- 3 one and dones
- 4 all Americans
- the most wins in the B1G
- two regular season B1G championships

And the program is continuing to recruit better and improve each year.

Maybe it’s my nihilistic streak talking here but it just feels cosmically unfair that the universe decided to - yet again - reward the dirtiest athletic department in NCAA history and Dan !!!!ing Hurley. Not to mention 2 of the most spoiled, obnoxious fanbases on Earth. Wish they could both lose tonight 😡

I will agree that there is no winner tonight. That said, my expectation is a beat down similar to what Arizona suffered. UConn just does not have enough elite players to match up. Michigan likely will not suffer a horrendous shooting night due to the depth of shooters they have on their roster. UConn will not likely shoot the lights out due to the plethora of athletic defenders Cheatigan will throw at them. Finally, UConn cannot possibly win the battle of the boards. Michigan will likely lose the turnover battle....but that will likely not be a significant factor.

The only good thing about this game is that it will end the B1G drought of NCCA hoops titles.
Go Illini!!!

I can’t stand Hurley and many fans at the Final Four seem to have the same opinion based on all the boos. Michigan and Morez likely bring the BIG its first crown since MSU

I agree with your assessments of both.

And I’m over it. Keep making deep tourney runs and maybe we’ll get one.

Also, that rim is absolutely cursed. Thanks alot Coach Dan, with your garlic and holy water schtick you've unknowingly unleashed some uncontrollable dark magic on Lucas Oil Stadium.

Wondering what NCAA rule this Michigan team has somehow managed to break to get the next title erased. It's gotta take some work in this day and age, but they're exceptional at it. I think Michigan is going to run UConn off the court in the second half once they give up the voodoo rim.
I wish I wasn't hate watching this game but dang, not ready for the off-season yet.

Karaban has somehow looked like a 30 yr old chain-smoking French pro player his entire college career while being a dude I would absolutely want starting on my team.
So effective with his minutes, does everything right in every game I watch.

Seems like UCONN is not fully getting into their actions and making Michigan work. What is the latter doing to shut off that water?

The closer this game stays, the bigger the what if for me. I still can’t believe the lid that was on the rim for us. 😢
