We lost. To a great team. With our best players in foul trouble. With several suspect calls (no excuses).

What a season. From being irrelevant for 2 decades to taking Louisville to the last minutes. Absolutely amazing season.

I love this team and will be wearing my Michigan gea proudly tomorrow. Go blue.

No regrets. They played great and lost to a better team. Disappointed? You bet, but not in them. We were right there.

We'll always have the shot. And the ride. I'm glad I got to watch it.

Boys gave a valiant effort but ran out of gas

Team is largely sophomores and freshmen and very young

To do what they did was aamazing, and if everyone comes back, they should have similar success next year. I hope they all come back. I hope Burke comes back, and we make the Big Ten our bitch

What a tournament run. We

What a tournament run. We thought this team was overrated when they started the season ranked #3. We watched them roll to 20-1, then the reality check. On the road at OSU. Clobbered at MSU. Stupid Wisconsin. Then Penn State. Hours of agony waiting for Morgan's shot to choose a side of the rim against Indiana. We thought this team might struggle to get to the Sweet Sixteen after the rough end to the season. Then the magic started. Mitch being Mitch. Killing Havoc. The Shot. 6-for-6. Dissecting the 2-3. Even Spike going off. We fans got waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more than we could have expected out of this tourney run - I'm so grateful for the experience.

Fantastic Game. Awesome Season.

I don't think I've ever felt more proud to be a Michigan Wolverine than I am now after this loss.  Yup, you heard it right.  This Michigan team played awesome, even in this title game.  They ran into the number 1 seed in the whole tournament and almost pulled it out.  The back and forth was great.  The refs really were ok, missing some calls on both sides, and the better team simply won.  But this Michigan team made a tourney run none of us expected and gave us joy after joy.  Hats off to Louisville for a great game.  It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.

Proudest of a team that I've rooted for ever. Trey Burke is a goddamned warrior. I'm going to miss that man. I just don't have any words to say about this team. I was 3 when Michigan won the MNC in 97 and this is the first championship taste I've had in basketball since the Pistons in 2004. I just don't have anything to say about this team, it's been a wild ride, going to miss Trey, and whoever else goes. Such an unselfish team, and a fun team to watch.

It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine

No shame in the way the season ended.  A little bitter about the reffing, or a lot bitter about the reffing, but the lads played their tails off from start to finish.  Most fans aren't lucky enough to get to watch their team play in the national title game, and this team is proof that it's possible to do so and still run a clean program with great guys who see their school as more than an NBA development academy.

Great game

Great game and a great season. The guys played really well tonight on the biggest stage of all and lost to the best team in the country. There is no shame in losing when you give it your best. I hope everyone on the coaching staff, trainers and especially the players know how much their hard work and dedication means to us all. Go Blue!

Nothing but pride. We went

Nothing but pride.

We went eyeball to eyeball with the vaunted top 1-seed and came up just short.

This after being the fifth-place team in the Big Ten and going out early in the Big Ten Tournament.  

This after Beilein never wining more than one NCAA Tournament game and never winning more than one Big Ten Tournament game.

This after being on the edge of elimination in the Sweet Sixteen.

Normally I don't wear my Michigan attire after a loss.  Don't want to draw attention to the fact that we lost and answer 20 questions about it.  Not this time.  I'll wear my Michigan stuff with as much pride as if we had won.

I've got my Michigan tie on right now. Even though they lost, I am proud of the way the basketball team represented my alma mater last night and all season.

8 accidental posts? Michigan might not have won the National Championship in basketball, but I think I just won it in reposts...

MAD props to Spike 

while Burke was shooting those freethrows  all I could think about was that "road to ann arbor" home video that was posted with him talking about a National Championship

 

GO BLUE and stay classy fans

Also kinda a weird game with all the tie ups and fast breaks

Never been so proud of this team.

Actually thought they played better tonight in many ways than against Florida.  What a ride this season has been.  Yes, there is such a thing as a noble defeat, and this was it.  Phenomenal effort against a great opponent playing at an incredibly high level and getting the lion's share of breaks.  

Great representation of Michigan.  

Go Blue

...and whiskey if we lost, But then I said "fuck it, I am proud of this team!" and popped the cork. They are everything to our University and I wish Trey a bright future in the NBA, while foreseeing a bright future for Michigan Basketball. Oh, and way to go, Spike!!

Hold your heads up and celebrate, as it has been said here before, "Sports!"

I'm so fucking proud of my alma mater's basketball team. They fought like hell and came up a little short. What an amazing team. Hats off to Louisville, they had a great team and they were very classy all weekend.

Hail, Hail to Michigan the Champions of the West.

Will remember this team for ages, I really will....Unless we happen to go to Final Fours for 20 years straight with amazing teams year after year, but yeah, no. This team was fun and seemed like a hell of a bunch of kids playing an exctiting sport together....and I'll always remember these guys for what they did.

Until the alzheimers kicks in I guess (way down the road)...

This season has been a dream.

This season has been a dream. From tying the most wins in program history at 31 to going to the Final Four. Absolute success and this team should overshadow the Fab Five. They did this as a TEAM. From Burke to Bartelstein and Hardaway to LeVert. Everyone played a huge role in the success. This team is loaded and can very well have a great season next year like this! Thank you seniors.

All heart, no shame

I was so glad to be more than pleasantly surprised at how deep in the tournament this team went. They played the #1 seed as tough or tougher than any other team did and just came up short. Very proud of the boys in Blue tonight.

Tonight would have been gravy, Coach Beline and this team ARE built the right way.

This thread is so much more level-headed than the "bitch about the refs" thread. I hope a big group of Michigan fans is there to meet the team when they get back to Ann Arbor.

In October

I thought those of us predicting a F4 run were crazy. That has made the past 2 weekends that much more fun.



All else aside, Louisville made shots ( many of them very difficult) down the stretch. They will feel like they made the plays to win, and they are right. The 'youngest team in the NCAA ' will have the opportunity to learn from this and make more plays in the future.

Thank You Michigan Men

for all your hard work and for achieving beyond the country's (not your) expectations.  You played with heart and desire and deserved to come home with a title.  We share your disappointment and will always be behind you.

Thank you for pouring your hearts out on the floor and for representing your university with class and in the best tradition of our great school.  You have everything to be proud of.

To you men going to the NBA - we wish you good fortune and future success.  To you men returning to the fold for next year, you have all the tools, there is no reason to not expect to be back in the running next year.

Go Blue!

Thank you

 

Thank you to each of the guys on this team: whether you were the Player of the Year or the last guy on the bench, I know each guy had a role on this team and each played that role spectacularly. 

I kept my subscription to the B1G Network specifically to watch this team, and it’s what I looked forward to each week. This last year has been a really shitty year in my life, but knowing that I got to watch this team play a couple times a week kept me going.

To even get that far in the tournament in commendable, but to do so with class makes me proud. I remember shooting around when I was five on my Michigan Wolverines backboard in our Grand Rapids garage in 1990. I have loved Michigan ever since, and this has been my favorite Michigan team follow.

So thank you, every single one of you, who made this season possible. Special seasons like these don’t come around every year, but you all made this one so enjoyable from a fan perspective. I can only imagine the memories all of you on the team will carry on from this season. Go Blue.

Went to the game last night with my son.

Once in a lifetime experience; glad I was there. One, maybe two guys from this time will not be back. The others will have one more year of experience. One more year under Beilein. Looking forward to it!

This Morning...

This morning, I am wearing one of my last clean Michigan polos, and no less proudly than I wore one yesterday.

After the game ended last night, I thought back to threads about a month ago, coming off our exit from the Big Ten Tournament and I remember being among the chorus of voices that said that either a Sweet Sixteen or an Elite Eight appearance would be part of "success" this year. I am happy to say that popular expectations for this run were shattered in a most excellent way, even if we did not win it all in the end.

This was one of the most enjoyable seasons of Michigan hoops in my admittedly young-ish memory, and thanks should go out to everyone from John Beilein on down through his assistants, the players and the support staff as they all share in and are essential to this team's success this year and hopefully moving forward. This team played as a unit, they appreciated each others' roles and strengths, and it showed in their performance throughout the year.

I think it is definitely a successful year, and from how things look, potentially the first of several. Right now, Michigan basketball is in a very good place and in extremely capable hands on and off the court.

Stings, stings bad

missed free throws, questionable calls but this team left everything they had on the court and thats all we can ask for.  Louisville is really good and Payton Siva is ridiculous with some shots he was making, tip of the cap to them.

 

This was  great team to watch and represented Michigan better than we all expected.  Like someone said above we are in good hands with Coach B. 

 

Hail

 

Go Blue
