And Doug Gottleib. He's been griping about Tulsa getting in. Just like the Liberty Mutual insurance commercial. Maybe he should have done some research on the teams instead of listening to Lunardi.

Someone on the AAC board said watching Gottleib that he didn't know that Tulsa had beat Wichita State.

Great news. Michigan is very beatable.

that is true, however it is also true that losing to Tulsa would be Michigan's worst loss of the season. Up to now Michigan's worst loss was either @ Ohio State or neutral court vs Connecticut. Michigan has quite a few losses but they are against very difficult competition. Per KenPom they have 10 losses vs top 25 teams, 1 loss @ #32 Wisconsin, and 1 loss @ #70 Ohio State.

We beat 5 teams ((seeds 9-13), & SMU. That obviously meant a lot.
The SMU win in Moody put us over the top. One of the guys in ESPN green room with Tessatore and Kara Lawson thought that was the difference. If people
Are going to *****, ***** about Syracuse getting a 10 seed and not even playing the play in game against Michigan

I think Tulsa's win over Iona was important, when comparing us vs. Monmouth, who was one of the last teams left out. Also, beating a Wichita State team, who was another 11 seed at-large team, didn't hurt.

Just want to apologize WD, I won't be able to meet you at the first found NIT game now like I had originally said I would yesterday.

Ha!
I guess I can let this one slide ;o)

Never would've thought we'd be in the NCAA's after that Memphis game!
Woo-hoo!!!

Sure, you've got a good team. We didn't expect to be playing Rutgers if we made it. But it's not inaccurate to say its a 50/50 game. (Technically 49/51 per KenPom)

All right... I admit it. I threatened to go public with my copy of the "joe mixon" video if Castiglione didn't put us in the dance.
Bro, Boren, Stoops & Castiglione would all be out if that ever happened.
