National Championship: Michigan Basketball vs. Villanova Game Thread
A few hours ago, during my endless nervous pacing, I made note of the fact that the last game thread I made was for the Texas A&M Game in the Sweet Sixteen. I then realized that I must step up to the same task tonight, to add some good luck for our team to deliver that same shooting performance, along with defensive shutdown, that is necessary for the win.
Before we get to our reactions throughout what will be a long and bumpy night (good or bad). I'd like to express my gratitude toward this team. In January of this year, after quite a New Year's Day. It didn't feel that great to be a Michigan fan. Now, here we are in April, and we have a basketball team once again shocking the world, THE RIGHT WAY, and they've got a lot more shocking to do tonight. Thank you to all these players for the hard work and great memories already made! I can't wait to potentially see another one made, with John Beilein at the top of that ladder tonight, as no coach deserves it more. From me and the rest of this dysfunctional MGoBlog family, regardless of the outcome: I thank him for putting a once lost program back in a state of not only stability-but stability on a high level. In a year of scandals sucking all of the credibility out of College Basketball, the program being widely regarded as the cleanest is the one wearing maize and blue. It just seems like tonight would be the perfect night for endless muppets, super soakers, maize ponchos, water bottles, screams and tears of joy, and most importantly, the greatest fight song ever written.
We have said less, and done more. Now....
LETS DO THIS!!!!

Disappointed we aren't wearing maize, but we wore blue back in the day as well.
I’m all for giving blue a shot.
It's on like bacon. Beat Nova.
San Antonio--one giant dome, no pro teams.
Our coach is better lookng than theirs.
Am I the only one that's way less nervous when we're big underdogs like this?
HERE WE GO!!!
I'm weirdly becoming more confident that this game will be close and highly competitive.
overcome. Go Blue!
This is it. The end of the road.
This is the last game of the season.
No survive and advance. No worrying about going home early.
There is only one game left, and we are in it.

Easy blow by.
Let Brunson go for it. I'm fine with him shooting 2's all day.
can bury his shoulder in Z and create a foot of space all night, it'll be tough.
BEAUTIFUL
