I think this Michigan team has been under rated as crazy as that sounds since they been at the top of the polls most of the year. They beat Tennessee by 33 in the regional final. They beat Gonzaga by 40. The same Gonzaga team that beat us by 35. They went 19-1 I think in the Big 10, which...

I remember on these message boards before Mitch was hired, people saying we need a football minded AD, someone outside with no ties to the program, basketball will take care of itself. Well, they got their wish I guess
