They've got that 7'3 guy who just seems to anywhere and everywhere the ball is. They shot poorly from 3 and still smoked USC. I thought Musselman did a great job early keeping it close.


Cronin should have played Mara more and kept him at UCLA.

They have a really good coach. He took Florida Atlantic to the final four. We don't.
What’s crazy is they probably should’ve lost their first round 8/9 matchup to Penny’s Memphis club with DeAndre Williams, the Evansville guy who beat us in 19.

Went from escaping against a terrible coach in the first round to a juggernaut a few years later. Things change fast

Remember how every year we tend to say things like there's no clear cut favorite or no dominant teams.

Michigan is the clear cut favorite to cut down the nets.

Right now, they would be a massive favorite (5 points) over the second rated team (most likely Arizona).

They are.....that good.

Outside of 2 games back to back vs Wake Forest which took them to OT and TCU which was just a four point win, no one has been close. Heck, they could even run the table IMO.

Outside of road games vs Michigan St, Purdue and Illinois and the neutral site game vs Duke, they are massive favorites in each of their remaining games.

Auburn was a cut above for most of last season. They came back to Earth in the latter half of the conference schedule.

With that said, Michigan has clearly established themselves as the favorite. They are assuredly going to be a 1 seed in the tournament.

If we meet up with them in the tourney, do we play a 2-big lineup most of the game? Moreno/BG at the 5 and JQ at the 4? Might we wind up their kryptonite?
