Strong counter-offer from Messirs Brown and Brooks.

And you can't have one without the other…

/looks around. Uh, where’d our conference go?

Somebody posted once a few years ago that they knew her and she knows her picture gets posted and that she liked being the yay girl. If this is ‘08, she is probably 31-33 now. I went to the Toledo game this year! Hopefully this was not the game in the picture. Ugh!

Sweeeeeeet.

Conference: to repeat, the Big Ten is like a bunch of characters in a horror movie going into a spooky house and disappearing one at a time.

Just stay alive.

This was a game UM had every reason to lose - down Livers, LSU hitting some stupid shots early, Thomas being largely unstoppable, LSU somehow managing only 3 TOs while coming into the game averaging 12 - and yet they persevered and won.  Brown and Brooks deserve a ton of credit for keeping them in it.  Also, anyone who thinks Howard is some sham coach needs to look no further than his adjustments in this game.  This is the type of gameplan and fluidity that you expect from a championship contender.  Illinois would still be in the tourney, for example, if Underwood was even half the coach at Howard.

Anyway, on to the Sweet 16.  And who knows, maybe a return of Livers.

Yeah, that's the thing about Michigan this year that I didn't expect - they can run with the fast teams and grind with the slow ones.  They dictate how you'll play but are also flexible enough to respond to what you do well.  I know UVa won a title so it can obviously work, but that's always felt like a major weakness of them or Iowa's utter aversion to defense - they've got one way to beat you and if it doesn't go their way they can't pivot.  That flexibility has been true at UM toward the end of the Beilein era as well as early Howard, and I expect it to continue.
