Michigan, Villanova vie for championship title in March Madness finale
Top-seeded Villanova will face third-seeded Michigan on Monday night in the championship game of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. The New York Times describes the match-up as "a David-vs.-Goliath story," with Villanova the heavy favorite, and CBS Sports calls it a "dream," "must-see" final. Still, anything can happen, especially in a year decorated with upsets like No. 16 UMBC beating No. 1 Virginia in the first round, and No. 11 Loyola-Chicago making it all the way to the Final Four.
Some 37,000 brackets correctly predicted the Michigan-Villanova matchup, with 54 percent expecting Villanova to come out on top and pick up their second title in three years. Tip-off is at 9:20 p.m. ET on TBS.
