The second, from freshman Trey McKenney, came with 1:50 left and felt like a dagger, giving the Wolverines a nine-point lead. <\/p>\n<p>To no one&#8217;s surprise, UConn fought to the finish \u2014 Solo Ball banked in a 3 to cut it to four with 37 seconds left \u2014 and after two missed free throws, UConn&#8217;s Alex Karaban (17 points) barely grazed the rim on a 3 that would&#8217;ve cut the deficit to one with 17 seconds left. <\/p>\n<p>Not until McKenney sank two free throws to bring Michigan&#8217;s shooting from the line to 25 for 28 for the night could the Wolverines (37-3) kick off the celebration. <\/p>\n<p>The game had a 1950s feel to it. <\/p>\n<p>Michigan had to fight for everything. The Wolverines missed their first 11 shots from 3, finished 2 for 15 from there and won despite the struggles of its best player, Yaxel Lendeborg. Ailing with a hurt knee and foot that kept him from elevating, the graduate transfer from UAB finished with 13 points on 4-for-13 shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michigan&#8217;s roster, freshly constructed out of last year&#8217;s transfer portal, had become the first team to score 90-plus points in five straight tournament games in the same season. With the help of 7-foot-3 center Aday Mara, the defense amassed eight or more blocks in the first four games of the tournament \u2014 the first time that&#8217;s happened since blocks became an official stat in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines had only three swats against Arizona, but that was a 91-73 win in a game that was supposed to be the best of the tournament but turned into something else.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story.
