For the love of God i hope Arizona beats Michigan.

I’ll take the unpopular stance here.

IMO Arizona is the better team (yes, marginally). Secondly, there’s value in already knowing what Michigan presents. We’ve already played them, know the scout, just have to execute better.

It’s impossible to root for PU with TKR. The rest of their team have no issues rooting for

I don't know...Loyer and Smith are insufferable hot dogs when they get on a roll sometimes with their hand gestures.

Tennessee is getting embarrassed.

All 3 teams that made the FF (IL, Arizona, Michigan) have won all their games by 12+ points

Morez being a punk

 

[UCantHideYer]

I think Morez kissed him

Morez being a punk

He absolutely escalated the situation- the Tennessee dude just refused to let go and Morez got in the dudes face and started talking.

Yaxel as well

Morez being a punk

They should just call the game and let Morez and Carey punch it out at center court.
About the only interesting thing that could happen at this point!

 

[Piotyr]

I'm starting to think Tennessee might not come back in this one.

 

[TheodoreRex]

Yaxel is such a turd- love seeing him get dunked on lol

 

[TampaToo]

Agreed. It will take an A+ effort for us to beat either one of them if we make the NC game, and I’d SO much rather have to watch Arizona cut down the nets than Michigan.

But how sweet would it be to see scUM walking off the court with sadness tears in their eyes.

How? He showed his maturity. You're all in your feelings.

 

[RockfordIllini]

We only have to play one of Michigan or Arizona.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Michigan has had a relatively easy path to the Final 4. Really sad that Jefferson got hurt for Iowa State. That would have made the region more interesting.

Arizona vs Michigan will be most interesting.

Yawn, who invited the guys in orange to the tourney. Maybe they confused them with the other team in orange?
ILL

 

[TheChief4Life]

Interesting stat: this is the last orange team Michigan will beat this tournament.

I think Michigan would beat iowa state by 30 too. They had inflated metrics just like Houston. Arizona is the only team worth a crap from the Big 12.

Morez Johnson sighting!

I mean... we beat 1 team better than a 9 seed and we didn't have to play Caleb Wilson because he got hurt. But all our fans were crying because we had a hard path. We've been both good and lucky. Michigan makes things look easy.

 

[Turn N’ Burn]

Michigan reminds me of UCONN from 2023-2024.

 

[NarrowJ]

Michigan with the starting unit still in up 31... game has been over for an hour

 

[hooraybeer]

trey mckenney is going to be a problem next year if he’s back at UM.

Underwood does the same thing. I wish he got our bench guys more minutes, but hey, that's obsolete.

 

[Iamgroot]

Wow I hate to say but Michigan absolutely destroying Tennessee smh

 

[Bassinillini]

When Dusty uses back channels and cash to poach key players from teams within his own conference (ala Johnson, Mara, Gayle) he not only feeds his own mouth but he instantly makes his conference opponents weaker. A dirty 2 for 1 if you will. Maybe he thinks that's the only way he can win. Newer version of K. Sampson. Say what you like about Izzo but can't imagine him or Brad or Hoiberg loading up their teams that way (Sanford transferred after his coach resigned).
