Bobby and jj Arizona? Betting the teasers now on Michigan.

 

[seaborneq]

I would definitely bet Arizona. Every time I have seen Michigan play I don't know how they are winning. I don’t know if its coaching or length, but either way no one can hold them under 85 points.

I like Arizona I've felt all along they're the best team. Michigan has looked good in this tournament and Arizona did have problems with Purdue but I think Arizona's depth and physcality will be enough in this one for the Wildcats to punch their ticket to the title game.

 

[Tanko]

Yeah... Arizona for me.

"A fun fact for the 2026 matchup between the Michigan Wolverines and Arizona Wildcats in the Final Four is that
it represents a reunion of coaches who both built their success on the mid-major level before taking over their respective powerhouse programs. Michigan's Dusty May (formerly of FAU) and Arizona's Tommy Lloyd (formerly a long-time Gonzaga assistant) have brought their teams to the sport's biggest stage in the same season, highlighting their quick success and impact on their new programs.
Key Facts & Context:

• Final Four Collision Course: The two teams were considered the two best in the country for much of the 2025-26 season, making it a highly anticipated matchup.
• Transfer Portal Power: Both teams have heavily utilized the transfer portal for their success, with top players for Michigan arriving via the portal and Arizona relying on a mix of veterans and incoming transfers.
• Recent History: Tommy Lloyd took down a top-5 Michigan team in his fifth career game at Arizona in November 2021.
• High-Scoring Duel: The 2026 matchup is historic, as it is only the fifth time in Final Four history that both teams have 35 or more wins going into the game. "

Arizona all day

Biggest key here should be elite Michigan interior defense neutralizing one-dimensional Arizona offense that does all its scoring inside. Write-Up coming.

I would bet on Arizona. I still can’t understand how Michigan is obliterating teams. Is it coaching or length?
