2013 College Basketball Thread

UM looking good so far, but hasn't really played any consistently good opponents. B1G this year is just brutal. Last night MSU lost to Minnesota. I predict UM and IN share the B1G title. UM gets a 2 seed in the tourney and loses in the final 4.

Will be interesting to see if Michigan ends up at the palace for 2nd/3rd round action.

Anyway, Go Duke!!

 

[Stalker]

If they make it to the final four I'll be going since it's in Atlanta.

Nothing matters but March...

 

[Stalker]

If you don't get there it matters. Right now the B1G has one of the toughest conferences. MSU could quite possibly not even make it depending on how the season plays out. You'll play 8 games against teams which are higher ranked. MSU hasn't exactly performed. I'd be more concerned with how they perform game to game then I would just assuming you'll make it into the tourney.

 

[Swifster]

You're funny. They'll make the tourney. They actually played some real teams including beating Kansas. They could finish 8-10 in league play and still get in. Michigan hasn't played anyone yet.

Truth.

Um fans need to look at strength of schedule and see their shit's weak thus far.

 

[Stalker]

Both teams have played 1 team which is still currently ranked (excluding big 10 play since the games are equally divided from here on out). I don't really see how that makes MSU's schedule that much harder if harder at all. The fact that MSU lost to Miami is more telling than anything.

I'm looking at the strength of schedule and Michigan's is 10 places higher than MSU.

MSU has played 3 ranked teams, and UM has played 1. Let me repeat that, UM has played 1. And that one game was at home. I'm not worried. As long as they are in the field of 68, I'm good with the season. They have made the last 15 tourneys and they'll make this one too.

 

[YLWFVR]

I can only imagine the trash talking if both teams end up in the same bracket.

Lol

MSU eeks out a win against Iowa... Better hope you guys even make the tourney.

UNC went down as well to the Canes. Coach Roy did keep his jacket on, surprisingly.

Arizona is about to drop out of the undefeated crowd as well.

 

[Swifster]

Ah, the UM arrogance even during basketball season. A team that has won nothing since 1989...jeeez

And done.

 

[WIspartan1026]

Yeah, last night's game was pretty ugly. But questioning if we even make the tourney? Please.

 

[Stalker]

Duke about to fall. UM OSU very possibly will determine who is number 1. I don't doubt UM will come out of the B1G with a few losses, but I'm not worried about that.

 

[Stalker]

For the moment, UM is the number 1 team in the nation.

 

[benk]

I was at the Nebraska game an will be at both of the Michigan vs. MSU games.

 

[Stalker]

You can't give OSU 20 points and expect to win. Guess we see how good we are at coming back.
