The March Madness 2026 final is already set: the UConn Huskies vs. the Michigan Wolverines. Despite the pedigree of their opponent, coach Dusty May is confident they have everything it takes to pull off a major upset.
“They have championship DNA. What they’ve done over the last four years is as impressive as anything we’ve seen in recent memory. And we’ve got our hands full Monday, but these guys will be up for the challenge,” he said on the TBS broadcast.
It was no easy task at all to reach this stage. The Wolverines defeated the Arizona Wildcats 91–73 in the Final Four, in May’s second season at the helm of the team. Will Michigan be able to achieve its ultimate goal on Monday night?
