F that, go Jayhawks.
First 6pts of the game and it won't matter. He just broke the Barkley curse.
about a grueling quadruple overtime game?
Play late into the night - I got a big bottle of bourbon, a bag of ice, a smile on my face and all the time in the world...
Go Blue!
I hope its at least a grueling game for the winner and takes a lot out of them.
Michigan will be the underdog no matter which team it is, but a win against either is very doable IF we bring our A GAME!!
To be able to sit back and just watch this next game. I think we would match up better against Kansas, but we are going to have to earn it either way on Monday night. Go Blue! And keep wearing the Maize uniforms!!!!
do we go back to blue because we are the lower seed again? im sure we could still wear maize with either kansas or nova in white
Both teams wore their home jerseys in 2013, as I recall.
Yes. And our "maize" is darker now, so it seems like we could do it.
Bruson, Graham, it won't matter. Simpson has to play well for Michigan to win Monday.
While I won't watch this game completely without stress, it is awesome to be able to watch te game knowing that it will decide who we play on Monday and not someone else. I think we a thread on which of these teams people want - I have my own thoughts, but I am interested to hear other opinions.
Bring either of them on. This is Beilein’s time.
Not one coach in this great country deserves a ring more than this man.
would be great. Beat each other up a bit.
I think Kansas is the better matchup. And I think I'd prefer somebody else to take out Nova. But either way, as said previoulsy, it won't be easy. Going to need tonight's last 10 minute shooting performance to stay in it. That same first half will end it. No coming back like that against these two teams...
Watching Azubuike to start this game - just realized next game, the dudes may be a little tougher to get off the boards than the Loyola guys.
We are going to need Wagner and Teske to come up big in the final. And I have no doubt they are up for the challenge!
Probably comes down to the team that makes more 3s, Nova is so good.
nova on fire
Yikes. Villanova is death.
They ain't misiing threes.
Yikes
Wow - Villanova is scary good from 3
What the hell. Are they shooting 3 pointers or 2 pointers? Nova. Crazy.
It's Nova's world, we're just living in it.
is a terrifying matchup. But all of Nova is scary.
On the one hand I agree, but on the other hand, he can't be any more effective against us than Haas was. Him vs. Wagner could be a fascinating matchup
UM won the 2nd half of the game vs Loyola by 19 tonight. What does that tell me? Loyoya didnt deserve to be a final four team. Loyola was the beneficiary of a southern bracket which completely disintegrated. #GoBlue
Villanova or Kansas will be a rude awakening for UM. Kansas is the better matchup for UM. Root for Kansas.
Wow. Villanova is us with really good shooting.
So, not really us.
I don't see myself watching much of this game. Both these teams are playing scary good (especially Nova) and I'd rather feel happy right now.
doesn't seem to be affecting nova's shooting.
Blaming the dome for bad shooting was a stupid excuse to begin with.
It's a pretty commonly stated fact by players that the dome affects site lines and has weird perspectives. Loyola was off too
Someone forgot to mention that to Nova's players apparently.

I think there is data out there that proves the dome thing is a myth when it comes to shooting.
Either way, we haven’t really shot well this tournament (with the exception of the TAM game). So, just hoping we do what we did against the Aggies on Monday. Looks like we’ll play Nova and we’ll need quite the performance to pull that off.
Tommorrows drill for michigan: Practice 3s - all day. Also how does Nova have these players???Cheating?
They can do it all, damn their good.
My scrotum tightened up watching Villanova
Buckle in.. they're still playing!
First 5 minutes - Villanova doing to Kansas what we did to Texas A&M. Man...
Hopefully that means they come out ice cold on Monday, like we did against Florida St.
We're playing with house money now.
It's a good thing, because all that's open now is the $10,000 table.
Help me..who do we matchup better with?..if Nova Wins there will be alot of tickets available which Michjigan fans will gobble up givi ng us ahome court advantage Im guessing
We might need to hit 90.
You scary
BUT get this out of their system tongiht..usually dont get two consecutive shooting nights like this...like Texas AM
I haven't bought kansas as a 1 seed all year - this game is all confirmation bias so far
as always Self-destructingSelf
This Gillespie dude a Archirdiacano lookalike. Also, I thought Divincenzo was a starter?!
Nova is THAT GOOD.
Divincenzo was a starter when Booth was injured.
Villanova is a better version of Beilein's 2013 team except even better at 3s.
They even got their own Trey Burke in Jalen Brunson.
I agree on Nova, they look unstoppable and are hitting their threes.
That said, Kansas did have the weakest defense by all advanced metrics coming into the Final Four, and it wasn't very close either. Some of their shots look pretty uncontested to me. I have a feeling they won't have that much success on our defense, though they certainly will have their fair share. I still think we have a fair shot if we bring our A game and play defense like there's no tomorrow. GO BLUE!!!
