I'm not superstitious about the #1 position, I just think there are 5 teams capable of being the best team in the country on any given night. There just isn't a clear-cut dominating team this year. This is going to be one of the most exciting NCAA tournaments in a while and not just because Michigan has an incredibly realistic chance to cut down the nets (although it sure helps).

Tough call but I'm going to root for Ohio. I disllike IU just a little bit more and would love to see them get another loss and Shehee annoys me like no other player.

They have to play each other
They have to play each other
They have to play each other twice, so it's best for them to split and each get a loss.

Sort of

Just think of it as rooting for Indiana to lose. That is the best outcome to help Michigan win the Big Ten.
The Michigan Difference. Oh yea, it is real.

Do.

They have a worse conference record than IU, plus we have already split the series.

Wow. They play a game away

They've lost a game at home. They've actually lost one each (away, home, neutral). This week is a classic example why you never take anything for certain in college basketball.

If you were to tell any Michigan basketball fan at the beginning of last season that we would be having this conversation, they'd laugh at us. It's crazy to see how far they've come to toy around with the question: "We're #1 again, is that a good thing?"

This helps us in the conference race. And technically, this was Indiana's easiest remaining road game. They have to go to OSU, to Minnesota, to MSU and to Crisler. Tom Creen is going to learn that not facing a ranked team on the road until the second week of February has it's drawbacks.
We take care of business at home and hopefully steal at least one road game against MSU or Wisconsin and we're in perfect position for the B1G title. But MSU needs to lose a game or two to give us some breathing room.
Go Blue! Always!

Even then...
Even then...
I feel that the college game is truly a guard's game. Especially in the tourney. The guards can do so much more to determine the pace of a game. Like push the tempo on the break. Slow down the other team by applying an annoying press. Distribute the ball and make his teammates better. Generate his own offense off of the dribble.
Don't get me wrong. Big men are important. They get rebounds and score in the paint. Some even lead their team in scoring. But they rarely decide the game like guards do.
If IU were down by 1 with 10 sec left, who gets the ball, Oladipo or Zeller?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

That clown has been a Michigan hater since the Fab 5. You kinda lose all credibility when you ignore a team's performance and base your "rankings" on your own bizarre evaluation of a team's bigs. I hate that fucking guy. If the networks wanted to really screw with Michigan fans, they could have Bill Walton & Dick Vitale call the Michigan v. MSU game with Ted Valentine and Ed Hightower.

Might as well get used to the pressure. Michigan will probably be no worse than a 2 seed come tourney time. They got to get used to people gunning for them!

Wow. How do you let Griffey break to the basket all alone like that? There wasn't a red jersey within six feet of him. Kind of reminds me of UTL when ND simply ignored Jeremy Gallon...
Such a weird resume. Makes sense with how tough the Big Ten is, but man were they playing above their heads OOC.
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
