Michigan held its last four opponents in the NCAA Tourney -- Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona and UConn -- to their lowest field goals percentages of the season. All of them.
I know defense isn't always as sexy as big offensive numbers. But we just witnessed a generational defense.
Unstoppable from start to finish. Built with size and skill, Michigan imposed their will on college basketball and now stand alone at the top. The Wolverines’ National Championship run lives forever on the cover of SLAM 261.

People probably think Michigan fans are spoiled these days. But I promise it’s not as glamorous as it appears. The last year or two, if someone came up to me and said “congrats on the National Championship,” I was able to simply reply “thank you.”
Now I have to ask “which one?”
UConn averaged 18 fouls per game. They were severely undersized against Illinois and committed 21 fouls in the Final Four. Not a peep from anyone about fouls that game though. They were severely undersized against Michigan and committed 22 fouls last night. This is who UConn is.
It’s kind of crazy that since 2013 Michigan has played in more national championship games than Kentucky, Kansas, or Duke, the same number as UNC, and the only team with more appearances is the one they’re playing tonight
Dusty May on UNC speculation: "After last year, I decided I will never, ever respond to any job speculation .... I'm never going to comment on any job that I don't have. I think it's well-documented how happy I am at Michigan."
