Bid Muppets
Filed under:
That locks up an NCAA bid no one saw coming, and possibly the title for most over-achieving Michigan team in a long, long time (seriously, does anyone know what the last Michigan team like this was?). Muppets:
Because you can't have one without the other.
I think they were in either way but it would have been harrowing on Selection Sunday; now they've probably played themselves out of Dayton. I have no idea how. Does anyone know how that happened?

A-fucking-men. I know that Morris has to be the team MVP, but IMHO the missing ingredient from all of Beilein's recruits was somebody who was reliably deadly from the outside, esp. at crunch time. He's got that man now in THJ.

I'm beginning to believe that Bruce Weber can do less with more than just about any other coach in the Big Ten (although in a year or so, Tom Crean may be eligible for that title).
But hey, sucks to be them!
I wonder if Karma realizes that its message for OSU wasn't delivered successfully today? (It was close, though. Good job by the 'Cats to make a game out of it at the end.)

Incredible finish. I'm shocked this team pulled this off, but thrilled!
1998 hockey was something like this. After all those guys graduated in '97, I would have been happy to make the tournament and they won the whole thing. But this is better. I looked at the schedule at the beginning of the season and thought 12 wins was the ceiling. Hurray to being way wrong.

i predicted 5 BIG wins and was keeping my fingers crossed for a NIT bid. Wow, what an unbelievable surprise. these 3* frosh and sophs are playing like 4-5* jrs and srs. incredible that they don't fold down the stretch of games, like the illini seniors did today.

Over achieving? I would say hockey last year overachieved, given their expectations going into March. Maybe it was an underachieving team regressing to the mean after a bad season, but still. Did anyone expect them to actually win the CCHA?

Last team like this? Gotta go first year of the Fab FIve. Obviously they were way more talented, but they overachieved far beyond what anyone expected of them.

The Sporting News Preseason Mag that sits on my coffee table picked them last in the Big 10.
Now, they are, without dispute, a top-4 team in the Big 10. And, State Champs. And, back where this program belongs, in the NCAA Tournament.
No, there hasnt been a more overachieving UM Hoops team than this. But, it's also a pretty good team. They'll be dangerous tomorrow. And next weekend.

Sooooooo,

now that we are in do we root for our bubble brothers - PSU and MSU - in the hopes of upping our RPI and getting a better seed, or are we still competing with them for those better seeds? (Not likely PSU so much, but MSU?)

I don't think it will really matter. Probably the only way that the seed will improve is by winning more games.
So, I'll root for PSU to beat Wisconsin AND Purdue, so that Michigan can beat them a 3rd time for the Big Ten title.

I don't know how much difference it would make
I don't know how much difference it would make
A MSU win would improve two wins and drop one loss a touch ... but would mean rooting for Michigan State, when the opportunity to enrage the fanbase in East Lansing and perhaps trick them into doing something massively stupid may prevent itself. (I would hope the AD wouldn't think about firing Izzo if Purdue crushes MSU again, but then dumber things have happened.)
Penn State has a long way to go to get in and wouldn't likely affect Michigan's seed, so it's probably safe to root for them. (Plus you don't really want to root for Vince McMahon, do you?)
