Michigan Ends Loyola-Chicago’s Wild Ride in the Final Four

SAN ANTONIO — Moritz Wagner — but you can call him Moe — patiently held the ball at the 3-point arc. He waited for his Michigan teammate Charles Matthews to make his move, cutting to the basket. Then Wagner sent a gorgeous bounce pass to Matthews, who laid the ball in to give the Wolverines a 4-point lead with less than six minutes to play in their N.C.A.A. tournament semifinal on Saturday.

In addition to that assist, Wagner had 16 points and 14 rebounds at that point, and it seemed reasonable to ask: Is there anything he can’t do?
