ESPN analyst Jay Bilas came away impressed with Michigan’s physicality in the national title game, pointing to their dominance in the paint and defense in a game that wasn’t exactly pretty. He also pushed back on the idea of a single championship blueprint, saying roster building is always evolving, whether it’s young stars or experienced groups. And on Mike Malone heading to North Carolina, Bilas called it a strong move, noting his experience should ease the transition from the NBA to college.
