Beilein and staff are at fault for our lack of depth, even if Spike and Caris were..

healthy. Then when you take one or both out of the mix, the lack of dept that has been recruited and/or developed becomes a glaring problem.

Having said that, at 19-8, it is clear as day that with both healthy, or even just Caris, we would likely be a game or two better than 19-8, and certainly would have less disgusting losses by score, especially in the Big Ten.

While one or two games better at this point may not seem like a lot, that will likely be our margin between getting in the tourney or not.

If you ask me, we finish 10-8, go 1-1 in Indy, and end up in the NIT.

UM is going to be in the tourney. Some good wins and no bad losses. The committee doesn't care about blowouts...wins vs. losses. Losing to Xavier, SMU, MSU, Iowa, Purdue are not crimes against humanity. UM loses every game from here on out and they still get in. The committee will also factor in the LeVert factor.


Got a chuckle from some poster who thought the camera angle idea was something that would be concocted by Dave Brandon. LOL. What was ever funnier was to hear Dakich praising it. Thanks Dan.

They aren't getting in if they lose from here on out. 1 win may not even be enough. 10-8 is squarely on the bubble. And committee only going to factor in LeVert factor if he is back and healthy. Which, isn't looking likely. And even with him, what double digit loss that we suffered would he have turned into a W? Sure, no "bad" losses (though Xavier at home when we were ranked about the same as them is debatable given the pollsters expected us to be much better than we turned out to be and we were favored), but no close losses, either. Committee isn't going to be able to look at the losses and the scores and surmise that Caris would have made the difference. Just my opinion, of course.
