Nice. Picks IU to win the game, but .. has us going E8.
There would be nothing sweeter than MU playing IU and ending Crean's season, while heading back to the Final 4.
My head would explode.
This board would probably need to be shut down if that matchup occurs. Regardless of the outcome.

Your head would explode with either outcome. IU winning and your contempt causing spontaneous combustion. MU winning and your head exploding because MU is in the Final Four.
I hope the game happens...either way one of my schools is going to the Final Four. Make it happen.
PS: There is a thread on the IU board about how sweet it would be to end MU and Buzz's season.
Didn't Bilas also warn of MU being on the wrong end of a 3-14 upset a couple hours ago?
That would mean we beat Miami. If that happens, ANYTHING is possible!!

He commented that it is a dangerous game for MU, that they are the better team, but Davidson is built to give them trouble.
Basically said MU should and will win the game, but he wouldn't be shocked if we lost.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I warned of this a couple of weeks ago, in just about the same words- kind of in jest, but I'm afraid not really.

No need to worry, Indiana won't get that far. (We may not either.)
Dick Vitale picks us to lose to Davidson.
CBS bracket breakdown said we match up well with anyone because Buzz uses what he calls "interchangables." Has, MUBB beating Miami in the s16 and think it will be a "special game."
Hey, they said something other than "hard working" and actually tried to talk about paint touches and switchables.

Gosh, I hope Digger does, too.

Best news I've heard since we got the 3 seed.

Vitale has 9 teams in the final four.....buffoon
Lappas on CBS picks Marquette as his national championship "sleeper" team. Get's told they aren't a sleeper because they are a #3 seed.

There's a special place in hell for sports bigamists.
Bilas is the best analyst in college basketball and Vitale is the worst.
Take that for what it's worth.

As the Beach Boys said..."Be true to your school"
...all of them.
Vitale doesn't know much... he always has Duke going far, baby! North Carolina rocks, baby! If Wake Forest was in the tournament he probably would have them going to the E8, given his ACC bias. The only person who is worse is Digger Phelps - has he ever picked MU to win a game?

Yes, there was that one time....unfortunately we got drilled so maybe it's good he doesn't pick us.

That's where you and I differ. If it comes down to Harvard or Michigan playing MU I would be pissed if either beat Marquette to advance in the Tournament.

In an arena that pits the only two posters that will use any excuse whatsoever to bring up their grad schools and current/former places of employment, I'm rollin' with this stance. Eff everone else that's not MU on the hardwood.
Seriously though guys. Ask yourselves if anyone else on here ever feels the need to bring up their grad schools or current/former places of employment. Then ask yourselves why anyone would/should care about yours.

I would be pissed, too. So we don't different. I've clearly stated that I have a pecking order. MU, IU, then KU. The difference is that if IU beat MU, I would be pissed for a little while and then happy that one of my other alma maters is still alive and advancing. It's all how you look at life. As I also said before, working in the athletic department for those schools has a lot to do with it. I wasn't just a student.
To each their own. Just as there are people here that would cheer on Wisconsin or Notre Dame to beat IU....I never would. Those are true rivals and would never give them that support. As a MU fan I would find it appalling. So it's funny what "fandom" dictates here for some actions but not other actions.
Bilas also picked us in the final 4 the year we lost to Stanford and the Lopez twins. He obviously likes us.
Bilas has been pretty pro MU for years. One of the reasons I like him, other than his quality analysis of other schools. Maybe I just think hes quality because he likes MU. Chicken or the egg, here.
