That is Michigan's fault, though. If the refs are going to call the game way they do, it would make sense to play that way.
Louisville took advantage of it. Michigan did not.
Back in the 70s the Big Ten played physical ball (different than today's physical) and they got hurt when they got to the tourney and the game was called closer (yes there were exceptions, but overall)
Today, the Big Ten plays the same style of physical that they have always played, but it is not the clutching and grabbing type of physical.
It bit Michigan in the ass in the final gameI feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

Pitino's whole shtick is to have a deep rotation of fast relentless guards play tight on the ball defense for the full court while having a shot blocker back there to protect them if they get run by.
You can beat it with inside dominance. You can beat it by superior ball handling and shooting. You can beat it by very disciplined play with a smart game plan.
The other side of the problem for uofm was they were not very good at stopping penetration, not particularly good at protecting the rim with help defense, and not anything special at transition defense and that's the main things that Louisville does particularly well on offense. Their best scorer had a terrible game but the rest of the team mostly had their way with the defense of UofM.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

FWIW, I think Brook is right. The grabby shitty crappy Louisville defense didn't cause Michigan to lose. Michigan scored more on Louisville than any team had all year (points per possession at least).
Michigans defense was awful. It looked completely utterly lost at times.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi
