In Saturday’s Final Four games, Michigan handled Loyola with increased confidence down the stretch, with its star forward, Moritz Wagner from Germany, setting the pace with his size, accuracy, and full-court energy and enthusiasm. Normally, he and his team would be tough to bet against, given the way they’ve played in this postseason. But Villanova has played even better, and on Saturday crushed another top-seeded team, Kansas, with an almost supernatural torrent of three-point shots from almost every player wearing a Wildcats uniform. Villanova’s offense, especially from the perimeter, can’t be expected to replicate that performance tonight against Michigan – but Villanova, the most prolific three-point shooting team in NCAA history, is even prouder of its defense. Which, I expect, will win tonight’s championship game, which I can’t wait to watch.
