This is beautiful. scUM fan finally starts paying attention to basketball in March when his team has a red carpet laid out for them to the title game. Their confidence swells as they continue through the easiest path to a title game that I can remember. He actually thinks they can win tonight and is emboldened when they race out to an early nine point lead. Then reality sets in. Ain’t gonna lie, I’m a bit turgid.

Bingo. And it's the easiest path you can remember because it's, quite literally, the easiest path since the field expanded in the 80s. This year, Michigan made the title game without beating a team seeded any higher than a 6-seed. Before that cake-walk was handed to Michigan this year, it had happened exactly ZERO times in the 30-some years since the tournament expanded. It's no wonder that Michigan's doors were blown off when they finally played a really good team.
