The Men's Final Four kicked off today that include two must see games on the day's slate. No. 3 Illinois vs No. 2 UConn and later No. 1 Michigan vs No. 1 Arizona. This tracking will include aspects from both games. UConn is coming off of an instant classic beating Duke in the final ten seconds of that game. For Illinois, a win in this game would mark their first ever basketball National Championship game appearance. In addition to also addressing the events of Michigan vs Arizona, this will also include any noteworthy moments from the Fab Five alternate broadcast. For only the second time since 1994, all five members of the Fab Five Michigan team will be in studio giving commentary. Winners:Michigan vs Arizona:Illinois vs UConn:The fans and spectators. This game's first half has felt like a Final Four game. Something that could not be unanimously said about the Elite Eight round. Illinois' second defense. Affecting UConn's shooting has led to closing in on the lead. Freshman three point shooting. Despite an 0-7 stretch from Braylon Mullins to start the second half, both Mullins and Keaton Wagler have begun to hit from deep in the final 3+ minutes of the game. Wagler and Mullins are the first pair of opposing freshman with 15+ points in a Final Four game since 1982.Solo Ball. Ball scored his highest output in this game since March 12. Including hitting 3 threes. If he had played to his average as of late, there's a chance Illinois sees a couple leads in the latter end of the game. Losers:Michigan vs Arizona:Illinois vs UConn:Neither team is shooting all that well. Illinois-36%, UConn-38%, but UConn is shooting the three 14% better than Illinois. Illinois inability to close the gap. There have been plenty of factors that weren't good enough, but the Fighting Illini were within 4 multiple times in the last 5 minutes. They simply couldn't get the stops they needed to in order to surge ahead. Illinois 3-pt shooting. They were 6 for 26. Those 20 missed shots is more than the difference in this game.
