It's U-M against Juzang.

Ga picked Michigan to win, Would put him in the lead. I'm from Michigan and would like to see them win.

I'm torn.

First MI has to win.

 

[WIMUSKY]

So sloppy play, poor shooting, all the above in the 1st half? Great defense?

U-M's Smith makes me think of Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones.

Well I'm sad U-M lost but glad for my bracket.

Has to be the lowest scoring game in the tournament, maybe for many years.

Amazing that Houston hasn't played a single digit seed yet until next game.

I agree, my wife was confused because I was sort of rooting for UM because of the B1G factor, but sort of rooting for UCLA because of the Tournament Challenge factor ...

It was certainly an interesting game ... good defense, spotty offense ... low scoring (although they ended up scoring more points than it looked like they would after the first 15 minutes of the game). Juzang made the difference for UCLA.

15, 10, 11, 12 ... that is crazy!

For all that was said about seedings at the beginning of the tournament and how they were off, here we are in the final 4 with a 1 v 11 and a 1 v 2. Only 1 team there who was probably not seeded properly, but the way #11 UCLA ended their season, it was hard not to give them a lower seed ... losing 6 of their last 10 games before the tournament (that includes their last 4 games in a row).

They actually played very well in those last 4 games that they lost but I was still very surprised they got in. All 4 teams were the other 4 teams from the Pac12 that made the tournament and we all know they all did pretty well too.

Don't disagree at all ... Pac12 was stacked more than expected ... that is what happens when you end up mostly playing within your conference, you don't get a realistic picture until ... But it was still 4 loses in a row (Colorado by 8, Oregon by 9, USC by 1, and Oregon St by 4 I believe). Those making the seeds have better short term memory than long term ... that is all I was saying.

Yep and all 4 games UCLA was leading at half time. That's why when UCLA was getting beat at half time by Michigan State, I was actually glad they were behind!! Leading at half time wasn't working for them! I didn't expect them in because of those games either.

I was glad when they hired Cronin. All the fickle UCLA fans keep thinking they want this Big name coach like Rick Pitino or others to come there because of the past history and its not going to happen. Coaches don't want to come there because the fans have unrealistic expectations. Cronin is an awesome coach.

Baylor 45 to 20 over Houston at the half. My bracket needs Houston to win. Need a huge comeback but don't think it's going to happen.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Nope, Houston was crushed.. Just got home. Long 3 days of traveling....
Pregame show with Miley. She does have a good voice...
Final 4 is getting fancy...

 

[WIMUSKY]

She needs to collaborate with Stevie on her Midnite Sky song. That would be killer ...

 

[64osby]

Miley covers American Woman by The Guess Who?????

 

[WIMUSKY]

Or Lenny... Lenny does it best...

 

[WIMUSKY]

Looks like bassman is on to something.... Homer can still win even if the Zags lose. But UCLA would have to win it all...

 

[aspeck]

UCLA is playing the Zags better than I thought they would ... Zags leads 45-44 at the half.
