The team that beat UNC, WVU and Purdue is not the same Minnesota team that would be playing in the tournament. Minnesota is done. Unless they win the BTT which isnt going to happen. They will likely face NU in the 8/9 game and will either lose then or to OSU the next day. Without Al Nolen this team is worthless and doesnt even deserve an NIT bid let alone a bid to the NCAA tourney. Regardless of whether Michigan is worthy or not, Minnesota is NOT going dancing. Just give it up man. Maybe next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-89868345459405103232011-03-03T10:26:32.068-05:002011-03-03T10:26:32.068-05:00I disagree with the committee's position of ta...I disagree with the committee's position of taking bids away from teams based on teams losing players. If you are going solely based on resume(and if richmond is in, we're going by resume), then it's idiotic to use the argument "Minnesota is a worse team without their point guards", because strength of team has no weight in the argument.

The lowest UConn will drop is a 6. <br /><br />In all likelihood, Michigan is going to need two more wins to get in. A sweep of Michigan State is nice, but they need one more quality win to make their resume stand out over some other big conference bubble teams. Without that 4/5 game win, the highlight of Michigan's resume would be two wins over a team barely in the bracket. <br /><br />It's going to be very interesting to see what the committee does with BYU seed-wise in the wake of Davies' dismissal. Their chance at a 1 seed is obviously gone, and if they were to lose in the MWC semis, they're probably looking at a 3. A trip to the final would likely put them on the 2 line.

Going into the season, I was expecting the best we could hope for would be the NIT and after the 1-6 start to Big Ten play, even that didn't seem likely. <br /><br />Zach Novak may not be the highest scoring player on our team, but he is a beast and a great leader. With how this team is playing following their 1-6 start to Big Ten play and the fact that everyone returns next year, this team has the potential to be very good next year and in the years to follow. So even if we don't make the NCAA tourney this year (which I tend to agree beating MSU and Illinois would give us a fairly good chance on the bubble and beating MSU, Illinois and OSU would put us in)its incredible how far this team has come and this has definitely been an exciting (and often frustrating) team to watch this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-9055637300584752082011-03-02T23:47:44.440-05:002011-03-02T23:47:44.440-05:00Does new Mexico have a chance now assuming they do...Does new Mexico have a chance now assuming they don't blow their 20 point leadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-9768333520360337622011-03-02T23:37:11.827-05:002011-03-02T23:37:11.827-05:00Anonymous at 11:31: Beat MSU and lose the 1st rou...Anonymous at 11:31: Beat MSU and lose the 1st round, if I had to guess, I'd have to say no. They really need at least one BTT win. I think 2 but others disagree. It's that lack of a top tier win that kills them. That lucky shot by Wisconsin makes all the difference. An inch in any direction and Michigan is on the inside of that bubble sitting pretty.

Silly me assumed that most places did that too. <br />But you get my point, as a Wolverine, you'd agree that given the expectations coming in, that any game after the BTT is gravy for this team who I will say has absolutely no quit in them. I don't know how many pints of blood Novak has left on the floor this season but I have a feeling the Red Cross is giving him blood and not the other way around... They are a very scrappy group of youngsters coached up by a very classy and excellent coach. They may make you cringe some this year but get ready to kill some teams next year and beyond.
