    Particularly in this day and age of one and dones, freshman starters, and coaching changes. Who had Texas Tech, unranked to begin last season, playing for the Chipper?Or Oregon, preseason ranked #14, dropping out of the Top 25, having to win the Pac 12 title game to get into teh tourney, then making an Elite Eight appearance?

    Up to #4 at that. UNC and Gonzaga both dropped one spot, but MSU and Duke really dropped with MSU now out of the Top 10. I guess it helps losing to Michigan and not Virginia Tech or Stephen F. Austin. That loss by Duke was a stone cold stunner as they dropped 9 spots.

You don't even face that many great teams in a row in March Madness. *IF* they were to beat Louisville on Tuesday, they would have beat barely-outside-the-top-25 Iowa State, #6 UNC, #8 Gonzaga, and #2 (probably #1 come Monday) Louisville all in consecutive games, all within the same week.
    Likely their hardest stretch too? I know that's about like a sweet 16 to Championship game stretch in the tourney for a 4 game stretch.

    So beyond 3 games in 3 days and coming off a 1 point OT game the night before, but the way Gonzaga started they sure looked like they had energy. I was glad to see Kispert get on track after his recent struggles. So far there have only been 2 games with the full zags roster, I can't wait to see Tillie and Watson on the floor together as Watson is a high flyer type.

    The point guard Ravat who's out is from about 7 miles outside of Ellensburg for his High School ball, although the way Ayayi is playing a red shirt year could be nice if needed.

    this team is buying into Howard and martelli... will b a big one on the road at #1

    and don't forget Creighton in that streak

    Gonzaga looked tired today. 11;00 AM didn't help, but the injury to Watson and Ravel out on personal hurt their depth. They also showed my concerns from the earlier games with sloppy/lazy passes on offense leading to too many turnovers. Congrats to Michigan on a huge win and it should be noted the last two champions of the Battle for Atlantis have one the national title.

    All the top 25 teams in the tourney lost, 4 of them in all with Gonzaga, UNC, Oregon, and Seton Hall all losing.

    Michigan absolutely destroys #8 Gonzaga after destroying #6 UNC.... didn't just beat them both but embarrassed and destroyed them both!

    the winner of this tournament has won the past two national championships.... the maize and blue came in unranked and proved to be a level above these "top teams" .. wolverines have proven once again that they are a top five program in the country over the last decade

    they will be top ten this week

    #1 Louisville is next on the u of m mission of making a mockery out of the polls

    Michigan looking awesome to start against Gonzaga. Teske is so good. Nobody gets in the paint and to the rim without a challenge from Teske and I feel like he impacts a *lot* of shots.
    just like our boy on the Pistons he is as dominant as anyone down low but has issues w foul trouble at times
