The Ohio bandwagon
Why do a lot of people think Michigan is going to lose this game? Look, I know M is not Phi Slama Jamma, but what is it about this particular matchup and this particular team that is making this game the "upset special" of the first round? I am not expecting a cake walk here but all of the sudden every analyst and commentator that I see is acting like D.J. Cooper is a five time All American. I don't want to be the jinx guy, but I am I the only one that really does not see the ingredients of an upset here? I have taken a look at Ohio, I have seen them play and watched a little video. There are a lot of other matchups where a higher seed looks more vulnerable than Michigan to me. Prior to selection Sunday, JB was known as a coach who is a very tough out in the NCAA tourney. What's all the fuss about now?

Name me one position in the main 7 where they have the better player? The one area you need to exploit generally to beat Michigan is the lack of front court depth. They don't have the horses to even do that.
Better players, better coaching, great chemistry. We'd have to become a turnover machine to lose this one.
Not predicting a blowout, but there is a wide difference between a close competitive game and actually losing to a team like this.
