But Michigan has blown teams away — very good teams — starting in November and December. If prior performance is any indicator, Michigan should win this game by 12-20 points.

I did think Arizona was the cream of the crop.

Nobody picked UConn in our challenge.

One of the fouls on Zuby he was 75 feet from the goal. Get in front of him and make the big guy waste some dribbles or trap him trying to get a steal. It was just poorly executed. We also gave away so many possessions not being able to get the ball in. The announcers said we worked on it the day before, you just would’ve never known watching. We looked panicked and like we didn’t expect any pressure at all.

BTW Know why the golf courses in Columbia are only 14 holes??
Because they've never played the final four!!

Elmarko’s first mistake was not getting up on him and denying him the ball, then he gave him a 6 foot cushion which gave him a big headstart and made it harder not to foul. He should’ve been tightly on him from the get go. There also was no help defensively by flory or DP. We had a hat on a hat on the 3 point like we were up 2 and couldn’t give up a 3, in doing so it left the lane wide open. I’d wouldn’t be that disappointed if we lost on a lucky fade away 3 in stead of a straight line drive to the goal with very little resistance. But this was just a very poor basketball IQ defensive set all around.

F4 chance) proved to the world of basketball that it is really hard to stop a blazingly fast player driving down the court for a last second basket if you are desperately trying not to foul. Melvin's biggest contributions yesterday were proof of that principle (even tho not last second).

But seriously, with 5 min left if you had said "Would you like to be tied with 5 seconds left and St John's has the ball?" I would have said YES 1000% YES.

I want the team to play well and win and do it for themselves first and then the fans next. Seeing all the close games so far when one would think it was a cakewalk (Duke), makes me realise that our approach has to be better than what we have seen in the past. I think it will be. Positivity is the ticket! Melvin said most of the country is counting us out. Rested Melvin will be the dawg right out of the gate.

But in the 10-15 minutes I'd seen before the refs seemed to favor Kentucky a lot.

The difference for me is now I don't feel obligated (compelled) to watch. If I'm in front of a TV and the game is on -great! But if I have other plans, I'll do them and watch later. Or not watch later.

Easier to do these last few years.

And yet, we’re all still posting on this fan forum. And I ‘m guessing I may not be the only one who yelled at my tv once or twice last month. And if we were to make a deep run…
