It will be a 9PM Friday night start for #22 Michigan in BTT quarterfinals.

Still feel like a win or two this weekend or next would really make this season feel like a success even though by getting a double bye in Indy and at least a six seed (Lunardi) in the NCAA Tournament it already is.

Whoever they draw in the quarterfinal they have a decent opportunity to beat. Purdue (-2.5-5.5?) might be a slight favorite. Michigan would be a small favorite vs Rutgers or USC.

Lately, the only dependable player has been Vlad. They’ll have four days of practice in between the last game and Friday’s.

Spoke with someone recently that goes to practice. His opinion is that this team isn’t over all that good with some of the fundamentals. Pointed to guys really needing to get coached (besides Cheddar) on rebounding. Said this group would really benefit from some Beilein type passing instruction. Apparently, Beilein put lots of emphasis on delivering the ball.

Great time of year. This team has looked flawed all year long but to its credit they kept winning until lately.
