John Calipari has high praise for Charles Matthews after West Region honor

If not for Charles Matthews, Michigan wouldn't be headed to the Final Four.

Matthews has played so well during the Wolverines' NCAA Tournament run -- and especially in Los Angeles -- that even his old coach took notice.

In a classy move, John Calipari offered some congratulations to Matthews for being named the West Region's Most Outstanding Player. Matthews had a team-high 17 points and some clutch plays down the stretch against Florida State on Saturday night.

Very happy for @1CMatthews for being named the West Region's most outstanding player and making the Final Four.
