Recap: DiVincenzo, Villanova bury Michigan to take home the title

It was a good run by Michigan to the national title game, but John Beilein's squad ran out of gas after a hot start, falling to Villanova in the National Championship Game 79-62 on Monday night in San Antonio.

Counting the vacated Final Four teams of 1992 and 1993, it's the the Wolverines fourth straight loss in the championship game.

Donte DiVincenzo put Villanova on his shoulders after Michigan got out to a 21-14 lead, scoring 18 in the first half and showing no chill in the second half as he finished with a game-high 31.

Moe Wagner was big early, scoring 11 in the game's first five minutes, but the Wildcats defense shut the big man down for the game's final 30 minutes.
