Selection Show Open Thread
Happy Selection Sunday everyone! Sadly, it's not a great year for this holiday in sports due to this sleepy show...I thought it was still gonna be bad, but it would be better than I expected. Now that I'm seeing this format, there is clearly nothing they have up their sleeve! Way to make a boring show astronomically more boring CBS! They literally sucked all of the remaining excitement out of this show.
It's on TBS as controversially discussed, as well as the CBS Sports App and probably the March Madness App.
You can watch the team and the Maize Rage watch here: https://twitter.com/umichbball/status/972953533917028352?s=21
Probably the better bracket to be in compared to MSU, but I kind of wish we dropped to a 4 seed, since I think Xavier is a better match up then UNC if we make it that far.
Now what in the world can they possibly do for the next hour and a half to capture anyone's attention?
Would've rather faced Ohio and then Xavier as a 4 seed than Houston and NC as a 3 seed. Houston is not going to be easy.

MSU's spot and ours to MSU
region of death
West it is.
Played them in the championship game too....
That said, 4 big ten teams and somehow two end up in the same bracket.
Or the second round...
has seen a defense like ours.
Bring em on!!!!! Go Blue!!!!!!
Houston is tough guys. Shit.
why are 2 in the West Region?
Interesting if we face Brian Dutcher
if we get NC. They're a fraud.
Montana is the best #14 seed by about 25 spots on barttorvik.com
I would not sleep on them at all.
LOL ND LAST TEAM OUT
With a first round win & a SDSU upset, Michigan would face former associate head coach & Fisher assistant Brian Dutcher
I think we play Thurs at 7 PM Ann Arbor time, can anyone confirm?
Who knows where/when they post game times?

Maybe making a bad assumption but I'd guess we'd be the night cap?
I like that
SDSU coach Brian Dutcher was Fisher's assistant during his tenure as Michigan's HC.
can't be upset about a strong 14 seed, IMO - have to be able to beat a PSU/Neb on a neutral floor. Not that we can't lose of course.
Houston seems like a good team but also a good match up for M.
Much rather have week #1 & #2 seeds ahead of us and strong 6+ seeds behind than the reverse.
UNC is a 10 loss 2 seed. Can't say I recall seeing that before
