The No. 1-seed Michigan Wolverines and No. 1-seed Arizona Wildcats will duke it out on Saturday in the Final Four in Indianapolis with a spot in the National Championship Game on the line. No pressure or anything.
We are now learning more details about when the game will begin and how we can watch it. The Wolverines and Wildcats will tip-off around 9 p.m. or so and can be viewed on TBS, TNT and truTV. No. 2-seed UConn and No. 3-seed Illinois will be the first game of the day and begin at 6:09 p.m.
Much like Michigan, Arizona has largely dominated its competition thus far in the NCAA Tournament:
- No. 16-seed Long Island: 92-58
- No. 9-seed Utah State: 78-66
- No. 4-seed Arkansas: 109-88
- No. 2-seed Purdue: 79-64
The Wildcats are led by Big 12 Player of the Year, senior guard Jaden Bradley. He averages 13.3 points, 4.4 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 46 percent from the field and 39.4 from beyond the arc. Arizona also has a pair of highly talented freshmen in guard Brayden Burries and forward Koa Peat. Burries leads the team in scoring (16.1 points per game, 50 percent from the field, 40.2 percent from three) while Peat isn’t far behind (14.1 points per game, 54.4 percent from the field).
But Big Ten Player of the Year and Most Outstanding Player of the Midwest Region, Yaxel Lendeborg, is going to give the Wildcats all they can handle. After only scoring nine points in the Round of 64 victory over Howard, he lit up the scoreboard with 25 against Saint Louis, 23 against Alabama and 27 against Tennessee.
