Michigan is off to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament national championship game.
The Wolverines, the No. 1 seed out of the Midwest, is set to take on No. 2 seed UConn out of the East Region. The national championship game is scheduled for Monday night. Tipoff is scheduled for close to 9 p.m. E.T.
Michigan has a lot of stars on this year's team. Wolverines senior forward Yaxel Lendeborg is perhaps the best player in the country. Michigan head coach Dusty May has turned the Wolverines into a powerhouse, shortly after leaving FAU for the Big Ten head coaching job.
