#2 West vs Montana
Izzo is 1-15 vs Coach K. But honestly I see them losing earlier than that
i see sparty having some legs in the tournament this year. we can complain about the refs, injuries, etc, but the bottom line is that they were tough when they needed to be and showed some clutch play repeatedly. final four, probably not, but i think they make it out of this coming weekend.
We have the tougher games imo. Duke is just one team
Game is 9:30 ish on Thursday. SLUDGEFART II: FARTURN OF THE SLUDGE
At least it's a late game so I can see it even though I'm traveling on business this week
Espn’s write up about Michigan lists Austin Davis as one of the key bench players (insert Chris Rock gif) , but didn’t include Beilein’s use of the 1-3-1.
Florida v Nevada at 6:50. That will probably put the Michigan tip between 9:30-9:45. At least they played well Fri and Sat at that time.
Agreed but that was in a rocking atmosphere at the United Center. I'm terrified of another start like we had last year against Montana in Wichita. I think the crowd for a late start in Iowa is gonna be a snoozefest. I really, really hope I'm wrong.
Hopefully MSU is a final four level team. That would be the only way to stomach 0-3.
Who cares what they do? You won't stomach it if we make the final four and they get bounced in the first weekend again?
You missed the point.
Eh we have a tougher draw imo. Montana and Nevada are much better than Bradley and an up and down Louisville. I can see MSU going further than us pretty easily actually. We'll see

Unless you’re playing for big money why not just take Michigan to win it all? I usually get in a small office pool and I take Michigan to win it all. If I lose my $5 or $10 entry fee big deal. I don’t understand why you would pick Michigan to go all the way to the final 4 and then lose?
Same except Virginia is not making it that far. They will blow it as always. They're even worse than Izzo in that regard, and that's saying something.
I think I've got Duke over Tennessee
I am OK with our placement.
If losing today was the way to delay a confrontation with Duke for a bit, I think it was a small price to pay in the end.

I’m putting money money on UM.
