Watching this seven seed increase their lead over North Carolina. However, their level of domination and that inside talent is now scaring me so much that I almost want a North Carolina come back. Kind of strange. Regardless, we’ve got Beilein.

Carolina has had a ton of open shots.  If we make shots we beat A&M going away.  But we need to make them.  Also suspect Wagner can take this big off the dribble.

I mean this does look worse since UNC is missing all their threes except 1 and AM is making them. UNC is better than what they’re showing and AM may not be as good. Either way it will be tough but Michigan is good too.

UM is going to have to shoot very, very well from 3 to beat A&M. TAMU is stonewalling UNC's big guys. I can't see Michigan getting much success inside against those shot blockers.

If we are not hitting threes, we are done.

We won't do the Montana / Houston thing on this team.  They won't just hang out while we stagnate on offense.  We will have to keep pace.

Happy to play the 7 seed. I don’t understand the handwringing. Anyone we play would be good. And we have matched up well with teams like them this year.
