Michigan took care of business with a 69-63 win over UConn in Monday's National Championship game. The defensive battle went back-and-forth, but the Wolverines outlasted the Huskies for the second title in school history. Elliot Cadeau led the way with 19 points. 

After the game, there was one key piece missing from Michigan's sideline. The game ball was launched into the stands by UConn's Alex Karaban, giving one lucky fan a $100,000 souvenir, according to former ESPN writer Darren Rovel. No word if Michigan officials were able to make contact with the fan to secure a piece of history. 

As for the game itself, the final minutes were a gritty test of strength from both sides. UConn felt the game slipping away and tried everything to pull back within a one-score contest. However, Michigan wouldn't be denied on the biggest stage. 

Dusty May prepared his team for this moment and every small detail paid off. With the Michigan win, the Big Ten's 26-year drought without a title was snapped. For UConn and Dan Hurley, the talk about a dynasty goes away for now. Two titles in four years isn't a terrible feat and still puts the Huskies in the conversation of being an elite in college basketball.
