@Original_Irish Michigan finished national runner-ups twice in the past 9 seasons and in those years we finished 5th and 4th in the Big Ten.

Dude I'm messing with you. It's all satire.
I'm a Gonzaga/Pac 12 fan so it's fun to make fun of the Big 10's failure this year in the tourney by using the arguments that Big 10 fans used all season to downplay Gonzaga and the PAC.
Michigan won the title in 2013. They've done pretty well for themselves in the last 10 years
If Gonzaga would play a real schedule maybe you could make it over the hump.
Clearly not preparing you enough, you make it to title game to get ran thru by a real team.
Super nice of them to let our former players wear their rings.
Whats the B1G excuse for no title in 20 years then, since yall get so much preperation during the brutal conf schedule.
So let me get it what you are saying straight. The only conference that prepares teams, is the one that has the winner of the tournament?
Our excuse is that the team we played in the finals cheated and had to vacate their title because of it.
That isn’t Gonzaga’s issue.
Watch Oklahoma vs Gonzaga
If you didn’t see the issues there you aren’t paying attention
Too many easy baskets. Team that knows they can score every time they get the ball so there is zero intensity on the defensive end
Watch Baylor vs Villanova
Villanova gave Baylor their best game.
It was on the defensive end because Baylor on offense can have issues because they play too much iso ball
Shut up.
Gonzaga isn’t winning a NC because they aren’t ever an elite defensive team
Has nothing to do with the West Coast Conference
They could win a NC playing in the WCC.
But they need to improve the defense. They are trying that with a rim protector this year.
Can’t have that. If a guy scores on you make it a low percentage shot
Not high percentage shots near the rim
That’s my whole point.
Conference has nothing to do with who wins a title.
Plenty of years the team that wins the title doesn’t come from the best overall conference.
Gonzaga would’ve contended for the title regardless if they were in the WCC or B1G or Big 12.
Sarcasm, clearly I was making fun of that logic.
By giving an absurd using said logic, he would’ve had to agree to my take or admit the the logic is flawed.
Michigan will be better than Duke and he only has us 9th so I wouldn’t put too much into it
I have to agree - I love that CBB decides a winner based on who actually won the game(s). Except for football, baseball, soccer, tennis, hockey, curling, cricket, lacrosse, volleyball, and a few others, not many other sports can say that.
It kinda seemed to be implied by "we're going to pistol whip everyone."
Kentucky will pistol whip Michigan, I am already looking for hails avatar
What would trigger you more, something liberal or something Michigan State related?
Rank the B1G coaches by tiers and put Howard in the tier 2, get some popcorn, sit back and enjoy.
He's awful confident. Michigan will be a good team, at home, but Kentucky will be pretty good, too. I think Biden is definitely an option.
Nothing is guaranteed. Upsets do happen.
