If there were a "surging force" I'd pick at the moment to do some serious damage in the Dance, it would be the Wolverines.

Beilein can flat-out coach, and they are on fire right now. The only thing that might hurt them is the long layoff before the tourney.

Don't look now, but they're 3 slots ahead of KU in KenPom now (#9 to our #12), and their adjusted defense ranking is #6 as opposed to our pedestrian #45.

I do not like Michigan (at all), but they are scary.

"In" or "On," it's all good. :-)

That's what happens when you type on a very small phone keyboard.

I posted this 2 1/2 weeks ago, and it's on scary display tonight.

It'll be 12 wins in a row after tonight, and counting...

Dangerous, dangerous team.

Yep. Possible that whatever rust they had from the long layoff was shaken off after the first two NCAAT games. Sure looked like a well oiled machine tonight. FWIW, my bracket has KU beating them in the final.

Fingers crossed!

I like the way you think.

Payback for Trey Burke. And another KU ring!
