NCAA Tournament game thread: Michigan and UCLA meet for spot in Final Four

The Michigan Wolverines and UCLA Bruins meet on Tuesday night in Indianapolis with the last spot in the Final Four on the line. The winner will join Baylor, Houston and Gonzaga as the teams remaining in contention for a national title.

UCLA can stroke it. The Bruins are 34th in the nation in 3-point shooting, per KenPom, and are hitting 40 percent of their attempts so far in the tournament. They don’t shoot that many, though, as they’re just 296th in the country in percentage of shots from outside. Their big guns — Juzang, Jaquez and Bernard — can catch it and shoot it, but the offense is more predicated on them creating off the dribble and inside the arc.
