It is no secret Villanova is the favorite over Michigan in the 2018 National Championship Game at -6½ via MyBookie.

So the Wolverines have adopted that underdog role, led by coach John Beilein as evidenced by this picture of the coach below.

Beilein can be seen holding up a sign reading “SHOCK THE WORLD BOYS GO BLUE!” as the team left its hotel to a crowd of cheering fans and the school band.

Of course, as a 3 seed facing a 1 seed, the Wolverines are the underdogs regardless, though they have been hot and were drawing predictions to make a run before the NCAA Tournament.

The Wolverines and Wildcats tip at 9:20 tonight on TBS. You can follow along for the score, live updates, stats and more here.
