0 for 39 and the Johnnies don’t survive the opening weekend.

@msucurt

 Prob done that 10x lol it happens. Always ok to take a few days off. Don’t chase the losses wait for the one you like… 

@msucurt

They were covering for 99.8% of the game weren’t they? Woulda been a pretty lucky MSU cover but that’s just me

Michigan

Florida

Houston

Duke

Florida over Houston

Was just going to post this. Much has been made about the 10-0 start. But pretty sure the top seed that we beat was a 10 before Michigan beat A&M…. 

I brought up a stat pre tourney about how teams not ranked in the top 25 preseason and finished top 10 in the AP earning a 1/2 seed were 0-38 in making the final 4 and only like 9 of 24 had survived the first weekend… 

St John’s and MSU were the qualifiers this year. The Johnnie’s made it 0-39 and 9 of 25. MSU might be in for a fight tonight. This is the game they just gotta survive imo.

Conference is looking overrated per usual now

@ByrdMane612

Yesterday 4-2

tournament: 9-10

1) Baylor +12.5

2) Colorado St +8.5 

B1G is 10-0 SU and 10-0 ATS…. What could go wrong Wisconsin?

@Mardyball

 Haaaaiiiill yeah!

@thehuntman

 I need it  

Blue!! Unreal job by Dusty and crew. 6 straight sweet 16’s for Michigan in their last 6 tourney appearances. 

@jesron1269

Guys that tends to happen when you don’t have any bigs & are up against 7 footers who can move. 

anyway I’ll trade 5 of your iffy calls for the 12 missed layups by Michigan if you’re interested

Add:

On Wisconsin ML 

Well Meeechigan missed about 8 layups and only down by 4 at half. 

Yeah I too will be on Wisconsin just not sure how big yet I really like them. Really can't be confident in UM they play such ugly basketball. Only thing I'm confident about is by 7:30 tonight I'll be sitting here wondering how the heck they won the game or not surprised one bit that they lost by 28. 

Add: 

Michigan +2.5

Don't really think the points matter here but i'm taking it because i found this at no juice. Michigan either wins close or gets drilled. Deciding to rock with the team whos won 11 consecutive games decided by 4 points or less. A&M is a physical crew and hit the glass. Think Michigan can hang there with the bigs. A&M doesn't shoot the 3 well nor do they defend it well. Not a great FT shooting team either. I really don't think Michigan is very good they just somehow keep ending up on the right side at the end of the game. B1G is 9-0 in the tourney and this team was the best in the conf tournament so idk maybe they're a little better than I give em credit for.

@clark17

Yes they rebound the heck out of it and run with the best of em. Still think they're going to need to shoot well from outside at some point. They've shown glimpses of it at times this season just not consistent as they're outside the top 300 in 3pt shooting. I do think the 31/1 is probably the best value on the board if im being real though just because their best is really good.

Making the final 4 would buck an insane trend when it comes to teams who started the year unranked in the AP and finished in the top 10. These teams who do so, earning a #1 or #2 seed in the tournament along the way are a combined 0 for 37 when it comes to making the final 4.

This year has two qualifiers: St. Johns and Michigan State

Only 9 (out of 24) of those 2 seeds that meet that criteria have survived the opening weekend.

Add:

Creighton +9.5, small play on the ML
