Neither did Iowa State and the Clones played pretty damn well during the two regular season meetings.

The key is going to be the first 20 minutes. It's a fact Kansas will come out like shite. Question is whether Michigan can jump out to a big enough lead, unlike UNC.

Ohio State had a big lead in the Final Four last year but couldn't extend it further and allowed Kansas to come back.

That transition layup Ohio State gave up at the end of the half came back to haunt them. Buford took a shot 3 seconds before he should have and Kansas got a layup.

Whole right side of the bracket was bullshite anyway. Kansas had no business even being there. UNC would have skull fricked them if Marshall didn't break his wrist jacking off

I am borderline enamored with the differing style of basketball Kansas plays depending on which half of the game they're in. Under Self, they have to be the least consistent team over 40 minutes I've ever seen.

Yup. It may work to get them to a Final Four, but no way they can do that over a six-game stretch and expect to cut down the nets again.

Eventually, they're going to get down and the shots won't fall and defense won't be able to win it in the second half

True, but Michigan is one of the most efficient offenses in the country, and if Kansas want's to run with michigan I think they'll get blown out they can take Withey out of the game. Plus Kansas can't defend outside of the paint.

I couldn't fathom losing in the NCG to Michigan.

Michigan is efficient against certain teams. Teams like Kansas (MSU, Wisco, OSU) give them fits.

If we both got there, Michigan would be the favorite.

Any chance we can just call it the Big 10 instead of B1G? It's pretty irritating.

That's debateable. And would depend on how Ohio State was playing.

Michigan would have to be shooting lights out to get there, Ohio State could get there by playing defense or by playing great offense. Or both.

I think it would be about even.

Ohio State defended Michigan off the floor in Columbus.

Michigan was the favorite in both games this season. I dont see this one changing.

When they won by 3, and got lucky that on a 3 that was down and came back out?

They were lucky to get out of that game alive after Michigan stormed back, but it took stupid bombs from Hardaway to steal the Crisler game, so I consider it even.

They were both really good games. Im not saying that Michigan would win if they played again, just that they would be the favorite.

The one where Michigan looked like a 4th grade Catholic school team playing against the Heat in the first half?

Yeah, that one.

So you mean the one where OSU almost choked away a 20 point lead while looking like the same CYO team that Michigan did in the first half?

It would be a 1-2 point advantage in Vegas either way.

I hate you Michigan bitches. So. Much.
