Itis a shame we have to think back 30 damn years to think of a team that resembles this Michigan team even with our 2012 Ship. !996 may be the last team we have had that could compete with this Michigan team. They are elite and if they shoot like they have today, no-one is beating them. TN is actually a decent defensive team and they are scoring at will. Very impressive!
The 2012 team would wax this Michigan team. Even with Cal coaching them.

Yaxel is in his SIXTH season of collegiate basketball?! Lmfao he better be dominant. He’s been playing college ball since Covid! Back when we had that 9-16 season. WOW! What a joke!

EDIT: How is this possible?! I thought you could only play two years of JUCO?! Then two years of D1?! What am I missing here?!

One half of this slobber fest is about all I can stand. Raftery and Grant Hill both having orgasms when the precious twins score. I want to watch one of them lose but I want both too, and only one can today. I think Michigan or Arizona can beat either of these teams.

I typically don't watch the tournament when we lose, because I always have the expectation that we should still be playing. EXCEPT this year.... where I knew we had no chance to be playing. And I'm still watching.

And it makes me sick to my stomach that we're not even close to be competing at this level as a program and have no hope or expectation for the upcoming seasons to be promising and competing for a National Championship either. It's pretty disgusting.

Wanted Duke to lose but the 2nd best scenario is UCON getting blasted and embarrassed and Hurley leavig for the NBA sooner than later.
That’s the spirit man. It’s the only reason I have to side with Duke right now because eff that arrogant prick.

I dunno. It’s gonna be a slug fest. I have Arizona and Duke in the final. And it is a literal coin flip. Bad thing is Zona has to get through Michigan. And that’s not a guarantee.
I agree it will be a good game. I’m not 100 percent confident in my Zona over Michigan pick, either. Three elite teams but I’m still rolling with the red wildcats
