    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    That was an ugly game by both teams. Not a well played championship game but the best team won. Moving on to hockey and baseball now.

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    I’m starting to think that rim is not lined up correctly that UConn is currently on. Teams are a combined 1-20 with Mullins finally hitting one.

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    They aren't but when you have guys like Bilas and Kellogg state that they aren't picking Michigan because of the injury to Cason, you pay attention. Michigan was going to be the favorite even if those players were available or not. I just have a different perspective. Back in 2021 when...

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    Yet, you won't even take into consideration Michigan's injuries. The main reason people like Clark Kellogg and Jay Bilas (two of the few guys I respect in the business) didn't pick Michigan is because of Cason's injury (Who upped his game late in the season and was consistently scoring in double...

    I never implied that. Stop making shit up. The difference is that I can look at a team and give them their props. I can look at the 2024 Buckeye football team and say that they were the best team that year and deserved to win the championship. I don't come up with excuses to why they aren't...

    Holloway just adds more offense. He doesn’t change anything on the defensive side. It would also be a completely different game if Cason was healthy giving Michigan the ability to have 2 point guards on the floor at the same time with the ability to guard quicker guards. Cason’s excellent...

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    Teams in football or basketball that don’t invest in NIL are going to be left behind and that gap is going to increase in the next several years. The teams that had the best seasons in football and basketball this year had the biggest spending. Texas Tech has come out of nowhere with their...

    True, but Mara and Johnson didn’t really do anything with their teams before this year and EC was ran out of Chapel Hill. Getting Yaxel was huge, but May has been spot on in terms of identifying talent to fit his system.Recruiting has taken off….they literally had a 2026 5 star guard commit last...

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    It makes it easier. It doesn’t matter when it comes to winning. Michigan isn’t going to struggle with any of those teams at full strength based on matchups. There are just a few teams that matchup well with Michigan and none of them were in that region. May figured out his rotations just in time...

    2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

    It’s not going to make a difference. Do you honestly think Iowa state or Alabama is beating Michigan at full strength? Alabama plays no defense at all with a healthy roster or not. Michigan didn’t even really play their best game against Alabama. They, along with Texas Tech, aren’t good matchups...

    Even if UConn wins on Monday, I’m happy with how Reed has turned out. He was part of the shit show under Howard who I was never a fan of. Hurley saw something in him and if they win Monday, I’ll be happy for him, Karaban, and Mullins. I have no hate toward them and I have a feeling it’s going to...

    Michigan’s back up point guard (Cason) who was one of the best backup point guards in the country if not the best, tore his ACL after the Illinois and Yaxel was hurt last night. Injuries happen. It’s just excuses. Alabama or Iowa state isn’t keeping up with Michigan with how they have played in...

    Well choking implies that you had a chance. They didn’t have a chance. Michigan was a bad matchup for them even though I think Arizona is a hell of a team. May using EC with the bigs at the top of the key was genius. It wasn’t that Arizona wasn’t playing defense. Michigan’s pg play and execution...

    It doesn’t matter what region Michigan is in if they are on their A game. There is a reason Michigan has a chance to become the first team to have a 40+ rating in Kenpom since 2002. Their stats/metrics and results show this. Luck has nothing to do with it and comes a distant 4th compared to...
