Grant and Tanner preview both Final Four matchups, break down the road to the national championship, and lock in their picks. UConn made a miraculous comeback against Duke to get here. Illinois has been one of the most offensively efficient teams in the country. Michigan and Arizona are the two best teams in KenPom. And when it's all said and done — Grant and Tanner expect UConn vs. Michigan in the title game, with Michigan cutting down the nets.
UCONN VS ILLINOIS: Dan Hurley is the single biggest reason UConn is back in the Final Four for the third straight year. The Huskies already beat Illinois once this season, survived a miraculous Elite Eight comeback against Duke, and their defense is built to slow down exactly what Illinois does offensively. But the Illini have been relentless all tournament and won't go quietly. Full breakdown, full pick.
MICHIGAN VS ARIZONA: The two highest-rated teams in KenPom on the same floor. Michigan's athletes and defensive presence against Arizona's ruthless offensive efficiency from two. Grant and Tanner identify the key matchup, explain why both teams are built differently than everyone else left in the field, and make their pick.
WHY MICHIGAN WINS IT ALL: UConn vs. Michigan in the title game. The athletes, the defense, the analytics, the coaching — Grant and Tanner lay out the full case for the Wolverines in Indianapolis and explain why they match up better against the Huskies than anyone UConn has seen all tournament.
