"Michigan deliberately falls down to clog up the floor" is a strong theory.
Just puking cause I’m gonna have to root for UCONN on Monday.
Yeah I’m not sure how something doesn’t get a call there. What is an offensive player suppose to do to get a foul called.
Was not expecting a full half of BTA with Yax out, this is much less stressful then I anticipated
No shame in this. Michigan is just head of the class this year. Best player hardly played last 10 minutes and still dominating.
I whiffed and thought they'd be a big upset in like the 2nd round but they've been pretty automatic all tournament.
I'm just not going to watch. Much better things to do on a random Monday night. Like go to bed early and get a good night's sleep and be ready to conquer the world on Tuesday. Just for an example
Is the entire Big10 season like this with defenses flopping to draw fouls? Cause that would be an awful product to watch.
Everyone plays their best game of the year against Iowa State.
I’ve already flipped over to hockey tonight. Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner.
This has to be brutal for you. Similar to how most Cyclone fans felt watching Iowa have a deeper run and better season than us at the end of the day.
Michigan's coach was asked about similar stuff too so that's not a legit excuse.
Tommy Lloyd Arizona teams haven’t been the best in tournaments based on their talent.
The tournament is about matchups. Arizona not shooting threes worked against pretty much every other opponent, but Michigan is still big without Lendeborg, and it’s an absolute grind for Arizona right now to score in the post and drive. When that’s how you’ve generated offense all season, it’s hard to pivot in the middle of the Final Four
When Awaka threw up a 3-pointer I then shifted to thinking AZ had went into panic mode.
3rd foul on Bradley was huge factor.
Michigan spends as much time on the floor as they do standing & AZ thought they had drawn fouls, but several whistles were swallowed.
But of course, this game the shooters for AZ are cold & Michigan does have equal, if not superior, talent in tracking down missed shots & loose balls.
Will need a collapse by Michigan & a rejuvenated, spirited 2nd half by AZ for any chance at a close game. Still possible, as Barkley just said AZ is NOT the equal to Michigan, so the tide may have turned.

Looking like one of the most hateable nattys ever
