@TheLorenaKid

 I worry a little bit about the terps because johnnies are tough

@maxwagers781

 I think Michigan has it tough out the gate

Not on SEC team? Wow.

You’re right. I have noticed a lot hate on Michigan this week. I actually like Michigan this year. With the twin towers, might have a surprise run like UConn 2 years ago. I was just thinking that UC San Diego’s last loss was before Trump took office.m, so it’s tough out there gate.  

best of luck, brother!

@maxwagers781

 Really liking Maryland.

@maxwagers781

 Coaching is a Major ?

They have the talent.

@TJZags598

 willard? 

@maxwagers781

 Yes,

Close games, especially away from home, have never been his strong suit.

Case in point:

The only guy on Michigan who can beat him, he lets beat him.

That was an X/O play that high school coaches know.

@maxwagers781

 Not with good coaches.

My circle includes some Maryland alumni. Not BB players, football guys. They are active alumni.

They tell me that Willard cant coach end game situations.

what the tell me and i confirm with my own eyes.

In January, he was on the hot seat with the alumni.

I have no skin in the game ( i did win Michigan ML ) , just my opinion. 

Michigans a tough read man. They struggle so badly with TO’s that they’re ripe for the upset early in the tournament. 

Then they string together good basketballl and can beat pretty much anybody any given night. No result would shock me - a 10 pt loss Thursday or a deep run.

I think the TO issue will ultimately do them in though. 

As far as Thursday goes if they can’t handle a game in which the Wolves have 2 very good 7 footers vs a team who’s tallest player with meaningful minutes is 6’8” then they’re obviously a complete fraud. No disrespect to UCSD but that should be an easy game plan. 

The road is manageable though especially if they got a rematch vs Sparty in the E8. Would be a lot of pressure suddenly and super tough to go 3-0 vs anybody let alone a state rival. 

Be interested to see what happens with Auburn. Recent history suggests their form entering the tourney results in a first weekend exit.
