Not loving win-than-play-one-seed (would've loved to have SDSU sooner in the bracket) but we don't have an easy first round game. We have our work cut out for us especially playing against Tennessee in SEC country.
My initial reaction was "poor Tommy" but after sleeping on it the "in with Harvard, not with Michigan" mantra is a bit unsettling. I'm no Al Davis/Mike Shanahan on this either but he's not here and he's not a Michigan alum so I shouldn't be stumbling all over myself to root for him. Best wishes to him and I hope we crush him every time we play his teams.
it seems that in recent years the committee hasn't been particularly kind to picking B1G teams for the tourney. When the "experts" hover between 6 or 7 teams in, the committee seems to tend to the low number. I'm not calling conspiracy at all. I'm just thinking particularly about two years ago with PSU and it seems like the same happened last year but I don't remember.
In that case I think Illinois fans have to be extremely concerned and this does disrupt the seeding for B1G teams including UM, MSU and PSU.
That Lunardi's bracket on the site is current before any of today's games are finished including our loss. His final bracket probably won't be posted until mid-day tomorrow.

Hard to hear a lot of the interview audio, but fun regardless. Thanks!
Duke played in the ACC tourney, I'm concerned. Positive but concerned.

I really do feel bad for him, I have always thought he is a good guy.

He reminds me of players like Nazr Mohammed. Doesn't seem to realize his size/skill advantage and fails to take advantage of it all the time.
