#7 seed Michigan just beat #2 seed Louisville. Louisville played very well, but Michigan just does what it has to do to win.
Michigan 73 Louisville 69-
I thought this year's Michigan team might be one of John Beilein's weaker teams in recent years, but he is such an amazing coach, they always find a way to compete with anyone. Michigan's leading scorer, Derrick Walton, didn't shoot well (3-13) and was held to just 10 points, and second-leading scorer Zak Irvin had just 11. Michigan's big guys stepped up- sophomore Moritz Wagner with 26 points and junior D.J. Wilson with 17.
BTW, Moritz Wagner was only a 2-star recruit out of Berlin, Wisconsin. And even D.J. Wilson was not as highly recruited as most Big Ten players. -
Glad Pitino Lost
I used to root for Louisville because they were in the MVC back in the day. The teams are good. The fans are intense but, sportsman-like, in my experience. I can't root for them because of who is coaching them now.
I'm glad Michigan won.Comment

Pitino is a good coach, but there are the "issues".
Michigan is an easy team to root for. They do not get the highest level elite recruits like some teams do, but Beilein recruits kids to his system, and makes the most of their talent.Comment

Possible upset- South Carolina leads Duke late in 2nd half-
Cincinnati slightly ahead of UCLA late in 1st half-

Beilein has his team in the Sweet Sixteen for the 5th time...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
does anyone else remember just two months ago, when they lost to Illinois, there were Michigan fans calling to fire John Beilein?
But then, almost every year someone wants the guy fired.
gotta wonder what a coach has to do to prove he's a good coach....or are some fans just that stupid....that they'd be willing to risk years of fallout just to fire a coach that will go on somewhere else to take teams to the NCAA & be Coach of the Year?Comment
