Michigan's Back in the Big Dance

Sunday was a long day for the Wolverines as they contemplated if their season-long resume would be enough for the ten-member selection committee.  CBS did not make matters easier when they lengthened the show to two-hours.  Thankfully, the internet came through and a leaked bracket revealed that Michigan would be an 11 seed playing in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio.

U-M will play Tulsa on Wednesday in a First Four matchup.

Tulsa is a team with strong guard play who dropped some games against mediocre opponents.  Many were surprised to see Tulsa even make the field.  Michigan **should** get by Tulsa and advance to Friday's match-up in Brooklyn against Notre Dame.  

In his 8 season in Ann Arbor, John Beilein has led the Wolverines to 6 NCAA Tournament appearances.  Many this year have called for the coach to be on the "hot seat."  When you consider that Michigan lost 1/3 of it's best talent this year in Albrecht and LaVert, and still found a way to make it back to the tournament, you realize how ridiculous those cries are.  

Here's to another March!
