Michigan vs Arizona Final Four pick, prediction
Tony Garcia, Detroit Free Press: It’s not Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier, but it will be a heavyweight battle. Michigan and Arizona both bulldozed their way through their respective regionals, all setting up this moment. The Wildcats are one of the few teams that have the size, depth and skill that can match the Wolverines at every spot. But Michigan players and coaches say they’re back to their Las Vegas level – assistant Justin Joyner said it started in the second half of the Saint Louis matchup. Michigan has felt all year if it plays it’s A-game, it can beat anyone in the country. Arizona will certainly put that to the test. But this Michigan team, led by Yaxel Lendeborg who’s had his best month of the season, is on a mission. The pick: Michigan 86, Arizona 83
