Setting up for a Saturday College Gameday top 5 matchup in Storrs vs the reigning champs. Doesn’t get much bigger that that in February

Agreed.  Will be fun.  Hope MUs defense suffocates them.  And they hit a couple threes.

Would Game Day go to a Fox game?

Would Game Day go to a Fox game?

No.  But Fox should have an hour pre-game  with the right group of people.

Got a couple games to get through.

Just one.  There won't be time for polls to adjust if we drop a game at Butler, so we would (for the time being) still be top 5 even with a loss.

Of course.  But that a loss a couple days ahead of the matchup, which would basically wrap up the BE regular season title for UCONN already (assuming they don't lose to Georgetown or DePaul ahead of our game), would take quite a bit of the energy out of that game, regardless of ranking.

I did not see the game, but I might have done the same thing if one of my players were in danger of getting hurt.

It is a trap game, expect a loss

I think of their 9 big 10 losses michigan has lead at half in like 7 of them so we know how this will end

 But michigan currently up 31-22 on Bucky

They might be the worst second half team in college basketball

I wouldn’t get my hopes up for a Badger loss.

Michigan is statistically, literally, the worst second half team in college basketball.

Using win probability they are a negative 5.35 games in the second half.

In their 11 Big 10 games they are + 27 in the first half and minus 113 in the second.

So, Auburn, huh

I mean the post you quoted acknowledged all of that

Crowl picks up his 4th with 11:23 to go.  Uncharacteristic.

[PGsHeroes32]

Michigan up 6 at the under 8

[Judge Smails]

Bucky in danger of losing 3 in a row. But I think they’ll pull it out.

That post said “might be” and I was providing additional data.

[PGsHeroes32]

Michgian is so bad. They are trying to give this one away

[MuggsyB]
