Mock Bracket: Michigan Gets a Six
I watched this evening a moving video of an Italian opera singer doing Puccini (the aria from Turandot) under quarantine. This ain't that. But it is a cultural contribution none the less. In this version of reality, I think Michigan gets by Seton Hall to set up on helluva rematch with Florida State in the Elite 8. Kudos to the coaches for pushing to get this done.

Can’t help but think this was the year the B1G got it done. Between Maryland, Michigan, State, Ohio, Penn St, Wisconsin, and iowa, I feel like atleast 2 of them would have made the elite 8 and they are all battle tested. I could easily see Michigan state or Maryland getting hot and winning it all.
Also Illinois
'Zags too. I felt like this was their year. Speaking as a local dude, this was also the West Coast Conference's year. A healthy BYU is badass, and the local boys (St. Mary's) beat them in the WCC tournament.
Interesting, because I was thinking this was a year where the Big Ten gets a huge number of teams into the Sweet 16 but no one in the Final Four. Not sure anyone in the Big Ten could've won it all
Basketball feels like months ago.I haven’t given it any thought since Wednesday. It doesn’t even feel like we are living on the same planet as we were last week. So much has changed so quickly. I’d normally be filling out brackets around this time. It was a fun season, and I’m looking forward to when sports may return. It’s easy to take for granted, and now it is gone. God Bless.
