CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Michigan Wolverines aren’t the only ones waking up as winners this morning—Coastal Bend residents can win too by scoring free small fries and a frosty for today only after the Wolverines’ NCAA Championship win over the Connecticut Huskies.

Wendy’s announced the deal on X following Michigan’s 69-63 victory on Monday, marking the program’s first national championship since 1989. 

The offer is valid at every Wendy’s locations with no additional purchase required.

On the court, Michigan secured the title after defeating UConn in a closely contested final, with guard Roddy Gayle Jr. highlighted in online commentary tied to the viral celebration post shared by the brand.

The championship marks a historic return to the top for Michigan men’s basketball, which had previously fallen short in title games in 1992, 1993, 2013, and 2018.
