VOTE: Is Michigan now the favorite to make it to the National Title Game?

[Franisdaman]

Michigan would be guaranteed to be the better seed of any remaining future opponent up until the National Title game.

Crazy!!!

Check out the 8 teams that follow, where one will be playing for the National Championship. Who would have thought?

SOUTH

9 Kansas State vs
5 Kentucky

11 Loyola Chicago vs
7 Nevada

WEST

9 Florida State vs
4 Gonzaga

3 Michigan vs
7 Texas A&M

they'll probably lose to zags or cats imneo

I have Mich losing to Gon in my bracket. We’ll see what happens. Gon hasn’t impressed me as much as I thought they would so far though.

Could Michigan have asked for a better path to the National Title game? Damn! LOL

2018: the year everybody sucked

 

[CanadaHawk]

Texas A&M was impressive vs UNC.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

I'd like to see ANYONE but kensucky make it out of that bunch.
Thus, they are a virtual lock for the finals.

 

[CanadaHawk]

At this point, a betting man would say:
Kentucky
Michigan
Villanova
Duke

With the winner of Villanova/Duke winning it all.

I like MI but think their FT shooting might do them in even before the FF.

I’m hoping KSU can take care of Kentucky but (especially in the much closer Georgia) wouldn’t bet on it.

Texas A&M was impressive vs UNC.

This. UNC looked poor, but A&M was freakish for the 10 game minutes I saw. Length, height, speed, etc....those boys had it all, at least that day.

Agree. MI is the highest seed left in that region. That and being the most solid B1G rep left makes me want them to get to the FF. But if A&M plays like they did vs UNC... I think MI will hang with them but will have to hit their FTs.

A lot of people. They are the back to back BIG Champs, have been to four sweet sixteens in the last six years...if they win tomorrow, three elite 8s in six years. They are a powerhouse program. Not sure where you’ve been the last six seasons. Beilein is a special coach who has built a special program.

Hater.

 

[mtdew_fever]

Kentucky has the easiest path. K-State might have had a chance, but their top/only post player hasnt played yet in the tournament and will only play spot minutes if he plays at all.

FSU vs Michigan will be a fun game to watch. Athletes.

Crazy how 56% of us (me included) had Kentucky making the National title game!

The 2nd place vote getter? Michigan, with 16% of the vote.

This tournament has been crazy

 

[FormerlyCyberCy]

Your poll was spot on. They played a 14 seed, a 6, 7, 9, and 11.

crazy that they did not play a 1 or 2 seed until game #6, the title game

but i feared Nova would beat them rather easily because when you have 6 guys who shoot 40% or better from 3 (which Nova did), its hard to have an "off night" as a team

Nova’s 6th man was the difference Monday.

that's crazy that any of their 6 could go off on any given night. i am surprised they lost a game this year. they definitely showed/proved they are the nation's best team. no fluke about it.
