I'd like to see UM go dancing this year. They'll face a tough game in round one if they do, but . . . I guess anything can happen in March! I just hope they play one game at a time, try not to get overconfident, and take a note from the boys up the road in the East Lansing. The Spartans seem to have perfected the art of the tournament, and UM would benefit by following their example of a consistent blue-collar attitude, selfless basketball, and playing with heart.

I expect UM to beat Iowa, but we need to play well. We don't need to have a game like Purdue, just another effort like the one against Minnesota. A good solid basketball game. Make enough threes and limit the turnovers. And for God's sake, cover Jake Kelly! I like UM over Iowa, just don't be overconfident. Go Blue! Like everyone has said, this will be a very exciting BTT.

Cyrus Tate played 42 mins vs PSU Saturday. He made 7 of 9 shots for 15 points, and had 10 Rebs. NO ONE SHOULD TAKE IOWA LIGHTLY. El Capitan, good question above…

This is the most anticipating BTT ever with so many good teams from top to bottom. Almost every game is a toss up. Most write M in already but beating Iowa will lock it. Penn State needs to beat Indiana for the least. Minnesota needs a win over NW. NW needs a win over Minnesota and a win over the Sparty. very exciting time!

I think they are more on the bubble than Minny, who would I consider in the "likely" range. If Minny beats NW, I believe their in. As stated by some of you, Penn State is not even close to a lock.

If you look at the numbers there's no way K-State, Florida, or Minnesota should be in over UM. UM has a better RPI, SOS, and last 10 then K-State and Florida and has a practically idential resume to Minnesota, except that they beat them twice. Honestly just looks like low quality work.
