UConn, Michigan set for NCAA championship game rematch in first week of 2026-27 college-basketball season

The NCAA knows it had a good thing when Michigan and UConn squared off in the national championship game in April. While the game was, at times, not pretty, it was exciting, with Michigan pulling off a narrow 69-63 win to claim the national title.

If Dan Hurley and UConn are seeking revenge for that loss, they won’t have to wait long for that opportunity. Both teams will square off in a rematch of the national championship game during the first week of the 2026-27 college-basketball season, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
