WBB is IN the NCAA Tournament for the 2nd straight year
The bracket strangely leaked on ESPNU. Wonder if someone is gonna lose their job in the graphics department because now there's no reason to watch the 7pm selection show.
The NCAA officially posted the bracket on their site once it leaked.
Michigan (21-11) is an 8 seed and will face 9 Kansas State in the NCAA Albany Regional First Round in Louisville, KY. That game will take place on Friday at 2:30pm.
This is just the program's 8th all-time NCAA Tournament bid and the 3rd under head coach Kim Barnes Arico. We went to the tournament her first year but went to the WNIT every year from 2014-2017 including the program's first-ever championship banner in the 2017 WNIT.
Since then Michigan has been to nothing but NCAA Tournaments. Congratulations to the team and the seniors. This is no small feat with our history. Only the 3rd instance in history that we've made back-to-back trips to the big dance.
Michigan is an 8 seed for the 4th time ever. The Wolverines are 2-1 against 9 seeds, having won the last two meetings with one with the last being in 2013 over Villanova.
Great news!
Looks like State drew CMU for their opener. Fire Up Chips!
Should beat Kansas St. we have better wins than them. They swept Texas and that’s pretty much it. Not that we have the best resume but I believe we have more quality wins. But it’s gonna be two and done at best for us. Louisville is very tough. Gotta get off the 8-9 line to have a realistic chance at getting to a Sweet 16.
Wasn't someone posting on here not long ago about wanting the coach fired?
Yeah, KBA said in an interview that she really didn't have the motivation to coach the team well until she saw that MGoBlog OP. So thanks to whoever posted that.

Because the case of the pronoun is determined by the role it has in its own clause--it's the subject of the verb "posted."

I don't know what that means, but it sounds like you do. So I'm assuming you're right.
Came here to post this also. This board is sure a cesspool sometimes.
I hope that one day, someone is able to compile the cesspool threads into something which we can all look back on and.....I don't think laugh is the right word.....hmmm.....be ashamed of perhaps. Of course, even shaming such things hasn't worked here.
Go blue!
This should be their 3rd NCAA in a row—they were completely screwed by the selection committee the year they won the NIT.

Like the year the men won it under Amaker. Now this year you have 8-12 in the big ten OSU making it.
Big ten is much better today then before. Not to mention they only took 65 teams to the ncaa back then. Now they take 68
I’m happy they made it but isn’t it better for them to make the NIT instead? At least they have a realistic shot at winning the whole thing. In the NCAA tourney they have zero chance at the sweet 16. The program needs to take the next step now and shoot for a 3-6 seed on a consistent basis. A big ten title would go a long way as well. I think they are very close
FIRE KBA....am I doing this right?
