San Antonio's Alamodome is home to the semi-final round of the NCAA Men's basketball tournament. The Wolverines had spent the previous six-plus minutes slashing Loyola-Chicago's lead from 10 to three.
"We earned everything we got, and I think we did it the right way".
With 14 minutes left in its national semifinal game against Loyola, Michigan was shooting 31 percent from the field and trailed by 10. And they have been succeeding all season.
Sister Jean watched attentively in the second half while Loyola's healthy lead dwindled and vanished in a flurry of turnovers. And there will be no Hollywood ending for Loyola-Chicago.
For the third-seeded Michigan Wolverines, the team looks to revenge their 2013 loss in the NCAA championship and win its first title since 1989. Donte Ingram tossed up a floater that dropped in just before the buzzer after Custer missed at the rim.
The Ramblers were down by as many as eight points early after missing eight of their first 10 shots. MI big man Moe Wagner said. The Wolverines are 2-of-13 on 3-pointers. We had trouble scoring the first half.
Wagner topped all first-half scorers with 11 points. The 18 made threes are the most made in a Final Four game.
It is hard to imagine fans of any team recalling this tournament years from now and not nearly instantly thinking of the Ramblers. It swarmed Loyola, which at one stretch had a turnover on five straight possessions. But Jackson got open inside, then Marques Townes hit a contested jumper over Jordan Poole at the 9:19 mark to beat the shot clock. Lose that game, and the team likely never even hears its name called on Selection Sunday.
As the Ramblers played with the clear impression they belonged squarely alongside a Big Ten tournament champion with a 13-game winning streak and a very large name, they looked like they might have a big name themselves.
MI was up 12-4 at the 12:38 mark.

Carl Skau, Swedish Alternate Representative to the Security Council, said Friday that the use of force must be proportionate. They all expressed alarm at the flare-up of conflict in a volatile region.

How a Loyola Chicago legend's career was spurred by Jackie Robinson
Sophomore point guard Zavier Simpson missed two three-pointers, had a turnover and a foul on his way to the bench early. The Ramblers could only hope to accomplish something like that, having not made the NCAA Tournament in over 30 years.
MI has won 14 games in a row after ending Loyola's 14-game winning streak. The Wolverines will resume the underdog role they played much of the season Monday night, trying to win its second NCAA championship.
The Michigan Wolverines will play for a national title. "And then they didn't get too many second-half chances".
The Ramblers won the national championship in 1963, their only other appearance in the Final Four.
After the lights went down in the Alamodome, those students were under a spotlight on one side of the court, with images of the American flag displayed around them.
Loyola-Chicago's Cinderella run came to an end on Saturday night with a 69-57 loss to MI in the Final Four.
Loyola Chicago's blessed and joyous basketball journey came to an unhappy end on Saturday night at the hands of MI.
When the whole binge on one end and purge on the other got finished with 2:13 left and MI ahead 61-51, the last of Loyola Chicago's month of fetching resistance had faded.
"When I walked off the floor, I was asked what I said to them", Ramblers head coach Porter Moser said.
After being the only Wolverine to make an impact for much of the game on Saturday, Wagner began receiving some help - just as the No. 11 seed Ramblers, the darling story of this NCAA Tournament, began to fall apart.
Freshman center Cameron Krutwig had 17 points and Clayton Custer 15 for Loyola, which finished the season 32-6. Malik Newman added 21.
