A Spanish player in the NCAA final! Aday Mara completes a historic night

Spanish player Aday Mara delivered a remarkable performance to lead the Michigan Wolverines to the NCAA final after a convincing victory over the Arizona Wildcats (91-73), in a game that was decided long before the end.

The center from Zaragoza achieved his best performance in college basketball with 26 points, along with 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, proving to be a decisive presence on both ends of the court. His dominance in the paint completely disrupted Arizona's offense, as they struggled to find solutions against his intimidation.

Michigan set the pace right from the start with an 11-2 run that shaped the course of the game. With Mara as the focal point inside, the Wolverines extended the lead with contributions from players like Burnett, Gayle, and McKenney. Not even Yaxel Lendeborg's injury or Elliot Cadeau's lack of accuracy prevented the halftime score from reflecting a clear 48-32 lead.

After the break, Michigan's superiority became even more evident. The team managed leads close to 30 points, driven by their outside shooting and complete control of the boards. Mara remained the team's centerpiece, while Arizona, despite Koa Peat's efforts (16 points and 11 rebounds), never managed to get into the game.

A Final with a Historic Flavor

With this victory, Michigan will face the UConn Huskies in the final, who are seeking another title after winning their semifinal. The Wolverines arrive in great form, with Mara standing out as one of the tournament's key figures and having real chances of being chosen as the Final Four MVP.
