About This Game
The stats tell a tale of defensive intensity and a critical difference in three-point shooting. Loyola Chicago, riding tournament momentum, faced a Michigan squad intent on ending the Ramblers' Cinderella run. Both teams struggled to find consistent rhythm—a grinding, defensive affair typical of Final Four basketball. But Michigan's perimeter accuracy proved decisive. The Wolverines made seven three-pointers while Loyola managed just one, a shooting disparity that defined the outcome. Loyola showed resilience with 32 rebounds and held their own on the glass at 39-32, but turnovers became their downfall. The Ramblers coughed it up 17 times compared to Michigan's 11, a margin that proved critical in the second half when the Wolverines rallied from a 10-point deficit. Both teams combined for 91 shot attempts in this low-efficiency semifinal, but Michigan's composure and perimeter threat created enough separation down the stretch. Every possession, every three-pointer, and every turnover is captured in the detailed play-by-play available as a custom Gameprint—a visual record of tournament intensity and execution.
