Can they make it fifteen and add a National Championship to an incredible season?

The Wolverines will play the victor of Villanova-Kansas on Monday night. On the next Wolverines' possession, Wagner buried a step-back three and suddenly the score was tied, 47-47. He put Jordan Poole on the floor, who scored six points during that MI surge.

The Ramblers looked good halfway through the game.

The crux of Villanova's attack was a historic three-point barage.

Well, they're in the Final Four, so pretty awesome.

Cameron Krutwig, Loyola's big man, scored 17 points and Clayton Custer had 13 of his 15 after halftime. And Richardson averages just the sixth most points on the team.

He is, unquestionably, one of the brightest offensive minds in college basketball. It's no wonder they have made it this far, taking down four higher seeds in the process.

Wagner, who finished with 24 points and 15 rebounds, later hit a three-pointer that extended the lead to 59-51, and MI held on from there.

The offensive balance that Loyola displays can be said about the Wolverines as well.

After the March for Our Lives: What Happens Next?
HeadCount says their volunteers registered more than 4,800 new voters at 30 March for Our Lives events nationwide on Saturday. I really hope that all those attendees across the nation go out and vote. "It has made a mark on our lives ".

Michigan, in the national championship game for the first time since 2013, likely won't be favored heading into Monday night, but the Wolverines do have momentum.

Best player: Moritz Wagner. He was named the West regional's Most Outstanding Player after scoring 67 points in the four games.

"We're not done yet", MI senior Muhammad-Ali Abdur Rahkman said. Also, despite moving to the bench midway through the season, Duncan Robinson has been a key contributor for MI.

No. 3 MI has advanced to the national championship game with a 69-57 win over the 11th-seeded Ramblers, ending their magical run at the NCAA men's Final Four in San Antonio on Saturday. That defense is ranked at #4 in adjusted efficiency according to KenPom.

"This team's had no attention at all", Beilein said. And that all starts with the way their starting point guard, Zavier Simpson grinds on that end of the floor.

"I just tried to go in the game, take what the opponent is giving me, what the game is giving me, stay emotionally solid and don't get emotionally drunk, and it worked out today", Wagner said. But I loved the moment below, when Moe Wagner, somehow, kept his balance while leaving the elevated Alamodome court, avoiding the TBS announcing team and the rest of press row. The shots haven't always fallen for MI on their winning streak, but they are confident they can win a game in any manner thanks to their defense.

During their thirteen game win streak, MI has proven that they can win slow grind it out games, as well as up-tempo shootouts. MI got closer with an 11-4 run. If Loyola plays more deliberately, the Wolverines will slow the pace and play through their defense.

MI got the game to level on a Wagner 3-pointer, right in front of the Wolverines bench, that tied things at 47. Even their biggest weakness - free throw shooting - has looked improved. They will face off against either the Kansas Jayhawks or Villanova Wildcats in Monday's National Championship Game. Loyola-Chicago was able to overcome trouble early after trailing by as many as eight in the first half, with MI up 12-4. If they have even an average day shooting the ball, MI wins comfortably. The Wolverines rode into San Antonio with wins over No. 14 Montana, No. 6 Houston, No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 9 Florida State.
