Michigan’s Final Four victory was March Madness at its finest. An ugly first half, followed by being down by ten twice in the second half, things didn’t look good for most of their game against the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers.
It doesn’t matter how you start, it’s how you finish that is paramount, and Michigan figured it out before it was too late, and beat Loyola 69-57.
Celebrities and pundits were watching the game, and went on Twitter to post their thoughts.
We put together a list, enjoy.

I don't know if such a thing as a "clean" college basketball program exists. But ask around basketball circles, and virtually everyone says that Villanova and Michigan are two who "do it right." Pretty cool to see those two schools in the title game Monday.

Congratulated Grant Hill on the Hall of Fame.
They wished him luck in the national title game.
Rich Eisen- NFL Network
Said it a month ago and will say it again now: @JohnBeilein is the best coach in @umichbball history. Win or lose Monday Night.

He coaches kids up — look at @moritz_weasley — and he coaches TEAMS up. And always with class.
A true Michigan Man coaching a Michigan Team! #GoBlue

Jeff Goodman- ESPN
Poor Michigan assistant coach Luke Yaklich isn’t gonna get much sleep the next two nights. In charge of trying to figure a way to slow down this insane ‘Nova offense.

Dan Miller- FOX2 Detroit
This is going to be a game (assuming) where everybody picks Villanova. And they should. They're terrific and have been. But, we will see. Shooting comes and goes. Every game is a new game. And Michigan doesn't blink too often.

Adam Hill- Las Vegas Review Journal
Villanova is awesome and the rightful favorite on Monday night. But please, please attempt 40 3s against a real defense like Michigan. If they do, the Wolverines are your national champion. #goblue

Sam Webb- The Michigan Insider
#Michigan shows once again that it doesn't have to light it up from deep to win. Strong defense, a player that can carry them offensively for stretches, and key bench contributions. #CompleteTeam
