Since our team shit their pants, shit the bed, clogged a toilet and flooded an entire house with shit yesterday, here's this.

Rooting guide today:

11:30 Illinois vs Indiana

12:00 Davidson vs Fordham

12:00 Auburn vs Texas A&M

12:30 North Texas vs La Tech

1:00 Houston vs Cincinnat

2:00 Iowa vs Rutgers

5:00 Akron vs Toledo (if Rutgers loses close)

6:00 Umass vs Dayton

7:00 Duke vs Miami

7:00 Tulsa vs SMU

8:30 Richmond vs VCU

8:30 Kentucky vs Vanderbilt

9:00 Arizona vs Colorado

9:00 Memphis vs UCF

9:30 Boise State vs Wyoming

9:30 UNC vs Va Tech

9:30 Texas Tech vs Oklahoma

That?s mostly everything. There may be a few conference games left out where we want to generally root for the higher seed to prevent bid thieves. With that said some of these are a lot more important than others.

Illinois, Iowa, UNC, Richmond, Tulsa, and Texas Tech winning would be the most important results today.

Illinois loses and A&M is pounding Auburn. Auburn is 14/54 shooting today. Not a good start to the day for Michigan's tourney chances.
 
Houston was down 39-30 and are now winning by 13 with a minute left.

According to some we are already in the last four byes not the last four in. All Indiana does is flip us from maybe not in to having to play in the darn play in game I think.

So frustrating we let Hated Indiana off the hook. I hate them as much as Wisconsin. First time since 2003 I think I heard they made it to the semifinals.
 
Now Lunardi said the only to spots in play are the last two held by Xavier and wake forest. So that?s a good sound bit for Michigan fans. Still need those losses to happen to be comfortable.

CBS sports Jerry Palm on the Huge radio show said we were out and probably Rutgers too. He was pretty emphatic that the committee just doesn?t use net rankings and Michigan record is just not good enough. Let?s hope the other guys are right and he is wrong.

All this because Howard couldn?t coach his team to a win up 17 with 12 minutes left. So frustrating.

Far more to do with the players than any of our coaches. We saw the quotes before the last OSU game. These guys put it on cruise control too often. Martelli made it pretty clear they've been trying to get through to the guys all year. Sometimes no matter how hard the coaches try, it just doesn't matter.

Palm is a dumb shit. There's a reason his predictions are rated #100 out of 135 on Bracket Matrix. He's one of the most unreliable people to listen to..

Kentucky 77 Vandy 71 final.

Coach for Vandy was not happy in the second half. He got T?d up early in the half.

Hey, wow, I?m flattered you?re asking me.

Our Wolverines24 who started this thread seems to be the guy in the know.

I?m so disgusted by the last collapse I can?t even pay attention. If our guys get in I?ll watch every game they play - sadly I don?t expect there will that many.

If they don?t get in the season is over.

After the last loss thinking about Michigan basketball - or college basketball at all - makes me sad.

I?m not talkin? my dog died sad; just, ya know, I wanna - and can - think of something else sad.

Sorry about the dog. Was asking the other T who started the thread.
