Michigan locked into 2:30 B1G Tournament game
Plan your excuses now for getting off work next week.
With tonight's win, Michigan is officially locked into a 2:30 game. Whether the first B1G Tournament game is on Thursday or Friday is still up in the air.
We get the 4 seed double bye if and only if these two things both happen-
- Michigan beats Maryland on Saturday
- Penn State beats Nebraska on Sunday
The opening game for the team at MSG would be on Friday in the Quarterfinals at 2:30 if the double bye is secured.
Otherwise, 2:30pm on Thursday in the Second Round against the winner of the 12 seed vs Rutgers First Round game. Should we win that hypothetical game, back at it on Friday at 2:30pm against the 4 seed Nebraska.

Best Kasha in all of Moscow, which means pretty bad. Word is the Borscht is pretty good though...

but am my own boss, so I don't have to make excuses to anybody for being home on Thursday and/or Friday afternoon!

getting out of the rat race. I will be joining you at the end of June. However, I will probably find some mindless work to do for a few more years until my wife can get out and our daughter is through grad school. But no more stress that's for sure.

I watch stuff at work all the time. I don't see how it is much different than people who listen to podcasts/talk shows/ audiobooks. Obviously it isn't the best viewing experience, but it's better than nothing! I will be waiting for gametime with anticipation from my desk.

Not sure what your job is, but I would say watching something requires much more focus and effort than listening. I know many companies that allow employees to listen to music or podcasts on their headphones. I do not know of many that allow them to watch Netflix.

Two desperate teams fighting tooth and nail to keep their extremely slim hopes of a tournament berth alive. It sure is good to not find ourselves in that position this year!

That type of desperation makes for must-see TV and I'd like to have a little extra on the line with the doube-bye.

If they can get onto the bubble/into the discussion, I think they'll get in,
I expect them to win @Nebraska.

Nebraska plays really well at home. Should be a good one. Definitely an elimination game as far as at-large hopes go.

Bob.
Unless one is manning a cash register, most office time is wasted on meetings, pointless conversations, and when work does start to happen, the building conducts a manditory fire drill.
WFH = productive and happy employees. Unless you are the type of boss that feels the need to exert dominance and controlling supervision of your employees. But that might mean you are an ineffective boss... hmmmm.... Glad to see you on a sports blog.
Go Blue!

meant he was going to DVR it and watch at 5:30? Either that or he's late for a lot of things.

Nah, I fucked up. Spent the better part of my adult life in CA and still fuck that up sometimes.

and there's always an outside chance of a loss.
I ran scenarios through the RPI forecast and winning a neutral site game against any of our potential first round opponents does not change our RPI (not up or down) so would rather not play it so we can be fresh and not have to risk losing.
It would be a no-win scenario to have to play that game.

With Okla St's loss tonight, the Big 12 has entered the danger zone of only having 2 teams in the NCAA tournament.
Just read that on ESPN. Seemed ridiculous, and then I looked andt West Virginia doesn't have the resume I expected and should be a bubble team. Then it's K-State. However, Oklahoma State WON tonight over Texas Tech...which is already one of the 2 teams guaranteed from the Big12 so, it's kind of a weird tweet.

That's because Charlie Creme is the WOMEN'S basketball bracketologist for ESPN.
