U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

...DO YOU BELIEVE IN PRETTY GOOD BASKETBALL SEASONS....?

Lol. That was a good one.

[DanO]

i'M THINKING A 10 SEED AS WELL.

GO LIONS "11" !

[Kstat]

I still think they're a 9, with a high of 8 and a low of 10.

[*JD*]

I'm thinking 9 seed if we lose to Tattoo U but I'd take a 10 seed.

[*JD*]

How has B-line's tenure been better than Amaker's? Because he made the tournament once?

That's one reason.

Another is the bulk of Coach Beilein's players actually improve while here.


The coaching job he's done here with this year's team may have no equal. They've more than doubled the total of wins that most people predicted.

[Whitley]

Michigan's seeding is going to depend a lot on 1) whether they take out Ohio State and 2) if there are upsets in the conference tourneys.

[Kstat]

I'm floored that Belien doesn't get more credit. He's massivelyimproved his program from the shithole it was prior to him taking over. He even got the AD to spend money on basketball.

[The Oracle]

Amakers teams never overachieved once...this is #2 so far for jb....anyone comparing two doesn't get it.

[chemiclord]

I think dodger just has something against coaches from West Virginia.

[gjdodger]

Do you blame me?

[Kstat]

...and the big 10 round of musical chairs continues...all 3 bubble teams win. Illinois might get left out.

[WingsFan]

Reason why I only (mostly) don't tune in till the tournament starts. While its good to see Michigan relevant again, these games mean nothing more than a pre-season.

[chemiclord]

Yes... obviously the better and more fair option would have been for Kansas and Ohio State to play for the national championship right now without these silly tournaments getting in the way.

[WingsFan]

The only sport IMO now is college football where every weekend games matter. Yes every weekend is like a playoff every game, the basketball tournament should be 32 teams (again) get in, as in your a very good team. Non of this .500 or just over in your conference and your in, I know this will never happen - ($$$ ) - would love to see Michigan State get too the elite 8 - that would be a joke or not?

[chemiclord]

And how exactly does every game not matter if there is an 8 (or even 16) team playoff in college football?

Do you think any .500 conference teams are playing in that scenario?

Come on. You're smarter than that to construct such a poor strawman.
