What is our ideal scenario for B1G tourney?

Submitted by Gameboy on March 8th, 2012 at 8:45 PM

Is everyone around here hoping that the team wins the B1G tourney?

I am actually hoping we don't. Even with teams like last year's UConn included, I don't think the NCAA tourney records of the teams that win the major conf tourney championships is not that great. MSU is famous for not doing well in B1G tourney, then making some serious runs in the NCAA. B1G games are so physical, I think you pay a price for every game that you play. I would argue that it is better to keep some in the reserves, get more rest and get ready for NCAA next week.

All I want out of this tourney is to lock up the #3 seed. I think we do that with the win over Minn tomorrow. After that, if we play a ton of bench players in the semi and lose, I would be pretty satisfied.

What say you?

...is certainly yours to have. I admire a person who is willing to stake out such an odd and non-sensical position. Bravo.

this OP thread is full of troll, but I still can't avoid writing and saying that the OP is a complete moron.

Besides that, Go Blue.

But in all seriousness, the NCAA's don't get selected until after the B1G Championship game on Sunday. It's not like Belein and staff could prepare for the first round NCAA game until after that anyway. College coaches live on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine, (/s but you get the point) so let them prepare tape, game plan etc. until the kids get in on Monday. All of this is contingent upon winning the B1G tourney, but I think Michigan Seniors are going to continue to have a great year just as they did in football.

to 1. Play like shit, and 2. still win the tourney. Save the "hitting our stride" portion of things for next week, but Novak out a couple of wins this week.

I guy can dream right.
