Gonna need an explanation on the Mich love here, seen them all over preseason lists. Guess I'm not buying their comeback after losing 3 - 1st rounders. Though maybe I'm a lot lower on Cadeau than most people.
There were a lot of questions of Andrejs defense too before last year. Defense is mostly effort, playing for a final four caliber team with solid defenders around him will improve most of his flaws.
It's a shame with how well Bret's done, but fan support is genuinely exponentially greater for basketball than football.
My personal anecdote to that is just this last season I went to The Illini bar in Chicago, Finley Dunnes for a football game multiple times this season, always found a seat...
