I doubt Michigan will go far in the tournament this year. (sorry Bluenote!!) Their front court is really lacking. They're playing Stausky, Tim Hardaway Jnr. and Glen Robinson III at the SG, SF and PF positions. GRIII is strong, but he is 6'5.

In the Wisconsin game, Michigan really got abused down low - basically Wisconsin just kept dumping the ball down low to their PF/C and watch as Michigan tried to guard them. Against any team with a decent front court I think they'll struggle.

Good stuff. Hope you're right, and it seems like you could be. What's your prediction? Sweet Sixteen?

Yes, and it'll get too tough for them from there on.

Good for us though re Burke, but it's bittersweet for me as I've become a fan following Burke this season.. LOL

I still can't believe Cal's credence isn't enough to get them into the tourney. They could have done some damage. Now I think it's pretty clear WCS won't declare, unless he got a promise from a team?

Its a double-edged sword. On one hand the committee wants UK in because the fans travel the best of any team inbthe country. On the other.. every body knows this and it makes it highly political. Regardless, we didn't deserve in.

No, never lol. Just a hunch from watching highlights. Just a gut feeling from those highlights, and see some Lawson in him.

Hard to take any prediction serisouly when you haven't watched a guy play a game yet. You are venturing into Wesmantooth/Tony Mitchell territory.
 
Burke vs. Wolters is clearly the must see game, but here’s a few more PG related things to watch for in the tourney:

Whoever wins the Burke vs. Walters matchup will likely face VCU in the next round with its reputation for turnover-inducing pressure defense.

MCW (Syracuse) vs Montana tough-defending guards (esp. Will Cherry) in a first round game. Remember Montana was one reason many people couldn’t quite wrap their heads around Damien Lillard as a legit prospect last year. Lillard just didn’t really have good games against them, nor could Weber beat Montana when it counted.

If Marcus Smart and OK St win their first two games (no sure thing, since they’ll be a #5 seed), they’ll likely face the same Louisville defense that obliterated MCW & Syracuse in the second half of the Big East Championship.

I think Olynyk is in play for the Jazz pick if Burke is gone. People rip him for his low rebounding but he only plays 25 minutes a game. No one knows his measurements yet wingspan wise, but he does look a legit 7' with shoes.

Offensively Olynyk plays like Marc Gasol. He can pass and score from all over. Doesn't seem to be moving fast or look pretty but he gets the job done.
 
I love Burke as a college player but watching him closely lately his court vision is not all that great hes more of a combo guard and at 5'11 that doesnt excite me much..

Id rather Kabongo i think his "upside" is higher he has a little Rondo in him

Primary ball handler in a pick and roll based offense with an A/TO ratio of over 3.5/1 is a combo guard? Whatever you say.
