Dusty came to Michigan with a clean slate. Literally, not much of any roster. He went to the portal and built a team that just won the Big Ten Tournament! He found some of that in-season magic again this weekend which propelled the Wolverines to 3 wins in 3 days.
Now, the news is not 100% perfect. Michigan and Wisconsin played a Big10 Championship that looked like a Wednesday afternoon pick up game at the YMCA. Both teams were tired and Wisconsin just ran out of gas in the 2nd half after getting an 11 point lead.
After the win, it only took a few minutes for Michigan to get further disrespected. Michigan got a 5 seed in Denver and will play on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Did the committee do their seedings last week before any of the tournaments? Michigan played late on Sunday and now has to travel across the country to play on Thursday? That is BS and another sign the committee had this wrapped up on Thursday and played golf on the weekend.
- Iowa Basketball Big Man Owen Freeman has entered the portal after Fran was let go and lists Michigan as one of his potential schools.
- Michigan has hired Charlotte defensive tackles coach David Denham, I believe Michigan is trying to have a 1:1 ratio player to coach. David was at WMU prior to Charlotte with Biff.

Put Jay Bilas in charge of NCAA basketball and Saban in charge of football. The fact that UNC got in with exactly one Quad 1 win is an absolute joke. I don't want to hear about Quads when they obviously don't matter. Go Blue!
I kept scrolling down the bracket past teams that michigan beat, and then went back up to make sure i didn't miss UofM! I could see being lower than Sparty, but Wisconsin and purdue??
Well it wasn't pretty. That 1st half was brutal for both teams. Talk about laying some bricks! But from where this team was at the end of last season, to hang any banner is amazing. I zero expectations for the Big Dance. I would hope we win our opening game. The tournament usually comes down to who has the best guard play. Michigan's Gs struggle at times. Bonehead turnovers, scoring droughts etc. If we make the sweet 16 it would be another win!
Michigan got shafted....
Blue for life
Man, just let the computer do the seeding. This is bullshit yall
its the effing game that the NCAA seeding committee had done forever. They as much about match ups then seeding. Its almost WWE. Putting a team like Michigan that has struggled with turnovers all year against a team the feasts when teams turn the ball over. They'll seed teams where they can have iconic coaches square up. It's all a show!
Not saying the current situation works, but that wouldn't solve anything. Bilas is a boob and you don't think Saban has axes to grind with certain programs. It would be worse if you just had one guy doing it.
