Triple-double!
Always a rare treat to watch a player collect a triple-double and Tuesday, Michigan's Zavier Simpson was fantastic - handing out a career-high 11 assists to go along with 11 points and 10 rebounds. It's the sixth triple-double in Michigan history and it was a huge reason why the Associated Press No. 5 Wolverines turned a six-point halftime deficit into a 65-49 win.
That's 20 consecutive home wins for Michigan, which improved to 20-1 overall and 9-1 in the Big 10.
For us at 200 Game Season, we've had plenty of close calls & this was just our second triple-double after Georgia State's D'Marcus Simonds accomplished the feat in November, 2017.

Game 607: Villanova
NCAA Tournament national championship game
(3) Michigan vs. (1) Villanova
April 1 at Alamodome in San Antonio, TX
TBS
There were a ton of great stories in this NCAA Tournament:
* Maryland Baltimore County becoming the first No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed, stunning the top overall seed Virginia 74-54 in the South Region.
* Also in the South - No. 14 seed Buffalo blew out No. 3 Arizona in the first round and Loyola-Chicago went from a No. 11 seed to the final four.
* Syracuse does what Syracuse apparently does all the time now - win tournament games as a low seed, this time taking a No. 11 and winning a first four game, then upsetting sixth-seeded TCU and third-seeded Michigan State to get to the Sweet 16. The Orangemen lost to No. 2 seed Duke by just four.
* Michigan got hot at the right time, winning the Big 10 Tournament, then reaching the national title game with a five-game run in the NCAAs, which included a buzzer-beater over No. 6 seed Houston in the round of 32.....
....but there was one great team - Villanova, which won its second national championship in three years with a convincing, 79-62 victory over the Wolverines on Monday.

The Wildcats got to their second final four in three seasons (and third in Jay Wright's 17 seasons) thanks to huge edges in rebounding (51-33) and at the free throw line (29-of-35, Tech attempted 18).
I'd put Villanova as a slight favorite to win the whole thing, though Midwest champion Kansas, its opponent in next week's national semifinals, is just as capable of winning two more games.

Not much more to say about the Missouri Valley Conference champions, which shot 57% from the field, hit half of their 18 three-point attempts and rolled into the program's first final four since winning the title in 1963.
This was actually the first comfortable outcome for the Ramblers, who won by a combined four points in their first three tournament games, but 78-62 on Saturday. This one really wasn't all that close for much of the day. Ben Richardson was fantastic (23 points on 7-of-10 shooting) and his 3-pointer 3 1/2 minutes into the game put Loyola up for good. The lead grew to as much as 61-38 on a Lucas Williamson lay-up with 9:40 to go.
What a run and it continues in the national semifinals, next Saturday against Michigan.

The duo of Katelynn Flaherty and Hallie Thome were too much for the Big Sky champions as the Wolverines advanced with a 75-61 win.
Flaherty, Michigan's all-time leading scorer for either gender, scored 20 points and Thome dominated inside, finishing with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting. The No. 7 seed shot 57% (28-of-49) and didn't trail after Flaherty drained a 3-pointer with just over five minutes left in the opening quarter.
In its first-ever trip to the NCAAs, Northern Colorado was led by the Savannah's, Scott (game-high 25 points) and Smith (16 points).

What a second half for Keenan Evans.
The senior scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half and Texas Tech moved on with a 70-60 win.
Stephen F. Austin led by as much as eight points at 39-31 a couple minutes into the second half, but the Red Raiders chipped away and eventually took the lead for good on an Evans' lay-up with four minutes to play.
It's the first NCAA win for Texas Tech since the 2004-05 team beat Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16.
The Southland Conference champions didn't make a field goal over the final 5:24, and in particular, Ivan Canete didn't make a bucket over the final 13 minutes of the game and had just two of his team-high 17 points during that final stretch.

Game 433 - Notre Dame women at Michigan
November 29 at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, MI
Big 10 Network
Just a phenomenal performance by Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale in this Big 10/ACC Challenge game.
Ogunbowale hit a variety of nice pull up and fade away jumpers on her way to 32 points (tied a career high) as the Associated Press No. 3 Irish stayed unbeaten at 7-0 with an 83-63 victory.
Ogunbowale, a junior guard, made 65% of her field goal attempts (13-of-20), but it was a bit of her distribution that allowed Notre Dame to start to pull away. The visitors led 43-34 at halftime and it was a still a nine-point game early in the third when No. 22 Michigan turned the ball over and missed a lay up, which each led to perfectly executed Ogunbowale-to-Jackie Young fast break lay-ups that made it a 50-37 game.
Young, coming off an MVP performance in the Gulf Coast Showcase, had 18 points and 14 rebounds.
It was already Notre Dame's fourth win over a ranked opponent through the season's first three weeks. The Irish have also defeated No. 5 and defending national champion South Carolina in the Gulf Coast title game, No. 17 South Florida and 21st-ranked Oregon State. Connecticut will be the fifth when the Irish visit Storrs on Sunday.
Tough night for Katelynn Flaherty. The senior guard, Michigan's all-time leading scorer and second-leading scorer nationally coming into the night, missed 13 of her 18 field goal attempts and finished with just 13 points. Junior center Hallie Thome picked up the slack, scoring 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting.

March 23 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO

The top seed Jayhawks and third-seeded Ducks will meet in Saturday's regional final.
Kansas turned a seven-point halftime lead into a lopsided, 98-66 victory mainly because the Jayhawks have three terrific guards.
Frank Mason is a national player of the year candidate for a reason: the senior can do it all. Thursday, Mason had 26 points (9-of-11 from field, 4-of-5 from three), seven assists and seven rebounds and was in complete control of the Jayhawks' offense. Devonte Graham also scored 26 (7-of-15, 5-of-9), while Josh Jackson added 15 points and 12 rebounds. In fact, the freshman Jackson had three more rebounds than the Purdue duo of 6-9 Caleb Swanigan and 7-2 Isaac Haas.
Kansas was only up six about six minutes into the second half, but rolled the rest of the way and shot 53% from three-point range.
The Big 12 regular season champion is right now playing better than anyone in this tournament.
In the first game of the night, Michigan's Derrick Walton missed a three with about three seconds to go that would've been the game-winner as Oregon survived, 69-68.
Walton's final collegiate game was another good one - 20 points and eight assists - though for once, it wasn't enough. Zak Ervin was also really good for Michigan - he and Walton combined for 39 points on 14-of-24 shooting, but the rest of the team shot just 11-of-34 from the field.
Outstanding game for Oregon's Jordan Bell, who scored 16 points and was a monster on the glass with 13 rebounds. He and Tyler Dorsey (20 points, including five threes) are the big reasons why Oregon is in the Elite 8 for the second consecutive season looking for its first final four since the first tournament back in 1939.

It's looking more and more like Michigan State is going to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time sinch coach Tom Izzo's second season in East Lansing.
The Spartans were run out of the gym by their rivals on Tuesday night as Michigan shot 60 percent from the field (75% in the first half!) in an 86-57 victory.
It's MSU's worst loss in the series since another 29-point defeat at Crisler in February, 1996, during Izzo's first season on campus.
* A couple nonsense phrases to share from the broadcast, including "junkyard dog mentality" which was said four times, and "college basketball landscape", which was said twice.

It must be at any point in the Earth's history because Indiana lost early in the Big 10 Tournament.

Chatman's three was the 18th and final lead change (also 11 ties) in a back-and-forth game that may have put Michigan in the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, Indiana's league tournament woes continue as the loss dropped them to 11-19 all-time in the event and just 4-10 in the last 10 tournaments.
* Derrick Walton picked up his 12th assist on Chatman's shot, which set the single-game tournament record.
* Let's get a few quick Basketball Phrases:

"Bracketology"
"Sit at the big boy table"
"Stretch five"
"Screen the screener"
"Use it or lose it timeout"
