Michigan won the 2026 NCAA men’s basketball national championship, beating UConn in the title game, 69-63. It was the only close game that the Wolverines played on their 6-0 March Madness run to the title, and yet it was still never close enough to truly be in doubt.
Michigan seemed inevitable during the NCAA tournament and throughout the rest of their season as they went 37-3, falling just one win short of the record of 38 wins in a season by a men's team, previously reached by three different John Calipari teams at Kentucky ('11-'12, '14-'15) and Memphis ('07-'08.)
