The Huskies, led by coach Dan Hurley, are playing for their third national championship in four seasons after winning the tournament in 2023 and 2024. UConn has won six national championships overall, all since 1999, as it has established itself as one of the premier college basketball programs of the 21st century.
Michigan, meanwhile, finds itself in a familiar position playing in the national title game for the eighth time in program history. However, the Wolverines are 1-6 overall in the big game, with its lone win (and only national title) coming in the 1989 tournament with an 80-79 win over Seton Hall.

Tony Garcia, Detroit Free Press: Michigan’s run to the title game has been historic, becoming the first team to score 90 points or more in its first five games. UConn has been a true power, with an elite coach, now playing for its third national title in four years. U-M has barely stumbled as it puts together an all-time season and it won’t come now. The Wolverines get their second national title. The pick: Michigan 87, UConn 76.
