Them mother****ers did it

13 seconds left up 4 and (probably) shooting two. Just make your free throws.

70 will probably be enough. They’re on pace. Need to finish.

Michigan is keeping UConn in the game. Need to go up double digits and not turn back.

Certainly has left something to be desired.

It speaks to how other worldly Michigan basketball is this season that they’re up four at the half without having hit a three-point shot. Feels like they have a chance to cover the spread and then some if they can just find a rhythm.

0/7 from behind the arc is the story so far. Make some of these and they could run away.

Michigan outplaying UConn but down. Need to hit the shots.

Indy looks like a Michigan satellite campus right now. Easily 100:1 ratio of Michigan to UConn fans.

Maybe they love Proctor. Maybe they don't love Proctor, but know that he'll probably be there at #17 and would prefer OT-needy teams drafting after them think they love Proctor. Releasing tidbits to the media is an art form.

Indeed. First row in the 400s. Not the cheapest seat in the place but still cheaper than a single Lions game on my season ticket package.

Pulled the trigger. I'll be in Section 427. Free tissue paper comes with the seats to assist in any nose bleeds.

I did forget about this one. Rakestraw may have had more warning signs that was realized. I don't remember injuries being a major red flag of his in the draft process.

If the goal is to find football players in their young 20s who have not suffered a serious injury in the prior ten years while playing a violent game at a high level, you're going to struggle to succeed. Double that if the goal is to find a cheap free agent who has played several years of professional football into their mid- to late-20s. I would also push back on at least some of these. Jamo has been a success. Chark was a success. Rakestraw's hernia happened with the Lions. He started every game his junior year at Missouri, and missed four his senior year due to a groin injury that to my knowledge has not reoccurred. Mitchell was a 5th round pick. Levi didn't miss a game at Washington. Paschal missed one game in his last three years at Kentucky. To the extent that Holmes may be a little more willing to take a high-ceiling guy with some injury concerns, I agree. But I don't think it's that pronounced.

They’ve also rarely been favored in the championship. Villanova was favored by 7, Louisville was favored by 4. Last time they were the favorite to win was 1989, when they did win.
