March Madness - Wolverines new champs

[Bigs23]

19 points, including a couple big free throws, and hit one of only two 3-pointers that Michigan made all game.

Great move on his part.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Cadeau wins MOP. Jersey in the rafters!

 

[Calheel]

Last 3 were Michigan in 1989, Michigan State in 2000, and Michigan tonight. (I was including this game.) Indiana won the 3 before that for the Big 10 (1976, 1981, 1987).

Oh, that's right.

Michigan State had 79, too.

 

[WaynetheDrain]

Elliott living his best life. Congrats to him. Well-deserved.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Oh, that's right.

Michigan State had 79, too.

Oh yeah. Missed that one. They slipped one in between Indiana’s first two.

 

[Bigs23]

Cadeau as Final Four MOP for Michigan is exactly why Hubert had to go.

I don't agree with this. Guys are moving around these days looking for a bigger payday. This type of thing is going to happen a lot.

Hubert simply didn't win enough.

 

[Centerpiece]

Welp...wish I could call other things the way I called this college basketball season.

You nailed it. Been saying it since December as I recall

Ugly game. Carolina probably should have done more to keep Cadeau, but I think he didn't really want to play with Hubert anymore.

So they should have done more!

 

[Bigs23]

So they should have done more!

Yep, hopefully they have learned that lesson. Spend whatever it takes.

 

[Calheel]

UConn only lost by 6, covering the +6.5 spread. That makes UConn 19-1 against the spread in its last 20 NCAAT games.

Cadeau as Final Four MOP for Michigan is exactly why Hubert had to go.

This has been kind of a rough year to watch the ones who got away:

Elliot Cadeau - 10.3 ppg, 5.9 apg, .379 3pt%, FF MOP

Tyler Nickel - 13.5 ppg, .400 3pt%, .847 FT%

Cade Tyson - 19.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg, .413 3pt%, .822 FT%

Jalen Washington - 8.9 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 1.3 bpg

Ven-Allen Lubin - 13.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg, .668 FG%

Ian Jackson - 9.4 ppg, .900 FT%

Those guys with Wilson, Veesaar, and Trimble would make a pretty good team.

All the takes surrounding Cadeau from this season were shit. It’s not surprising he played well. Was always clearly very talented

At the same time it’s not like it was some total resurgence. It’s called playing with NBA talent. And maturing a year

Have to say Dusty is a genius for the Yaxel/Cadeau pairing. Hard to think of a better fit personality or skill wise

 

[Peppers49]

Cadeau is a great player, but he really needs the right supporting cast around him or his weaknesses get exposed. He’s not the type of player that makes lemons out of lemonade so to speak.

I don’t mean that as a critique or backhanded compliment. If anything his season at Michigan is an indictment of our roster construction the last few years and a testament to how well Dusty May put together that team.

Hubert didn’t get enough out of Cadeau for his talent level (and similarly failed many players) and also tended to choose poorly which players should be kept and which we should let go in the portal (via $$$ priority).

Impossible to make that roster happen in this era.

 

[Calheel]

A painful half a second edit, but the VCU shot made it. At least it wasn't drawn out.

 

[Bigs23]

Round of 64 games without a buzzer beater only make it about 10% of the time. I know UNC increases the odds, but I'm still betting the under.

It was in there but quick and relatively painless.

 

[OMB]

Nice to have guys like Larry Ellison donating his loose change to UofM

 

[Icky Mettle]

Oh, I know. Just interesting to look at.
