7 seed Michigan vs. 10 seed Oklahoma State

[K OKeefe]

What a "barn burner." Michigan just shot lights out from 3 in second half to remain one of the hottest teams in the country. Michigan ended up outlasting Okie State 92-91. It certainly was a very entertaining game.

Indeed, great game. Michigan has won something like 10 or 11 of their last 12 and their only losses are a last second heave by Northwestern and an overtime loss in Mpls.

One of those matchups that should have happened in the sweet 16 or later, thanks to the committee's borked seeding.

It was one of those games that I am just glad I was able to watch.

See, that's the way I like to see basketball played. I didn't get to see the whole game, but the parts I did were incredibly enjoyable to watch.

We need more of that, not just in the tourney, but all of the time.

Michigan is pretty hot right now and statistically, they have a lot of players that can shoot the 3ball effectively. They should do the best of the B1G teams. I don't think Wisconsin is that good and NW was lucky to get past Vanderbilt.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Belein is probably the best coach in the Big, for my money. Hoping MI and Purdue can make the Sweet 16 to save some of the Big's credibility.

Maybe they will pull a uconn who was barely in like Michigan before the BTT win the BTT.
And shock the world by winning it all I know it's a longshot but so was uconn. But Uconn had Kemba who just was amazing, Michigan needs a player to go off like Kemba.

End this stupid drought the B10 has had which is just bad luck with how many B10 teams have made the final four/Championshb game since winning it 18 years ago.

Michigan shot 11-15 from beyond the arc in the second half, had only four turnovers the entire game....and won by a point. Wowser.

Okie State, meanwhile, hasn't won an NCAA game in 8 years. That's a pretty amazing stat for a program that's been as consistently decent as the Pokes.

 

[Underscore2]

No way Okkie State should have been a 10 seed. I call major bs on that. Should have been higher.

 

[DewHawk]

Walton is playing very very well the last half of season.

I thought the NCAA had zero B1G teams in top 16 seeds--so two in sweet16 would vastly exceed NCAA expectations. I have Michigan getting to Final-4 in my brackets, so that will probably doom them to lose vs Louisville.

Iowa's win over Michigan is looking better. We beat ISU, Purdue, Wisconsin that all have wins in NCAA tourney. If not for Indiana shooting lights out, we might have been in NCAA. We would have done better than Maryland.

Been going around a lot this year.

Both teams in the MN game should have been around an 8 or 9, not 5/12. Wisky should have been higher, maybe a 5-6. A few others should have been lower.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I wonder if the players and coaches had a "moment" on that plane.

Purdue is supposed to make the Sweet Sixteen. Iowa State is not. So they probably don't need to play the game

agreed they should give PU some extra reset
