Non-Refundable Only or you're not a True Fan.

On projections these days, but somehow I appreciate the info!

...how many games are played between now and the end of the conference...conference tournaments? I get saying if the committee was going to pick 64 teams today, this is who would be in...but to break it down by region and pairings seems so premature...these are worse than preseason college football rankings.
This is kind of a rhetorical question...all about clicks, $, etc, but I just find these so absurd.
January 18th, 2016 at 3:44 PM ^
Exactly why I hate these stupid bracket predictions. As you stated, it's all about web clicks, which they won't get from me.
January 18th, 2016 at 11:57 PM ^
I clicked for the both of us

FWIW, CBS also has us on the 7 line, playing Gonzaga, with UNC in Raleigh as the potential 2 seed opponent.
January 18th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
UNC would be a nightmare matchup for us. Size and length all over the place.
January 18th, 2016 at 3:09 PM ^
They have a lot of size at the 4 and 5.
Karnowski is a load at the post. Sabonis, the son of Arvydas Sabonis, can play the 4 and the 5 and is their best rebounder. You have Kyle Wiltjer who is a mismatch at the 4 at 6'10". He can really shoot but can post up against smaller defenders.
January 18th, 2016 at 3:27 PM ^
Karnowski is out for the year.

It be so great if we could find a way to only play teams who don't have any tall players.

Michigan makes top 5 for Dontavious Jackson, and one day after Mcddom says no to Oregon, he has a scheduled visit to the good guys!!!
January 18th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
No one is distracting this guy.
January 18th, 2016 at 2:50 PM ^
Shining light of recruiting enthusiasm that cuts through distracting board posts like a hot knife through butter.
January 18th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
Wrong thread bud. But I like your enthusiasm nonetheless.
January 18th, 2016 at 3:16 PM ^
Seed shmeed. We go on a hell of a run and win it all.

I get that the projection of a seed number can be exciting. But I don't see any value in projecting opponents, especially 2 deep.

Looking forward to a few weeks with Caris back in the line-up to improve possible seeding.
January 18th, 2016 at 4:40 PM ^
A second round matchup with UVA doesn't sound as daunting as any other possible options.
January 18th, 2016 at 4:41 PM ^
Lunardi @ espn has Michigan as an 8 seed in his bracket vs Zaga.
January 18th, 2016 at 4:45 PM ^
Right on schedule. I said #7-#10 seed.
But I think we would be a dangerous threat for the 2nd weekend.
This is a perfect example...because I'd pick us to beat BOTH of those 2 teams. This is why when people said "#7, that's so much disrespect! #BEILEIN!" I disagreed. I kept saying "we lost to EMU and NJIT last year WITH LeVert and Walton, we're not going to come out and be unreal just because it's a year later.
Still think we're in the same spot - but we're going to be that team in the tournament that teams dread playing. That said, I don't think we've got a team that can knock off a #2 then turn around a beat a 1-seed in the next game. But the Sweet 16 for this team is nothing to be disappointed about.

Hope they make the tournament. Anything can happen then. Once we do, rely on Bielein to outcouch
