It’s hard imagine Michigan losing but it is UConn …

Reed has been such a catalyst but I think Michigan has the size to bother him more than other teams this run.

From everyone’s lips to…..

My advice- don’t hold your breath. It really doesn’t seem to matter if UM is “better” or “should win”.

Illinois was the tallest team in college basketball this year. FYI.

Right. I think Mara Lendeborg and the other big all have different looks. Will be interesting to watch.

I'm looking forward to hearing how UConn was "lucky" to draw Michigan in this game.

It's just hard to believe that UConn is on the verge of it's 5th title since the 6OT game. The 2014 one with Shabazz Napier as a 7 seed is the one that annoys me the most -- especially since we started 25-0 that season. Can't argue with any of the rest.

1999, 2004 and 2024 were genuinely great teams. 2023 and 2011 were very good. 2014 eh.

If Landeborg was healthy I think Michigan wins by 10-15 points, but hard to see what he can give outside of catch and shoot jumpers after Saturday.

2011 was ok. They didn't exactly face a murderers row of teams. 9 losses in the regular season Big East. That one was pretty much all Kemba Walker.

I hope Michigan wins and Hurley has another embarrassing UConn coach’s moment on the national stage.

7.5 is a lottttt against uconn. Someone posted Hurley 18-1 in last 19 tourney games ATS. Nuts

Yeahhhh no way 7.5. Would be absolutely shocking. Would be awesome if it was accurate though.

Call me traumatized but expect this one to be like a 11-4 UConn start and then a rock fight to the end.

And guess who wins? Lol

Kemba and the 29% shooting percentage of that juggernaut Butler team.

You can get 27-1 that UConn never trails , but only 5-1 that Michigan never trails.

There’s a reason. Michigan is the highest rated team ever in KenPom and just made a 35 win team look below average.

They’re damn good. Best of 7, no doubt. Single elimination? Expect something absolutely ridiculous tonight.

Maybe their backup C drops a couple treys like Spike Albrecht.

 

[rocklloyd]

Why don’t 7 footers dunk over everyone all the time?
