The 2025-26 Men’s basketball season came to an end on April 6th, 2026, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The championship game was between the Michigan Wolverines and the UConn Huskies.
It was a good game at the start. Michigan was not making their shots, and they had to adjust. UConn was also struggling from the field as well. At the end of the first half, because both teams were struggling from the Field, Michigan only led 33-29. In the second half, things changed.
Dusty May, the coach of Michigan who was in his first national title, made the proper adjustments in the second half to win the game. In the second half, Michigan started attacking the hoop more and drawing more fouls. Dan Hurley, the UConn head coach, couldn’t believe the foul calls. Despite what Hurley thought of the calls, Michigan kept attacking the hoop. And even with the foul calls, UConn still had a chance to win it. Michigan ended up winning the national championship game 69-63.
This was good for Michigan because the last time they won a major title was the 2023 football championship. But most college sports fans look at it and say it’s tainted because they were proven to cheat throughout the year with Connor Stallions. But as an Ohio State fan, and fans now all around the college sports landscape, we must acknowledge that Michigan is basketball champion for the 2025-26 season. March Madness is always fun, and I look ahead to what happens next year in March Madness.
