Illinois has the blueprint for beating Michigan, and I think they're a lot more beatable than most thought. I could see a team like Purdue taking them down. Just need a quality big man, and guys willing to play solid defense on their PG.
Lol lol pop pop popI must have missed when you admitted you might be wrong. When was this?
BUMP
MSU’s worst team this millennium beat UM’s best team this millennium.
I’ve gotten all season from you. I had to jump at the chance.You post stuff like this every chance you get then pretend to not understand why I give it back to you.
It is a rivalry game. Michigan is still really
good but I do think there was a reason why some of us thought the Zags and Baylor were a little above them. Doesn’t mean UM couldn’t win it all.
Michigan has fallen off the horse. I didn't watch the game. WTF is going on in Ann Arbor?
Michigan is definitely slumping. They were crushing everyone in the B10 during most of the season. They don't look like themselves.It is a rivalry game. Michigan is still really

Well, I said early in the season that I thought Illinois was the best team in the B10. Michigan was a big surprise.Law of averages.
If we’re finally being honest, it’s Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois......then everyone else.

Sheriff, When I see Dickerson, I see a dude with goggles and a Jheri curl with a #29 making dudes miss in the open field.
When I see Dickinson I see a mountain, not just a big guy. He "gets by" by being a lot bigger than 95% of the guys he's going up against. He's not going to have a ton of athletic talent given his stature but he does have decent hands and knows how to play. He's also a FR.
Look at his last 2 games.
Start to ask yourself why couldn't this happen earlier in the season
Dickerson or Dickinson?
To be fair, Dickerson was over the hill long before his last 2 games. He was 33 years old with the Atlanta Falcons!
If you're talking about Dickinson I'll ask, Why couldn't "what" have happened earlier in the season? He got 12 & 7 and 14 & 10 in his last two games. It's not like he was a complete no-show. He's a FR. He didn't play great. They probably had an easier schedule earlier in the year and nobody had film on him. Ok. You want him benched?
I don't think anybody is comparing this guy to Shaq.
The way he goes is the way Michigan goes.
The question becomes how to slow him down.
Michigan is a lot easier than let's say Baylor or Gonzaga to slow down.
Ultimately why the classic post game isn't always the best way to play.
When I watch him I worry about him going up against athleticism...
Guys who want to play above the rim.
Every player has a weakness, and matchups are important for sure. How many big guys are flying around above the rim in college basketball? Serious question. I'd think a bigger problem for him would be going against a team that spreads the floor and didn't actually play a true C in the middle and forced him to cover a guy on the perimeter.
I've only seen stretches of Michigan. I thought their backcourt was the bigger issue for them because they look undersized to me and that could be a bigger problem than running into an athletic big man.
They seem like an ok team to me in a year of ok teams ha
Michigan is so shit that I wont be surprised if they lose in the sweet 16 and even round of 32, the fluke run finally came to an end with blowout loss to Illinois and then a bad loss to MSU.
Too bad for the Cougs there are still 24 minutes left in the game.BYU roughing the Zags up a bit
IllinoisThere are certain type of teams who can beat Gonzaga.
They aren't as unbeatable as people think.
Possibly Baylor could be a tougher matchup because of how well their guards play.
You can shut them all down.
