I think we can all agree that this would not have been possible had Brian hosted a liveblog. GO BLUE! One more win in the BTT and we're golden!

We will most likely be seeded 7th and play Iowa in the first round, which is highly winnable. We blew them out in Ann Arbor and needed some comically bad late-game officiating to lose in overtime in Iowa City.

That timeout was priceless, especially when they showed the crowd shots. All the guys were clutching their heads in mind-bending frustration, and all the girls were screaming in joy. But seriously, someone should make sure Tubby doesn't throw himself off of a bridge tonight. That was harsh.

Now the NCAA's. Well, first Indy. But this has to help Michigan's confidence. They got the road win monkey off their back. The team is growing up. Also think it was brilliant to sit Sims long enough to keep him 100%, strength wise, and out of foul trouble. This game can only help recruiting. Every HS kid wants to be in the tourney. Four key factors: 1) The three is dropping, 2) FT% is up, 3) hold onto the ball, and 4) Games are called reasonably fairly (i.e., the refs cut out the hacking in the paint,) then Michigan can compete against most any team out there. And for future years, if we add one star big man, along with the role players Beilein regularly recruits, we'll go far often. I don't know how the bracketologists seed Michigan, but if we begin play in a region with no No. 1 seeds, we could potentially win two games and make it to the sweet 16. I can't see winning a third game in the tourney, however.
