This is shaping up to be a really interesting final. Hard to see Michigan losing before the Finals given their bracket draw, the Zags really look good and should beat Baylor in a close Semi. The last and only undefeated National Champion beat Michigan in the Finals.....will the Zags repeat history??
OT: Michigan - Gonzaga

The Zags are ridiculously talented on offense.
They’re Iowa on steroids for anyone who has not seen them. IA is great on offense, at best average on defense. The Zags are not just good, but terrific on offense. On defense they are not terrific but they are above average.

Michigan and Gonzaga are on the same side of the bracket so won't meet in the final.
Still, Michigan and Gonzaga in one semi, and Baylor and Houston in the other should be pretty exciting matchups. Anything can happen before then of course, but at this point, those clearly look to be the top four teams remaining.
Good point. UCLA played pretty well tonight. You'd have to be nuts to take the Pac-12 teams for granted at this point.
Well, I'd bet that a Pac12 team will lose the late game tonight.
Houston should beat Oregon State, but I won't bet against the Beavers.
Michigan and Gonzaga won't lose in the next round.
My father-in-law, a long suffering UCLA alum who still talks about the glory days of the John Wooden era, is beside himself. I hope they can beat Michigan and make the Final Four, but that will be a tough matchup for the Bruins.
Dickinson is looking like a lost freshman.
Brooks looks to be their key if they are to win.
Michigan was just horrendous at the end. Wagner airballed an open three and then the player who got the offensive rebounder forced up a quick shot instead of taking the time (which he had) to get a better look. They had every opportunity to win that game.
I think the announcer said that Michigan missed its last 8 shots. And they lost by 2. They had good looks from three and shots right at the rim. I'm sure they're kicking themselves.
