Discuss.
to Tommy Amaker and the wicked smaht kids.
anyone know what time um game will be on saturday?
Till the opponent has been determined.
Belmont just went on a quick 10-0 run.
Go Zips, Go fighting Amakers and go Montana Grizzlies. Now that Michigan has won I want some upsets.
Golden Bears are looking pretty good right now
With the news of akron players being sick, I think I rather have them in the Third Round.
And cue the douche negging everyone in this thread in 3...2....1...
says we're not going to play Akron on Saturday. Anrgy Akron Basketball Hating God strikes
For god knows what reason I thought it was a good idea to pick Belmot to make the elite eight. Whoops. Also UNLV is pissing me off.
I feel better now that I only had them winning one game. But damn that loss effected the percentile standings in the espn community big time
I'm lucky in that the games that I've gotten wrong so far I had them losing the next round anyway. We'll see how that goes though...Still would appreciate a miraculous UNLV comeback.
I just don't want to play VCU... I am not saying we can't win... Because, on paper, it's a good matchup for us, but damn I wouldn't mind destroying the Zips.

I say bring on VCU. Let's see them try to press one of the least turnover prone teams in the nation. #EZBUCKETS
Not so late out in Portland, OR. THis time of the year West coast is the best coast.
so true! love living on the west coast. great for football too. late night games don't ruin going out in the evening.
I like Syracuse and have them winning a couple at least. But I think their game tonight will be damn interesting.
I think Akron is going to rally around the misfortune and come out with a win.
MICHIGAN IS ON COMMIT WATCH RIGHT NOW
Source?
The M Block says a commit came recently.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
Are we talking about football or basketball?
have them making a run. Not looking so smart right now
I know their D can be trouble, but it really looks like if you keep calm and keep the ball moving forward you can get some easy buckets.
Their defense is terrible if not creating turnovers and I believe we have the least TOs in the country. I think it is a perfect match-up for us.
We haven't faced a team that pressed like this all game. Watching VCU they play fast - very fast. I am a bit more nervous than I was reading Brian's assessment...
March 21st, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
Wisconsin presses pretty hard and Burke had success breaking it. The key to VCU will be Burke breaking the press. Color me not concerned.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
I meant Indiana.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Pressing teams press usually because their half court D isn't very good.
On the blog for less then a week and I double post. Apologies.
Refs are going to let VCU get away with a lot tonight.
Prediction: someone will vomit on the court tonight.
Coach brown from the M Block says we may have gotten a commit in the past hour and to stay tuned...
Akron is going to lose this game by 20+. They are outmatched
ok, i am officially worried about playing vcu saturday
Why? Based on 6 minutes against an undermanned Akron team?
March 21st, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
good shooters. excellent coach. fantastic defense.
we've played undermanned teams and not looked as good.
not that i am picking vcu to win, but i am more worried after actually watching them.
Flagrant! Toss the bum out. A punch to the face then pulling him down midair? Insane.
~Herm
Herm vs Ted Valentine in a verbal dispute.
Live on PPV.
I'd buy.
I think VCU has the potential to get in major foul trouble against Michigan if they continually press.
My god...UNLV let Cal go inside on them at will.
The Cal free throw shooter got his own rebound...that is embarassing.
Let's hope all the VCU players have the flu come Saturday.
I must say, I'm excited about the possibilities of our offense against VCU's defense. We are a great transition team and if we can get Burke with the ball and numbers a few times I feel we have a great chance of winning with style.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
I think its pretty safe to say at this point that VCU will be our opponent on Saturday.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Trying to pull of their best Davidson impression right now and give this game to UNLV
March 21st, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
And UNLV has a chance....
March 21st, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
I swear if Cal blows this...
March 21st, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
Is it bad that I'm a little worried about VCU right now..... Naw fuck it
