Michigan's championship completes Dusty May's family homecoming

Michigan beat UConn 69-63 for the program's second national title, and coach Dusty May celebrated the victory with about 100 family members from his Indiana hometown.

Dusty May coached Michigan to a 69-63 win over UConn at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the victory turned into a family homecoming. May and his wife, Anna, grew up near Indianapolis and had roughly a hundred relatives and friends in the stands. Their three sons joined the celebration in different roles: Eli served as a Michigan manager, Charlie is a senior walk-on, and Jack made a brief appearance while working for the Miami Heat. The title is Michigan's second national championship and came after May recently pledged to remain at the school amid outside interest. Game and family details: - Michigan defeated UConn 69-63 at Lucas Oil Stadium. - About 100 family members and college friends from the Mays' Indiana roots attended. - The May sons were present in team roles: Eli as a manager, Charlie as a walk-on and Jack visiting from his job in the Heat video room. - Michigan shot 2-of-15 from 3-point range, assisted on 7-of-21 baskets, and made 25-of-28 free throws in the game. They had previously become the first team to score more than 90 points in each of their first five NCAA tournament games. - Star Yaxel Lendeborg played despite an MCL and ankle sprain and had limited production until later in the game; Michigan used brief defensive presses and a smaller lineup at times. - Staff moves were noted immediately after the title: the transfer portal was set to open, assistant Justin Joyner is set to take a head-coaching job at Oregon State, and five players are graduating.
