I don't have anything useful to add but just want to shout out @HoopsTournament for the stat breakdowns. They've been fun to read all tourney.

And the typical reaction from the Duke announcer wanting a technical for UCONN leaving the bench. That guy must be fun guy to have at the office party
Very timely. That takes a lot of work to anticipate the right stat to put at the right time.
Last time that happened was WAY back in 2021. (Baylor, Gonzaga, UCLA, Houston)
If UConn had to win an Elite 8 game, I'm glad it was in this fashion.
Would be nice if Iowa lost like this.

Sounds like the beginnings of a fine tradition.
Yes, but they would also be insufferable. Just look at the fair catch.
So, my adjusted Final Four for my Virtual Pool:
What I need:
UConn to beat Illinois, and Michigan to beat Arizona in the semi-finals.
UConn to beat Michigan in the Championship.
What I want to happen:
UConn to beat Illinois and Arizona to beat Michigan in the semi-finals
Arizona to beat UConn in the National Championship
