Will be another home letdown in a big spot. As much a tradition as the annual !!!! the bed moment we see from brads teams.

I was planning on posting that the path to a #1 seed goes through winning this game...

Now, hanging onto a #2 seed probably depends on it.
I think we get a 3. We need to win every game after this one and win a couple in the tournament. Michigan's defense is really really good!

No way at this point, they are earning a #1 seed. Agreed. They are not winning a big game if they can't play any defense.

I think they get to the S16, but with these horrible defensive performances at times, they're not advancing. Just get it together. Make some damn stops.

We’re a three seed, hopefully no worse than that.

I’ll gladly eat my words, but I don’t see any way we beat Michigan.
We won’t. Brad is not good in the big money home games.

I'm really not even sure we deserve a three seed after this game. We never should have lost to UCLA. How do you blow a 20-point lead and come back and lose it over time??

I think you hit the nail on the head. Our defense is way to inconsistent. I watched Duke and Michigan tonight. We are not in the same class defensively. Our guys are consistently getting beat and chasing down their guy. Any half decent ball fake and our guys go flying into the stands.

Soul searching time. They have to a week to be ready. If you want to lock up a 2 seed, have to beat Michigan. Otherwise staring at a 3.

At this point, I'm more concerned on how we do in the tournament rather than the seeding..If we miss the SW16, this season will be considered a disappointment and this team's defense is so suspect that there is a 50% chance of this result occurring..
