U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

I figure the Wolverines will probably be a 10 seed... which is still miles improvement from what they were over the last decade or so.

[gv laker]

It will be interesting to see if they make it and what seed they will land. Their UCLA and Duke victories alone "should" be enough, but who knows sometimes. I hope they make it for no other reason than it is good for the Big Ten.

[The Oracle]

They are in for sure, and I agree with Chemi, they're about a 10 seed.

[Whitley]

Right now the ESPN bracket guy has them as 10 seed facing 7 seed Texas in the first round.

[chemiclord]

Now he has Michigan as a 10 playing 7 seed Marquette.

If I'm a Wolverine fan, I like the draw Lunardi has given them... all of those teams up to Louisville are very beatable if U-M brings their game.

MICHIGAN’S JOHNSON PUTS ON A SHOW

Posted by Aaron Wilson on March 15, 2009, 9:25 a.m.
University of Michigan strongman defensive tackle Will Johnson flexed his muscles at his campus Pro Day in a performance reminiscent of weightlifters Hans and Franz of old Saturday Night Live fame.
Johnson bench pressed 225 pounds a staggering 47 times, according to Gil Brandt of NFL.com. It’s believed to be a record for an incoming NFL draft prospect, according to NFL Draft Scout.
The 6-foot-4, 281-pound defensive lineman ran the 40-yard dash in 5.07 and 5.1 seconds, had a 9-4 broad jump, a 4.61 time in the short shuttle and a 7.5 in the three-cone drill.
Meanwhile, defensive end Tim Jamison ran a 4.95 and a 4.99 in the 40-yard dash with a 4.60 in the short shuttle and a 7.40 in the three-cone drill.


I don't get all giddy about workout numbers....but 47 reps? That impressive

Mississippi st just knocked a bubble team out, ad assuming U-M isn't that team, it probably moves them up a seed.

When are brackets revealed? I thought it was today.

say what?

[Kstat]

they won the SEC tournament. An otherwise-NIT lock got an automatic bid, meaning Tennessee now takes up an at-large spot that was meant for a buble team like St Mary's or Creighton.

Because Mississippi st is such anunderwhelming team, I'd imagine they will be slotted at the tail end of the at-large seeds, below michigan.

[Masspartan]

I'm guess I'm thinking that Mississippi State would take the place of whomever that last bubble team was.

[Masspartan]

Big East with 3 #1 seeds is bullshit.

[Kstat]

hard to argue against any of them.

MSU had a chance to steal a #1 spot but they lost, and Memphis played in a shit conference.

[Kstat]

revealing these brackets spot-by-spot is annoying.
