Turnovers were a problem for both teams, but in the end more so for Arizona. Michigan was able to compensate in other areas, most notably scoring.
No jinx, Terry. Arizona was outplayed across the board. They showed their ability to come from behind and win earlier, but not last night against Bobda's Wolverines.
Congratulations on Michigan's win, Bobda. The Wolverines outplayed Arizona across the board and were decidedly the better team last night. Good luck to you in the National Championship game. With the number of national title games Michigan has played in since the introduction of the 64-team format the Wolverines have shown they are the class of the Big 10. Punch that ticket tomorrow night. Bear Down.
Nate Oates apparently has new contract that makes him one the 5 highest paid college coaches in the game today. The article didn’t give a dollar amount.
I am really surprised at UCLA routing Carolina. Wonder if all of the on court and off court drama surrounding the SC-UConn game took a toll on SC.
Me too Bobda. UCLA is definitely a talented and well stocked group of players with good size. but the outcome was definiely a surprise!
I'm like you, Bobda and Don. I watched UCLA in the semi-final and of course they were impressive, but I also watched the SC-UConn game and felt that SC would outquick and outshoot UCLA. Coupled with my miscalls in the Brackets contest, I probably don't have a future (or present) as an analyst.
