Michigan To Face Tulsa In NCAA Tournament Play-In Game
An official Internet Hero by the name of Sarcastic Prick leaked the news partway through CBS's interminable selection show, but we waited until it was officially official: Michigan will face Tulsa on Wednesday in Dayton in an East region 11-seed play-in game; the winner will play six-seed Notre Dame in Brooklyn on Friday.
Wednesday's game will tip off at around 9:10 pm on TruTV. Friday's game, should Michigan make it, is set for a 9:40-ish start on CBS.
The full bracket [click to embiggen]:
Tulsa, a surprise inclusion in the field, is two spots below Michigan on KenPom at #58. The Golden Hurricane have two common opponents with the Wolverines: they split their season series against both UConn and SMU, two teams that defeated Michigan in non-conference play.
If Michigan advances into the field of 64, they'll take on an exaggerated version of themselves. Notre Dame boasts the tenth-most efficient offense in the country according to KenPom—and the #172 defense.
Much more coverage coming this week, obviously.
Unfortunately, the reply value of the Chatman shot is what got us in.
Why is that unfortunate?
Making a joke on how the final production of One Shining Moment is most important to them.
i don't get all the bitching behind sparty as a #2. the committee did them and UVA a favor. they put UVA as #1 so they could play in raleigh and msu in st louis. if both win, they end up in chicago. that's best for both teams.
it certainly wouldn't be better for sparty to be #1 in the east or west.
imagine if we win a couple games
must be this $159 chromebook. get one. GO BLUE!!!
Leave it to the NCAA to launch an investigation immediately when something might cost them, or their media partners money. But drag their heels when it comes to enforcing their own rules on certian schools.

One of their all time greats in basketball from the not so distant 90's?
Lou Dawkins (Saginaw) played there as well. He coached the guy that plays in the Bay area that has aneurisms every time he sees a Michigan T-shirt.
What's really funny about that exchange is that his foundation partners with Lamar Woodley's foundation and co-runs an Saginaw based AAU basketball club with him. So I'm pretty sure he sees Michigan shirts alot.

Goosebumps from that shot... shades of "it's too strong...three point game. Burke brings it down...five seconds...fires for three AND THE GAME IS TIED!"
