And down goes UNC...
Second - Houston
Third - A&M
Go Blue!
Seems like it, lets just hope A&M doesnt play as well against us . Go Blue !
After watching the Aggies dismantle the Tar Heels, I'm not so sure I'm happy about the upset...
Yeah I think the worse team had a better day today. Hopefully they cool off before they face Michigan - it's a bit scary to face a hot, hot team.
yea, if you listen to the broadcasters on the final play, their tone of voice implied that they had ZERO confidence in UM hitting that shot, with how poor our shooting was all game.
you can feel it, the energy is palpable, when a possible comeback/walkoff play is in the air, and to be honest, prior to the inbounds it felt like there was zero chance--the team was too cold/not really that pumped--for that shot to go in.
and i'm a hardcore "we're gonna come back, just wait for it" for all UM FB and BB, probably because when I was a kid the first season I watched was 1997 FB (i cut out all the sunday paper photos and recaps and everything).
hopefully the numbers pay off and there's a statistical correction (like that houston player's season 67% FT shooting regressed towards the mean and his missed those last two free throws, priorly shooting 9/9, 100% before then), and Michigan returns to form after such a slow/bad shooting start.
for Texas A&M.
But they somehow manhandled us and is ranked #9 by KenPom after the loss today while TAMU is only #24.
I think we'll matchup vs TAMU much better than UNC did.
And that worked out well for them in their two meetings with us. Transitive property is officially worthless in college basketball
It's hard not to shoot well when you are just laying the ball in the hoop from 6 inches away.
I'd rather Michigan play A&M than UNC also. Hopefully I don't rue my words, but A&M doesn't appear to have a lot of offensive firepower based on season stats. Michigan will have to shoot a LOT better than they did in the first round, but if they can manage to get hot it could be a comfortable win. UNC was a scary good offensive team that went ice cold today. A&M is no slouch team though, and their defense is legit, so I wouldn't underestimate them.
I think TAMU is a better matchup for us.
We'll never know the answer one way or the other, so it's just time to
in both 3-pointers per game and 3-point percentage. Seems like they had a paticularly hot game because they clearly weren't draining them like this all season.
Texas A&M has a player named DJ Hogg, that is all
How did Arkansas blow that recruitment? I mean, come on...
House money at this point. What a weekend!
Well...that was yesterday. And the Yanks had a grand total of two starters in the lineup.
Nah, let the Bombers lose a couple of games. They'll survive.
Beat me to it.
Ask again after the women's BB team beats Baylor.
But they also lost one of their starters to a season ending injury and booted a rotation player off the team. Injuries and suspensions hurt them, but they aren't really closer to full strength now than they were most of the season.
Couldn't have asked for anything better.

What, exactly, are you planning on doing for those other 25 seconds?
A&M has some size out there and a legit defense. Will probably end up being another slog. Would love to see the outside shooting finally get hot.
It's funny. UNC clearly cheated in the classroom, but as far as the one-year rentals of one-and-dones are concerned, they don't seem to be at the level of Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky. (Oh, and Sparty.) I'd guess that they're cheating _less_ than those schools.
I've never had the sense that UVa is cheating.
