Final: Michigan 74 Bradley 66

[Braves2011]

I'm not sure if Michigan realizes this but they only beat us by 11. I think this year could be closer since we have improved from last year and the bench is a little deeper.

Michigan has also improved.

I don't see Bradley keeping this at 10 or fewer points.

It's sad, historically were not too different, but since the players were born in the 90's...

Michigan from their media guide:
1989 National Champions | 1984 & 2004 NIT Champions | 19 NCAA Tournaments | 4 Final Fours | 13 Big Ten Championships
27 All-Americans | 6 Academic All-Americans | 22 All-Big Ten First Team | 51 NBA Draft Picks | 20 NBA First Round Selections

And if I looked it up correctly:
Bradley
1950 Final AP#1 / NIT champions 1957, 1960, 1964, 1982 / 8 NCAA tournaments / 2 NCAA Final Fours / 16 MVC Championships / 15 all-Americans / 2 academic All Americans / 45 All- MVC 1st team / 18 NBA draft picks / 6 NBA first round picks

I feel dumber for reading all that yapping. I didn't bother to check, but is there any actual intelligent discussion anywhere on that site?

Couple things. The Bradley post were deleted ? Was something else said, if the original post was deleted that is one of the lamest things I have ever seen on a board.

I have no problem with them thinking they will kill us. But they should have some clue what they are talking about with Bradley. Nobody has a clue. I am not saying they should know specifics of Bradley history. But there are some much smaller schools than Bradley that we play sometimes. I could at least tell you where most of them were located. And I have some idea if a team was in the NCAA tourney sometime in the last 10-15 years. OK 15 to 20 years.

I like the Michigan basketball team, but their fans are the same as the football fans from up there. They think everyone wishes the were going to Michigan.

If we were ranked#4 and were going to play a team that won just 7 games last season, don't you think some of our posters would be just as obnoxious? Let's hope they think different after Saturday.

As a Notre Dame fan, I would just ask them how they felt after 5 straight turnovers at the game this year (4 by their beatified Denard).... or how they felt after the loss to Ohio State Just like I'll ask any SC fan how they felt losing to Cal and Notre Dame back to back this year hehehe. Michigan Fans don't know squat. You can ask the random guy in Michigan Face pain that sat among about 4K Notre Dame fans that was cheering like a student who left at halftime. Beat SC UM!

and this team is 15 points better than last years team... so we win by 4?

Moral Victory?

This is a much better team than the one that beat us by 11 last year. Something to do with high skilled players getting to know each other better. I'm hoping that we score more than 60 and less by less than 20.

I know coaches flower it up when they come in to these situations but Beilein laid it on a little think didn't he?..........I hope we haven't forgotten how to be loud like he thinks we are.

Those were some big bouquets he was tossing.

Yeah, well they probably will be us by double digits. But you can bet their coach will not let their players come into this game with an attitude like their posters! That's a receipe for disaster if they take us lightly.

Line opened -13.5....has moved to -12.5. Looks like the public likes Bradley to keep it close-ish. Boise st were 13 point dogs against Creighton the other day..and we know how that turned out. I honestly think we have a pretty serious chance in pulling off a huge upset. Keep in mind these top tier teams do not usually play away games in November/December, so this is kind of uncharted territory for Michigan. Lets see what happens!
