Still, the Blue Devils are favored to win it all next season. We know they will lose Cameron Boozer to the NBA, but who might return? Caleb Foster? Dame Sarr? Isaiah Evans? Oh, don't forget, Duke has the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, featuring top-five recruit Cameron Williams. Second on the board is this year's champion Michigan. It will presumably lose Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson and Aday Mara in the NBA Draft, but will return a few key pieces from this year's title team, as well as bring in a top-10 recruiting class. The Contenders: Also near the top of the board is Florida, which won the national championship a season ago. The Gators figure to lose big man Thomas Haugh to the NBA, but who else? It looks like a returning roster stacked with talent and experience. Then there is Arizona, which landed top-five recruit Caleb Holt, and could possibly return reigning Big 12 Player of the Year Jaden Bradley.

Michigan guard Trey McKenney (1) reacts to a play during the second half of the NCAA national championship game against Connecticut at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Monday, April 6, 2026. | Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesThe Michigan Wolverines are national champions for the first time since 1989!The Wolverines defeated the UConn Huskies, 69-63, in the National Championship of the NCAA Tournament in Indianapolis, Indiana. Elliot Cadeau was phenominal in the ultimate win, scoring 19 points to help Michigan finish its historic season.Heres how it all went down.FIRST HALFThe National Championship started at a slow pace, with both teams using the entire shot clock to find the perfect look as tension and anxiety pierced through the atmosphere. Morez Johnson Jr. broke the scoring open with a basket down low, Tarris Reed Jr. followed with one of his own, and Elliot Cadeau cut through the defense to get on the board as well.Defense was on full display early, as Reed and Mara battled inside the arc and neither team could connect from three. Trailing 11-10, UConn put together a small run. Malachi Smith got inside for two, Alex Karaban drained his first three-pointer, and Smith made a nice move on Cadeau to help the Huskies take their biggest lead of the game at 18-15.Malachi Smith breaks the press and finds Braylon Mullins for #MarchMadness@UConnMBBpic.twitter.com/tRZq58tBfJ NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026Through 13 minutes, Yaxel Lendeborg, Trey McKenney and Nimari Burnett had yet to score, with Johnson and Cadeau accounting for the Wolverines first 16 points.While Michigan couldnt buy a bucket over the next four minutes, it drew fouls and stayed within striking distance from the charity stripe. The Wolverines earned trips to the line on three straight possessions and reclaimed the lead at the 6:17 mark, 21-20, all without making a field goal.Michigan then went on another drought, failing to convert from the field for four and a half minutes. But UConn continued to get into foul trouble, with starting guards Solo Ball and Silas Demary Jr. picking up two fouls each, and Karaban being whistled for a Flagrant 1 hook-and-hold.The Wolverines capitalized on the sequence in a big way. Johnson sank both free throws from the flagrant foul, Lendeborg got on the board with a layup inside and Mara capped a 6-0 run with a post move.Aday Mara post work #MarchMadness@umichbballpic.twitter.com/a54vaysTwJ NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026UConn wouldnt go away. Ball knocked down another three while Michigan was 0-for-8 from deep. But Mara continued to find mismatches in the paint, and Roddy Gayle Jr. electrified the crowd with a thunderous put-back dunk to send the teams into the locker room.GET UP RODDY GAYLE pic.twitter.com/Yz0SkHVdwC NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026Both teams struggled to shoot in the first half. Michigan converted on 11-of-30 attempts without making a single three-pointer, while UConn was slightly worse, going 10-of-30 from the field and 5-of-15 from deep. The biggest difference was at the free throw line, where Michigan held a commanding 11-of-12 advantage to UConns 4-of-6.HALFTIME: MICHIGAN 33, CONNECTICUT 29SECOND HALFThe second half opened even more sluggishly than the first, with each team committing three turnovers apiece in the opening three minutes.Michigan quickly seized control, however. Cadeau broke the offensive drought with a big and-one, drawing Balls fourth foul in the process. Gayle Jr. swatted away Karabans layup attempt at the rim, and Lendeborg converted his own and-one to extend the advantage. At the first media timeout of the half, the Wolverines led 41-33.YAXEL GETS IT TO FALL #MarchMadness@umichbballpic.twitter.com/zmMSLMELVx NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026Out of the stoppage, Michigan kept its foot on the gas. McKenney hit a mid-range jumper to get on the board, and Cadeau went on a personal 5-0 run. That was capped by the teams first three-pointer of the game to push the lead into double digits with 13 minutes remaining.The Wolverines continued to impose their will near the glass, as Johnson swatted away two more shots and Lendeborg ran down a UConn fast-break attempt to hold the Huskies to just one make over a span of more than five minutes. Michigans offense stalled during that stretch shooting just 2-of-10 before Mara emphatically slammed home a lob from Gayle to energize the crowd at the under-eight timeout.THE LOB TO MARA #MarchMadness@umichbballpic.twitter.com/QQXizMlKVO NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026With time winding down, both teams traded jabs as tensions rose. Michigan followed the Mara dunk with four more points from Lendeborg and McKenney, and UConn answered with six straight, courtesy of a pair of Braylon Mullins triples.Karaban then hit a big three out of the final media timeout to give the Huskies some momentum, but the freshman phenom Trey McKenney sank the biggest shot of the night at the 1:49 mark a dagger three that pushed Michigans lead to nine, 65-56.A HUGE THREE FOR MICHIGAN #MarchMadness@umichbballpic.twitter.com/iLg5kEmzMv NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026UConn hung around, first with two Karaban free throws, and next, from a big Ball three-pointer, to come back within four points. The Wolverines made it interesting with a few misses from the charity stripe, but their defense hunkered down when it mattered most, forcing a missed three-pointer with fewer than 20 seconds to go.If his night couldnt have been more special, McKenney was perfect from the line on the other end to push Michigans lead to six and the Wolverines walked away national champions.FINAL SCORE: MICHIGAN 69, CONNECTICUT 63MICHIGAN STAT LEADERSG Elliot Cadeau: 19 points, 2 assists, 2 stealsF Yaxel Lendeborg: 13 points, 2 reboundsF Morez Johnson Jr.: 12 points, 10 reboundsC Aday Mara: 8 points, 4 reboundsCONNECTICUT STAT LEADERSF Alex Karaban: 17 points, 11 reboundsG Braylon Mullins: 11 points, 6 reboundsC Tarris Reed Jr.: 13 points, 14 reboundsG Solo Ball: 11 points
