Final Thoughts:
After going off to a 14-0 Irish start, both defenses clamped down. But in the end the Irish made more plays in the return of their rivalry with Michigan.

A big win for the Irish, as they get an early jump on the CFP race, compared to Wolverines. However the Wolverines can come back if they run the table and win the Big Ten Championship. But that is easier said than done, when they have to face Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan State, in their division. 

The Wolverines will be at home to play Western Michigan. While the Irish will have another home game to play Ball State.

Final Thoughts:
For the first time ever a city has a NFL team that won a Super Bowl and a college basketball program win the NCAA National Championship. This year's edition of the Villanova Wildcats will go down as one of the greatest champions in NCAA MBK history. 

As for Michigan, they ran out of gas in this game. The Big Ten will have to wait another year to have a college basketball team to win the National Championship.

Hello and welcome to another edition of ‘Live Blogging on Shish on College Basketball’. Tonight it is the NCAA National Semifinals. In the first game it is the Cinderella Story of this tournament the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers taking the battle tested Michigan Wolverines. Ramblers are the champions of the South Region as a #11 seed. While the Wolverines are the champions of the West Region, as #3 seed , in that region.

This College Basketball Fan knew Loyola was going to be a team that was capable of winning a game or two in the tournament, when they went into Gainesville to defeat Florida back in December. But this run to San Antonio is improbable. The Ramblers made it to the National Semifinals with wins against Miami (FL), Tennesseee, Nevada, and Kansas St.

Statistically the Ramblers are led by Clayton Custer in scoring and assists. Donte Ingram leads Loyola in rebounding.

Meanwhile the Wolverines, are a battle-tested tournament team. Winners of the last two Big Ten Tournaments, a Sweet 16 last year. And a Final Four team this year. They got to the National Semifinals with wins over Montana, Houston, Texas A&M, and Florida St.

​But in tonight’s game, they need their talented team to make this a lop-sided game, because they shoot pitifully from the free throw line.

Statistically the Wolverines are led by Mo Wagner in scoring and rebounding. Zavier Simpson leads Michigan in assists.

It is the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers and Michigan Wolverines. The winner advances to the 2018 National Championship. This game will start shortly.

Final Leaders:
Scoring: Wagner (MICH) 24 points
Rebounding: Wagner (MICH) 14 rebounds
Assists: Simpson (MICH) 3 assists

Final Thoughts:
Loyola showed some toughness, but their 2nd Half turnovers and Mo Wagner and Wolverines taking over the last 13-1/2 minutes of the game, proved that the clock struck Midnight for the Ramblers. For the Wolverines, they need better guard play from Simpson and Abdur-Rahkman on Monday. 

Coming up next, Kansas Jayhawks and Villanova Wildcats.
