March Madness is down to four teams — and this weekend’s Final Four in Indianapolis is going to be appointment television.
Both games tip off Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. Here’s what we’ve got.
Game one gets going at 6:09 Eastern — number two seed UConn takes on number three seed Illinois. The Huskies are the underdogs here, with Illinois favored by two and a half. Illinois has won all four of its tournament games by double digits and looks like the most complete team remaining — but don’t count out Dan Hurley. UConn trailed Duke by 15 at halftime in the Elite Eight before pulling off one of the tournament’s most stunning comebacks, capped by a 35-foot buzzer beater from Braylon Mullins.
Then at 8:49 Eastern — it’s a battle of number one seeds — Michigan versus Arizona Michigan is a slight one-and-a-half-point favorite. The Wolverines are the overall favorite to win the national title, with Arizona right behind them. Michigan has scored at least 90 points in every tournament game so far— this one could be a track meet.
Radio coverage on Saturday begins at 4:00pm on WESB Sports, B107.5 FM.
