[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1597926, member: 74571"] Sure, we can't underestimate Michigan should we run into them again in elimination play. But I think we can also recognize that, in the words of one Michigan fan, we are "a disaster-level matchup" for them. A big part of their offense is premised on Dickinson winning his individual matchup and then passing well out of double teams. Kofi singlehandedly neutralizes that particular game plan. Then you add in our faster guards who can also play smothering defense. On top of that, we are a strong rebounding team with multiple perimeter shooters. A splash of Curbelo collapsing their defense and keeping them off balance, and you have a recipe for too many problems with not enough solutions. In a 10-game series against them, I think we could win 7 or 8. They're still a really good team on paper. We just happen to be scissors this year. [/QUOTE]
