Tough match-up for Purdue if they make it past the first round. I think Michigan has a decent chance to make the Sweet 16 here.

Re: Midwest Region Discussion

No direct effect on MSU, so I will be pulling for Michigan. Also, although an upset would be unlikely and I don't have the balls to call it, I think UDM will give Kansas a game.

The fact that Michigan has to play Ohio is absolutely hysterical to me.

Just happy to be here. But would love to make a run.

Re: Midwest Region Discussion

I bet State fans were about to go into panic mode since they didnt reveal them getting in until the very last team, lol. I hope we get to see UNC v Creighton; Harrison Barnes vs high school teammate Doug McDermott. What a matchup.

I had them making the Final Four in one of my 4 brackets lol. Had them losing 1st round in another one though...

Re: Midwest Region Discussion

I'd bet anything that Belmont beats G'town and forces them out of their slow *** half court game.

Re: Midwest Region Discussion

I really like Michigan's draw, but only the first "2" rounds. No way do we get past UNC.

Laughed when I saw the matchup vs Ohio, almost like it's an inside joke, but the way Michigan ended the season in the big10 tourney, I wouldn't be surprised to lose right away.

But my honest prediction would be Michigan gets to the sweet 16 and gets blown out by UNC.

Yeah I don't like the UNC match-up. If Michigan had a few less talented teams in their region I'd feel a little bit better about making to the Elite Eight, but it's going to be tough here. Temple might be a pretty big challenge as well. Michigan is the type of team that's susceptible to just about anyone due to their skill-focused play and tendency to rely on jumpers.
