Michigan Wolverines junior guard Charles Matthews helped seal Big Blue's Final Four victory over the No. 11 Loyola-Chicago Ramblers on Saturday with an emphatic dunk.

Matthews was all alone on a fast break with just over 1:30 remaining in the game, and he slammed one home to extend No. 3 Michigan's lead to 63-53.

The Wolverines went on to prevail 69-57.

Michigan overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half to advance to Monday's national championship game against either Villanova or Kansas.

Matthews was Michigan's second-leading scorer in the game with 17 points, and he added five rebounds and three steals.
