College basketball's biggest night is here and it does not get much better than this. The Michigan Wolverines have been on a historic tear through the 2026 NCAA Tournament becoming the first team ever to drop 90 or more points in five straight tournament games.
Standing in their way is the UConn Huskies, a program that has won two of the last three national titles and knows exactly what it takes to close out a run like this. Two programs at the top of their game meeting for the whole thing.
Dan Hurley has built UConn into a dynasty and is chasing a third title in four years. Dusty May has Michigan rolling and has put together one of the more impressive coaching performances in recent tournament memory.
