Former Arizona basketball legend Mike Bibby believes his old team's Final Four showdown with Michigan isn't just another game - it's the real national championship.
Bibby, who helped Arizona win the 1997 national title, says the Saturday night matchup between the tournament's final two No. 1 seeds will determine the true champion. Both teams steamrolled through their regions to reach this point.
Sports analysts agree with Bibby's assessment. Multiple outlets are calling the Arizona-Michigan game the "de facto national championship" because both teams have looked nearly unstoppable in March Madness.
The winner will face either Illinois or UConn in Monday's championship game. But most experts believe Saturday's Arizona-Michigan battle features the two best teams remaining in the tournament.
Bibby knows championship basketball at Arizona. He was the point guard who led the Wildcats to their last national title nearly 30 years ago.
This game will likely determine the true national champion, as both teams dominated their way to the Final Four. College basketball fans are calling it the most anticipated matchup in years.
Arizona and Michigan play Saturday night in the Final Four. The winner advances to Monday's championship game.
