Obligatory "Selection Sunday" Viewing Content

Harvard was ahead of Michigan in the last NYC Buckets along with Wyoming.
Michigan has since moved up to a 6 seed.
I don't think Harvard stole a bid - the Ivy league looked like a 1-bid league anyway, and from what I've seen they were the higher at-large bid anyway. If anything, Harvard winning helps UM because Yale has a less impressive profile for the NIT.
Wyoming winning is going to take a bid, though, so that does stink.

Maybe hope is not lost for Michigan's men's basketball team to continue playing during this post-season.
I’ve seen some predictions that have Michigan getting an NIT bid tonight. In one, I see Michigan as a 6 seed playing at defending NCAA champion Connecticut (if the Huskies lose to SMU in the AAC championship game). In another, I see Michigan as a 7 seed playing at Stanford In a third, I see Michigan as a 7 seed playing at one of the four 2 seeds that include Old Dominion, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Richmond and Stanford.
The first would pit two schools that played in the last two NCAA championship games with much different squads, besides different results. The second would pit father (coach Johnny Dawkins) against son (player Aubrey Dawkins), plus adding the obligatory HARBAUGH effect. If travel distance (and NFL rivalries) were going to be a consideration in that third situation, then it might mean that the Wolverines could earn a side trip to Lambeau Field.
According to this Michigan is a 7 seed right now but it seems like they are locked for an NIT bid.
If our record makes us eligible, we are in. There was never a doubt about that. The NIT wants names.

If the NIT decides to pass on this season's Michigan team, and you're thirsting for some NIT memories, here's a chance to see when a season-ending win over Rutgers brought Michigan a championship.

Everything you say is true, but I had exactly the opposite feeling. It was a great game--a game so fun to watch that even my most Sparty-Spartans agreed. I was also so proud of that team-- a team that over-achieved. There was so much joy (and memories) in that run, including the Louisville game. I'm fine with National Championship runnerup--that was success.

and Spike remains a legend.
I often wonder what would have happened if Hancock would have missed that shot. Do we get the rebound and drive down and score?
We were very hot at that point in the game. We may have had enough momentum to put the game out of reach and make Louisville abandon their inside game early.
That shot was the play of the game, as far as I am concerned. We act like Trey's block "foul" was called with 50 seconds left in the game, but it was called with 5 minutes left. There was time to recover.
Hancock being out there because the refs failed to properly attribute at least one more foul to him still haunts me.
...and it was not intended to be the thread for those watching the Selection Show 11 hours later.
lol, if you create an (OPEN) thread 31 minutes before tip/kick someone bitches...if you don't create it at all, someone bitches...11 hours in advance.
What does that even mean? Did you win the internet today sir, too?
So Georgia State won. Someone tell me if that's good or bad for us
Bo Ryan gets just as many ridiculous calls, so hopefully deciding who to favor will make Ted Valentine's (it's almost definitely Ted Valentine) head explode on national television.
He's a disgusting little troll, but it's time we stopped underestimating him. Preseason, we talked at length about how depleted they would be this year. And here they are on the verge of another B1G tournament title and poised for a NCAA run.

Quite a game at the BTT Final.
OT.
Sparty scoreless in OT.
