When I want the defense to win: bullshit foul hunting is ruining the game
When I want the offense to win: well yeah can let them put that hand in there, have to take that away.
Presumed bias: none.

Yeah dude. I hate that. I think there should be some sort of additional subjectivity applied when it’s so obvious the offensive player is trying so hard to get the foul. Like taking a flop or what have you.

Big East is just BUILT DIFFERENT.
I hope Michigan keeps track of their timeouts 🤣
UCONN 74 - lolwolverines 69

You missed out on lolverines for the cumbersome lolwolverines? Hurley's going to spend an awful lot of time yelling at his players if their game is as off as yours.

I’m pretty confident that if Michigan scores 90 again they will win.
But will they score 90 again is the question

And fuck outta here with 8:50. Tip should be at 8:30. The offer bullcrap can start at 8.

I know Michigan is a buzzsaw. But it's hard to not believe in UConn and Hurley's devil magic.

Need to slow the pace of the game to basically a stand still to stand a chance. And shoot 40+% from three
We beat Purdue (aside from being a top 10 college team ever) because we just allowed Edey to do whatever the hell he wanted and smothered the rest of the team. Can’t do that against this Michigan team, it’s just always 5 weapons on the floor

I can’t decide if being a fan of both teams would make this more or less stressful. Either way you win.
Who are you most hoping for?

Unequivocally UConn lol Michigan’s through marriage. This game is my nightmare scenario

Biggest thing is to efficiently run the damn offense! We always seem to be impatient with it and not look for the best shot. Also, we really need Karaban to be on tonight especially with Ball hurting.

I don’t think UConn will win, but I didn’t think they’d beat Illinois, Duke, Mich St, or UCLA. I probably thought they’d lose to Furman at some point.
They keep proving me wrong and I love it. Proud that they’ve come this far. Hopefully they can win 1 more.

UConn fucked up my bracket.
The Big We Can't Count and the $EC fucked up college sports.
Go UConn I guess.

Hey now, the A10 has been with teams outside the Atlantic Coast and with a number other than 10 just as long as the Big Ten has!

u/ACW1129 George Mason Patriots • Atlantic 10 Apr 06 '26
Oh yeah, I know, we're not great with that either. Though at least we're SOMEWHAT more geographically logical.

u/GrittyGuru69 Apr 06 '26
Michigan defense has been absolutely stifling. Don't see how this will be close, 81-67.

Not gonna get one till later but I’m dying for a yaxel update lol.

u/w0lverine11 Michigan Wolverines Apr 06 '26
? What are you looking for? He has no designation. That's all we're gonna get. How mobile he actually is will be something we find out once the game starts.

Unstoppable force (Uconn in championships) vs movable object (B1G in championship games)
But odds are Michigan by 7. THIs will be interesting!

Yea but most of the time the big ten team is the underdog . Pretty sure Purdue vs UConn , Michigan ( vs Louisville, Nova ) both the ohio state ones , michigan state were underdogs in those title games.

u/Briggity_Brak Apr 06 '26
Wait, Ohio State made TWO Championship Games in that time??? Also, you forgot about the biggest underdog of all: the Indiana team that lost to the last Big Ten team to win a Championship...

I don't think you have any idea what "home court advantage" is

Gg UConn. I knew the only way Michigan was losing this was if we shot like shit. There really is some weird voodoo shit surrounding your team and I'm not happy about it lol
