Mara is a classic You-wouldn't-be-very-good-if-you-weren't-7'3"-and-got-a-Michigan-Whistle guy. Fortunately for him he's 7'3", and gets a Michigan Whistle.

He looked pretty good last night…. I’m not sure they have very many weaknesses. Now to be fair I watched Iowa State play this year more than any other men’s team so I’m not necessary ann authority, but I follow boxscores. I know how to read metrics and I haven’t ran into too many people that suggest Michigan has very many weaknesses.

In fact, my uncle, a huge Iowa stayed alum and a huge Iowa State fan and still involved with the university put a daughter through Michigan and a daughter through Wisconsin and he told me he thinks Michigan is probably the best team.

I personally think it’s Arizona… With Iowa State right there in the mix and then the Michigan’s and Michigan states and Illinois and Dukes of the world

But I don’t think you’ll find too many people agreeing they have many weaknesses

I agree that Michigan doesn’t have many weaknesses.

The thing is… He is 7-3 and what he did somewhere else has very little to do with what he’s doing now.

Ever since the main Iowa board got absorbed wherever that was?! I don’t post on Iowa message boards, with that said I used to trash the hell out Iowa guys that consistently bitched that Audi was only good because she was big.

I mean to me it’s kind of an ignorant comment. None of these basketball players would be as good as they are if they were 5 inches shorter. I mean what you’re saying is not lost on me. I still don’t like it as a comment.

This one going like a 1 vs 9 usually goes. 9 hangs around for a while but the 1 eventually pulls away.

Yeah Buddy is back!
 
Unfortunately this game had the feeling of "inevitability" to it. It's commendable Saint Louis kept it as close as they did for as long as they did, but they simply don't match up well with Michigan's athleticism. Not to mention UM did what they normally don't do - pop off from 3.
 
Michigan is in the Sweet Sixteen for the 2nd straight tournament and the 20th time overall. They are 14-5 in the Sweet Sixteen. Their last Sweet Sixteen win was in 2021 vs Florida State. They are 2-0 as a #1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen.

Just listening to the announcers for this game, I think we should just forfeit and go home. I am pretty sure Meeeeshigan would give the Dream Team a tough game.

Hope these guys are using condoms.

I suppose we could just wait until Iowa State played him and see how the announcers are then… I’ve watched a lot of Iowa State games this year and the announcers are generally pretty favorable to them
