Gotta review that

I feel terrible. I genuinely thought Cronin’s dad was Sister Jean.

Many teams that advance far in the tourney are bound to have a bad game that they have to survive. Looking like Alabama’s.

Also I’m pretending Texas Southern is Michigan’s :laughing:

Definitely off of white. Blue ball.

3839

That’s off Bama

3840

Yes, it did hit the shorts.

3841

The uniform counts, right? UCLA ball.

Neither one of these teams scares me. Alabama is tall-ish on paper, but don’t have anybody over 6’8" playing big minutes. I think Brooks can neutralize Quinerly. They need offensive rebounds and turnovers to thrive, neither of which is happening vs Michigan. They do a good job on 3pt defense, but we don’t really need 3pt volume to win. Should be a big day for Hunter.

Does that ever really work?

“I can’t say definitely that it does” — as the shorts are actually moving.

Not only did the shorts move but the ball actually moved just a bit, too. Slight change of direction.

Unless there was a stiff wind in the arena, that definitely hit his shorts.

I’ve done it successfully, yes. I doubt it would be 100%, but it’s worth a try.

This is so dang obvious. What could possibly be the holdup? Clock?

My fear of Alabama is the same thing that scared me about LSU and that’s them hitting a high volume of 3s regardless of how well Michigan defends them

3850

By physics it hit his shorts!

It should be easy but they probably get it wrong and give it to Alabama

3853

I mean, Michigan is normally excellent at preventing team from shooting threes. I just don’t know what happens if Alabama throws them up anyway, even if Michigan is contesting them well.

hot take, this call doesn’t matter because Alabama will win either way
