The Final Four is set with Michigan and UConn punching their tickets Sunday. The Wolverines will certainly have a tough road ahead of them, facing the other one-seed left in the NCAA Tournament, Arizona, in the Final Four.
Probably one of Michigan's most feared matchups, Duke, which the Wolverines already lost to this season, was sent home packing by the UConn Huskies. The loss by the Blue Devils has now given the Wolverines the best odds to win the National Championship in just one week.
Head coach Dusty May had his team focused and ready for their Elite Eight matchup against Tennessee, winning by the largest margin of any game at this stage. Michigan handled the Volunteers 95-62 in one of its most complete games of the season.
With that kind of momentum, Michigan should feel great about the odds to make the Natty, just like how oddsmakers feel, too.

Michigan's Final Four opponent, Arizona, is right behind them in the odds, while Illinois and UConn bring up the tail end. These odds should have Wolverines fans giddy, believing that they could have a basketball title for the first time since 1989.
Star guard Yaxel Lendeborg has vowed that he plans to bring home a championship to Ann Arbor, and with the way the Wolverines looked against Tennessee, it feels like more and more of a possibility. Arizona will certainly be a tough battle for the Wolverines, as they are almost as complete as Michigan.
Arizona will be able to match up well size-wise with Michigan, and it certainly will come down to points in the paint. If Michigan can get past the Wildcats, it feels like nothing can stop them from cutting down the nets after the National Championship.
