town today, desperate to keep their fading hopes for an NCAA bid alive.
They lost by a bucket at the Illini on Wed. in a game that they rallied the whole second half only to fall short with a shot off the rim at the buzzer.
I have to say, Michigan has really impressed me this year.
Youngest team in the league,they have started 3 frosh,a soph and junior many times.
Honestly,I think they have at least 3 NBA prospects with a possible 4th in Morris,Hardaway,Morgan,and Smotryz.
Beilein has done an impressive job here of not only getting talent,but in getting talent who slot nicely into their positions at pg,sg,c,and sf. These 4 are all pro sized guys at their positons.
Almost 4 years ago, Iowa,Michigan and Minny went looking for coaches for their bb programs.
The verdict is in...Iowa chose the worse fit.
Minny is on the verge of their 4th straight 20 win season and maybe their 3rd straight NCAA bid....Minny had never had 3 straight 20 win seasons before Tubby...nuff said.
Michigan has had one NCAA bid and looks like they could be an early sleeper pick to contend for the Big Ten next year.
Iowa? No autopsy required on the Lick era...self-explanatory.
So, today's game could end up being tough on the Hawks.
Hawks need to light it up from the perimeter and hope to get out early on this young Michigan team. They did not wilt in those circumstances vs the Illini ,but maybe today they could....lets hope. Otherwise,they could humble us today yet again. On paper,they got us at every position but power forward. Mel has got to have a big day..
Go Hawks,beat the Wolves!!
