UConn vs. Michigan Score, Live Updates, Highlights From NCAA Men's Championship Game originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On Monday night in Indianapolis, UConn will be looking to cement a dynasty that would stand alone in the modern era. After winning back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, Dan Hurley, Alex Karaban, Tarris Reed Jr. and the rest of the Huskies are one victory away from capturing the program's third national title in four seasons.
Standing in the way of that immortality is a Michigan team that has blitzed every tournament opponent. With Big Ten Player of the Year Yaxel Lendeborg and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Aday Mara leading the charge, Dusty May and the Wolverines have authored a remarkable turnaround just two years removed from one of the worst seasons in program history.
Will Karaban walk off the court with his third ring? Can Michigan secure its first title since Glen Rice guided the Wolverines to the trophy in 1989?
Follow along for live updates throughout the night as UConn and Michigan battle for the 2026 national championship.
