Jay Bilas .. picks Indiana vs. MU E8 game

[ChicosBailBonds]

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.

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.
