Michigan is officially the last B1G team standing
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:46 PM ^
We have been carrying the banner for this conference for nine seasons. It would be nice if someone would give us a hand. Go blue!
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:55 PM ^
No Michigan doesn’t. I’d be cool with Michigan becoming the basketball version of OSU/Clemson during football season.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
PETE!!!! Good job of rooting lad!!!
Hey remember when in 2017 bowl season we were the only B1G team to lose a game we were leading by a couple of TD'S?
Well take that conference brethren and suck it!!!
This is the 2nd time in 3 years we've beaten a really athletic SEC squad on my birthday, thank you M basketball program!!!
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
Happy bday Mick! Let me guess, San Diego gave you perfect weather on your birthday? Having a birthday in March over the last nine years basically means you have a big blue smile on your face all month long.
March 23rd, 2021 at 12:26 AM ^
Thanks Pete, you're a cool dude.
Been here 30 years so I've had great weather on my Birthday for ...30 years!
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:43 PM ^
Happy Birthday Mick!
And yes, I too am grateful for how much joy Michigan Basketball has brought me.
March 23rd, 2021 at 12:40 AM ^
Thanks Frank! Go Blue buddy!
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:52 PM ^
The great news is WE will have the super athletic guys starting next season. And they will be well coached.
March 23rd, 2021 at 12:43 AM ^
Indeed, I think we have a pretty athletic team now though, it's not like we're a bunch of scrubs.
Best kind of birthday present right there for us older dudes. Happy B-Day!
Thanks Taco!!!
Happy birthday, Mick!
Thanks Don! Go Blue, what a game!
Why does Michigan need a hand? OSU certainly doesn’t need one during football season. I think they are perfectly content to carry the banner for the rest of the conference in football.
Michigan is only responsible for itself. Fuck the rest of the conference. Let them worry about themselves.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:47 PM ^
Most tournament wins since 2013! GO BLUE GO BLUE
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:54 PM ^
You must be forgetting about staee and their amazing coach - tiny tom izziot!! They even renamed the month of March after him!!!
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:56 PM ^
Shame Staee didn't make the tourney this year.
Yep. I've heard these arguments that they made it in. No, they did not. It's called a play in game. Win and you're in. Lose and you are not. UCLA is in. MSU is not. Their streak is over.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:52 PM ^
It's official: The Big Ten was way overrated. So be it. We need to play like hungry underdogs with something to prove the rest of the tournament.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:56 PM ^
Maybe, but I don't give a damn about the rest of the B1G, just want us to focus and....
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:36 PM ^
The rest of the Big Ten can kiss my bright shiny maize & blue ass.

I don't agree... I look at it as the entire conference got together and decided they'd provide three months of tune up games to help Michigan get to the Sweet Sixteen.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:55 PM ^
Whatever. I'm a Michigan fan, not a Big Ten fan. My masters is from UM, not the B1G. If anything, I'm pleased about this because fuck the rest of them.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:44 PM ^
Amen.
This shouldn't even be up for debate. The SEC-tribalism stuff is really gaining traction and it's gross.

Wait, no “Mr. March??” How can that be.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:55 PM ^
I generally root for the B10 but find this hilarious. Mostly for the Illinois crowd.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:55 PM ^
Yes but how will this affect our tourney seeding next year and the year after that?
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
Ours? Not much because we have a damn fine program. The rest of the Bigten? It may affect their seeding.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
I'm starting to wonder how this will affect the ladies team as well. Also the wrestling team. And the water polo team.
Maybe Michigan will lose its status as one of the top academic institutions in the country because of this? Such a shame....
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
Gonzaga seems to do ok

"Help me Coach Juwan and Chaundee. You're my only hope."
-B1G
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:57 PM ^
Clearly the rest of the B1G this season is
A BUNCH OF LOSERS!
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
We lost it Illinois and O$U, that can’t be good. Very sad about the big ten. The SEC is going to McDonald bag basketball as they did football and no one will care. Thank you NCAA. Way to ruin the people you were empowered to protect.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:04 PM ^
Uh... Jack? Are you ok?
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:40 PM ^
something something work & no play, He'll be fine.
I think he said he was headed down to the bar for a quick drink with some guy named Boyd, Floyd?
Yeah, the LSU boosters got tired of just paying for football, it seems.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
Did y’all know that there is only one Bigten team left in the tournament? I’m ecstatic it’s us but damn I’m tired of hearing it before a game, during a game, halftime and post game about x teams left in the tournament from the Bigten.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:15 PM ^
They can talk about it all day long since we're still standing. It also puts those msu wannabe illini in their place. Second place.
March 23rd, 2021 at 12:06 AM ^
I think it's great. Free advertising for our program, because everyone knows who that one team is.
March 22nd, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
Guess we gotta carry the load for the pride of the BIG...
March 23rd, 2021 at 12:38 AM ^
Missed opportunity to throw shade at msu by replacing the sparty possum with Maryland (which is still missing, but you know they say about the first 4 or whatever it's called)

The B1G didn't show up or are the experts wrong about the B1G?
I'm not a Michigan and a B1G fan. Only a Michigan fan. OSU not winning a game and MSU not winning the first four is awesome! Would not have rooted for any other team if they made it to the FF or Championship game.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:04 PM ^
Not that Juwan seems to need any help, but this season is definitely something nice to point to if we are recruiting against any other big ten schools.
March 22nd, 2021 at 11:01 PM ^
Iowa and Maryland were embarrassing today but Michigan won a great game tonight against a good motivated team. FSU will be super tough and Alabama is really good right now. Gonzaga in the upper bracket has played NOBODY at this point and hopefully Oregon can beat them but the Ducks are really small.
