I don’t feel strongly about this game but I think Michigan will be a better matchup against UConn so I’m pulling for them…

UConn and Duke have been more successful programs than us the last 35 years.
I have no idea how UConn has done what they have done. It’s mind boggling.
Nowhere near as good as the last two teams. They also should’ve beat Illinois by 20+ the way Illinois played. They looked like hot garbage. All game.
Whoever wins this game we will root for to beat UCONN but that sure is going to be sickening for me if it is Michigan
Arizona better get it rolling or this might get away from them
It’s early but Michigan routing Zona without Yaxel is crazy.
We were so far behind talent wise this year
AZ keeps dribbling into a crowd. Refs aren’t calling many fouls, and that favors Michigan.
They are, pretty much, the only school in the populated northeastern part of the country.
I think that really helps them.
Going after Hurley was stupid. There’s no reason to go to UK after winning two titles at UConn. Drew was a crap choice too but safe.
There is no scenario where Mark Pope should’ve been considered for this job. There’s no way you can tell me there weren’t at least 10 other guys who would’ve accepted and been better than Pope.
There were which is why I refuse to accept that Barnhart actually tried. He didn't. He's far too milk toast for his own good
Just curious, has anybody seen another palming or carrying the ball call since Kentucky had that called a couple of weeks ago? Both teams are doing it right now. That happens to Kentucky last year in the tournament too. I never saw it called again after that either.
I truly believe that pitino and pearl would have crawled over broken glass and coals to coach here. I don't believe that they're too old. BUt now it's very likely , we've missed our chance on them ... at least Ptino with his extention
Michigan gets their hands on every ball on defense. So good.
It has become commonplace nowadays to palm the ball. It’s only called when it’s egregious. Bunch of crap, but I’m old.
Michigan winning the battle of styles so far. They aren’t afraid to take the 3, and they’re making a decent number of them so far. Arizona wants everything to come from the paint, but haven’t yet figured out a way to get there with Michigan packing it in on defense.
They’re not beating either of these two teams playing right now. Just not gonna happen. I’m lmao because they’re a Johnny come lately. Before 1999, they made ONE FF. Made only eight in their entire history. They’ve made fourteen elite eights, about a THIRD of what Kentucky has made all time. We’ve made more FFs than they have EEs. We’ve made more elite eights than any other program has sweet 16s. They PALE in comparison all time. That’s why I LMAO at that comment. Nice smart *** comment, however.
This was my other fear... and it just happened.. an injury to one of the teams best player before having to play Uconn.
Damn. Dude smacked the **** out of Yaxel. You could hear that **** plain as day.
How does that possibly help them? They don’t have a single player from the northeast on the roster.
Lol exactly what I thought when it happened. The luck UConn gets man...
This year lol I reckon this is the only year in which they’ve played D1 basketball.
What would that offer be? 15M? I mean Kerr is making 17.5M. There are NFL coaches not making that. I'm not opposed to it per se, but I don't think UK can afford a 15M a year coach AND payoff Stoops and Pope buyouts.
Whatever they want. I'm dine accepting mediocrity. I hope the rest feel the same its the only way we get out of this
I don't know why I'm arguing. Some here will fight for Pope even if he bombs next season.i don't understand it.
We're not made of money dude. Thats the problem.
So we just give up and pray Pope miraculously wakes up Hurley 2.0? I wont accept mediocrity why do you?
now UConn is gonna get Michigan with a hurt Yaxel
Zona made a run and Michigan answered right back.
Final Four games have been dog crap
Final Four games have been dog crap
What happened to Yaxel ? I see he is going to locker room I have not watched entire game.
It just be UCONN's luck for Michigan to win and Yaxel can't play in title game.

Every time I watch Michigan play, Morez Johnson is always an unsung hero. Grabbing tough rebounds, making a defensive play, getting a 50/50 ball.
Wow this is setting up perfectly right now for UConn - Michigan winning and Yaxel hobbled
