Beat ohio
We're going to the B1G title game to play staee, I can feel it in my tiny little heart.
Final Four run from there.

As was discussed yesterday, every single time we've had to face OSU in the Big Ten Tournament, we've lost - twice in the semifinals and in the quarterfinals in every other case. Hopefully, the trend reverses today. That being said, we're now down to eight possible outcomes in the BTT and we're still a slight favorite with an estimated 29.25% chance to win it all (Ohio State, interestingly, is the least favored - 17.77% estimated chance to win).
2-seed is a lock but it'd be nice to be in the Midwest not in Arizona's bracket. It'd also be nice not to go 0-7 vs OSU in the BTT.
Since 1979, only four champions have come from lower than a three.

I'm not sure seeds really matter, especially since the tournament isn't reseeded so by the second week the advantage has often evaporated.
Beat Ohio! I'm in Fort Wayne right now.
clap, clap,...clap-clap-clap.
beat ohio!

So many minutes until the game starts... arrrgggghhh..
Guess I'll finish GoT season 3. Though I only have 1 more episode to go... Arrrggghh....
For any GoT fans, this is pretty funny. HBO still has it unlisted on their YouTube page, so it's pretty new. TV SERIES SPOILERS THROUGH SEASON 3!!!!
Just come out of it healthy and worry about the real Tourney! It's always good to beat Ohio but doubt being a 1 versus 2 seed next week is going to matter much.
On behalf of all alumni (and Michigan fans generally) living in Ohio, for the love of God, Beat Ohio!!
Been in Indy since Thursday! I hope there are a TON of Michigan fans here today! GO BLUE and for the love of everything good in the world, BEAT OHIO!

screw them both!

I apologize if this is listed somewhere else, but does anyone have a short list of the games we could keep an eye on today that will affect our seeding?
March 15th, 2014 at 12:23 PM ^
Honestly, there aren't many. Depending upon the source you choose to believe, most projections have Michigan on the 2-line, with Arizona and Florida being locks at #1 and Wichita State already crowned MVC champion. So, you're looking for teams on the 2 and 3 lines to lose. If the final #1 seed is available, the most likely team to win it would be the ACC tourney champ, if it's Virginia or Duke, or the B1G champ, if it's Michigan or Wisconsin. So, here's your list:
Pitt vs. Virginia 1 PM
Duke vs. NC State 3 PM
Wisconsin vs. Sparty 4:05 PM
Go Blue!

Oh, I won't cheer for Sparty. I may just cheer slightly more against Bo Ryan than against Tom Izzo tonight. Besides, Izzo's got his team healthy and won't have to play weird guys, so they should be able to beat Michigan by like 150 points or something. I think they'll set records. I mean, weird guys, ya know???

good prep for the tourney, and this is not Thad Motta's Dad's Ohio squad. I know KenPom is accurate over the long haul, but I am a bit surprised this is essentially pick 'em.
