If Michigan loses in this tourney, it will probably be because of Zak Irvin. Has poor shot selection at times, just threw a bone head inbound pass out of bounds. If Bielein can get him in check, they could win it all.

Another terrible pass that led to a one possession game.

A fun matchup would be Gonzaga vs Michigan. Similar team in that the PG runs the show but have 2 stud college big men.

Mitchell is a great athlete but he waited too long to take charge but yo some of those rebounds he was skying for them. Crazy toolset there.

Louisville vs Michigan- UL is either going to kill Michigan or get beaten by them. Louisville is the better team with the better coach, but Michigan has five starters that can get hot from deep. And if there's any team that's been hot recently, it's Michigan.



Michigan got hot in the second half, but I don't think the differential between the teams was as big as I implied. Michigan has come a long way since the beginning of the season and have the legit talent to win it all.

UK not out of the woods yet, but Wichita should stop focusing on Monk and try to stop Bam. Monk is still in a miserable slump (a lot has to do with Wichita's defense) but they are giving up easy looks to Bam in doing so. Monk has been passing phenomenally today.

De'Aaron is leaving Shamet in the dust all game. Fox could move himself into top 5 territory with a huge Tourney. He's been amazing these past 7 games or so.

Monk blocks three by 6'8 McDuffie, gets fouled, drains both freethrows to put UK up by three. Great ending.

Miles Bridges feels like a player the Sixers would have drafted in the mid to late 2000s.

Well he'll probably get picked 10-20 this year so it checks out.

And OG Anunoby feels like a pick the Sixers would make 2013-2015.

Josh Jackson is going to be a superstar in the league. He had a 10 minute stretch in the 1st half on Friday, where he looked like Julius Erving.

Give me Josh Jackson at 3 and I don't even care about the tanking Lakers pick.

Been waiting on him to get his turn this year. Josh never lost number one on my board. Glad folks can finally see it and understand what we're dealing with and they can let go of the age BS.

doubt Bryan would take Jackson over one of the PGS near the top of the board.
