Elite 8 is the ceiling for this team. Guard play is not good enough

This has been a great regular season, the best we have ever seen. Kudos. But let's face it, this team's ceiling is the Elite 8. Guard play is not good enough and lacks depth. Elite 8 would be an accomplishment. Final four is not happening. Historically you cannot win the whole thing without great guard play and Michigan just does not have it.

You probably should've kept these thoughts to yourself, my man. GO BLUE!

I kind of understand being skeptical we can run through the entire tournament to the finals with this guard play, but elite 8 as the ceiling is wild.

Then we wouldn’t be 28-2. Sorry this is happening to you 😂

What was the ceiling of 2023 FAU as an 8 seed?

Uh… the ceiling is the natty. Michigan is capable of beating any team on any given night. While it is possible to lose games from poor guard play, that’s quite a hot take to say their ceiling is the Elite 8.

We also don't even need elite Elliott to get to the elite 8. We prob need great/elite Elliott to win the whole thing in those later games, but this team is deep and frontcourt is going to give so many teams fits in the tournament.

What teams in your opinion have a higher ceiling than the elite 8? I assume you’ve seen some to definitively conclude that UM isn’t among them.

Michigan is currently tied for the best odds to win the championship, and is favored to make it to the final 4. So Vegas disagrees at least.

But he's not trolling his own fanbase. He's trolling Michigan fans.
