    Michigan Postgame Recap: Michigan pummels Arizona in Final Four; Advances to National Championship
    Apr 5 2026
    Michigan defeated Arizona 91-73, led by Aday Mara's dominant performance, who posted 26 points and nine rebounds. After the game, The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb and Josh Newkirk dissected the beatdown, emphasizing Michigan's dominance both inside and outside the arc, without Yaxel Lendeborg for much of the game due to injury. Its shooting prowess proved a major separator, as the Wolverines hit 12 threes to Arizona's six. Furthermore, Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney served as the perimeter engines, with Cadeau recording 10 assists and McKenney scoring 16 points off the bench on 6/9 shooting and 4/6 from three. Despite Lendeborg's injury, Michigan is now favored to win the national championship against UConn. However, we detail why the Huskies, known for their strong defense and balanced scoring, are likely to be a more formidable foe than Arizona proved to be.
