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.
If we're being honest. It's Michigan and Gonzaga.... then everyone else.

- Start date
We may have seen the last of the Michigan bandwagoners for this year.
But....LMAO @ them anyway.
MSU’s worst team this millennium beat UM’s best team this millennium.
You post stuff like this every chance you get then pretend to not understand why I give it back to you.
I’ve gotten all season from you. I had to jump at the chance.
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.

Law of averages.
If we’re finally being honest, it’s Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois......then everyone else.
Michigan is definitely slumping. They were crushing everyone in the B10 during most of the season. They don't look like themselves.
Well, I said early in the season that I thought Illinois was the best team in the B10. Michigan was a big surprise.
That is why I worry about the B1G as a whole .
We will see. It all plays out.
When I see Dickerson I don't see this high level talent...
I see a big guy who gets by playing other big guys who don't have much athletic talent.
I would really pay attention to him in the next game
I feel like Cockburn at Illinois could have pulled his covers.
That confidence may not be there.

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.
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.
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
Little bit of both.
Watch how he tried to box out against Michigan State
.....
Rec League type shit
Gonzaga struggling against BYU, they look overrated too. Perhaps Baylor was the only real contender after all.
There 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.

WVU and Okie State both took L’s after you posted that.
Baylor has tons of options and good chemistry on Offense and played smothering D yesterday against Whiskey. Very impressed after the way Wisconsin had their way with UNC. Very long and lanky team.
Yeah Baylor has been dominant, this can surely be their year if Scott Drew doesn’t screw up. Gonzaga and Michigan on the other hand, seem to be struggling so far.
Stop being a pussy and come back and admit your post sucked.
