UCONN in a lot of trouble, even though it is only a 4 point game. Michigan had a very poor shooting half and still hold the lead. I think Michigan breaks it open in the first few minutes of second half.

UConn is gonna need a better whistle in the 2nd half. Both teams are physical and play pressure D. It shouldn’t be 11-5 on fouls

UCONN needs to actually run it's offensive and make Michigan work.

I’m not counting UConn out. UConn won’t beat themselves. So if Michigan has a high turnover game and doesn’t shoot lights out from 3, I think it could be a close game. UConn will absolutely have to control tempo and do all the little things. Muck up the game.

With all the action UConn runs I don’t expect Mara to be much of a factor. I think Michigan probdbly goes with their smaller lineup of Morez at the 5 and switches every thing. UConn’s best chance to win is for Elliot Cadeau to be terrible, and for McKenney and Gayle to go like 1-9 from 3.

Michigan has had an easy tourney so far. They’ve scored 90+ points every game. Do they get tight if it’s like 32-29 at halftime? UConn is used to winning ugly

Michigan is so unlikable...

I hate both teams...Hurley being a jackass, and every Michigan player being really good at basketball, while also being a team full of pompous pricks.

Sigh...

Demary played 7 minutes and Ball played 10 minutes because of foul trouble. The argument could be made in the opposite direction that UCONN is only down 4 without their entire starting backcourt playing.

Nail gets hit on the head here. Exactly right. Michigan had about as poor of a shooting night as imagineable, yet did enough inside, in spite of a rather mundain rebounding half, to hold a four point lead. Not likely to see another half of poor shooting and rebounding from them so it still looks like a 15+ pt. Cheatigan margin coming up.

And yet, as fickle as the hoops gods can be, we will all be watching.

I definitely want Michigan to win, tired of hearing about the Big Ten not winning one since 2000. Also just hate Hurley. May is a great coach.

Just turned on the game at beginning of the second half. Think I will turn it off - don't think I can bring myself to watch either one of these teams win.

Ball with some low basketball IQ plays in the first few minutes of the half. Game is about to slip away.
