I’d say we are a good team sometimes, but too inconsistent. We have bad losses to bad teams, too.

ESPN has us as the 8 seed in Duke’s region. Ugh. Saving grace is that we’d play in Greenville.

Shock the world baby, shock the world
also I love how we have all convinced ourselves we win the 8/9 game no problem lol
We are due for a tourney win

Just looked it up 33% of our wins in the tournament have been against a #1 seed...

So 2 of our 6 wins total, which were before tournament expanded to 64 teams when we made the final four 
Not saying we couldn’t pull an upset. If we have our best game shooting, stay out of foul trouble and a team is “off” - see Florida yesterday vs Vandy, we could potentially pull it off. Though, based on what I’ve seen from the top 4 this season, this is highly unlikely.
I mean, look what NC State did a couple years ago. Or VCU or Loyola. It can happen, it’s what makes the tournament special. But if we are talking history - the 8 seed has only beaten the 1 seed 15 times since 1985 when the tournament expanded. That’s under 10% of the time an 8 seed has advanced to the Sweet 16. Higher than one would think, but still crazy unlikely.
Hopefully we get a nice matchup vs our 9 in round 1 and can advance to give ourselves a shot at the 1 seed. Would be exciting to get our 7th ever win in NCAAT history

Avoiding the 8/9 line in Duke's region is a good thing. Playing them in Greenville might as well be the same as playing them in Durham.

I’m thinking we get in Michigan or Arizona’s region. Surprised that UCLA got a 7 and Louisville got a 6. Holding out hopes some of our quality wins gets us a 7 seed.
Posted on 3/15/26 at 5:13 pm to Kneehigh
Whew… avoided Arizona too.
Posted on 3/15/26 at 5:14 pm to Kneehigh
Btw… a potential Arizona-Arky matchup is tits

Missouri being a 10 seed probably means we're a frigging 8 or a 9.
Posted on 3/15/26 at 5:20 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
I fear you’re right. Probably in Michigan’s region smh.

Definitely Michigan's region. Committee won't make a 1 seed potentially play a conference rival on the first weekend.

frick a Biliken
This should be winnable. ( I know nothing about them)
Michigan is a wagon but this is March.
Will try to find a vegas line for St Louis game

8 seed playing 9 St. Louis. I think we can beat them.
Posted on 3/15/26 at 5:25 pm to VADawg
UK getting a 7 is kinda wild

St. Louis' nonconerence schedule was even way more chickenshit than ours, which makes their 28-5 less impressive. Lost by 29 to George Mason a few weeks ago, so that's good too. They like to run and their style of play is called Something Ball (whatever their coach's name is, which means they play uptempo.
Clark Kellogg just said "this Michigan team is valuable and rattled off the name of some Michigan player.
