There are two big matchups tomorrow, back to back on FOX. First #16 Louisville @ #17 Tennessee (11am) and then #11 Iowa @ #1 UConn.
Both were blowouts.

I’m hoping that 6-5 UT-ARLINGTON gives LSU a game so Michigan can move up in the polls. I don’t expect to get my wish.
LSU plays their first ranked opponent tonight, going up against #11 Kentucky.
Illinois is on the verge of upsetting #7 Maryland. They’re up 3 with 15.6 to go.
Wow. A moving screen was called and it looked like the screener was set. Illinois ball.

That moving screen call was unbelievably bad. But hoping this is the best result for Michigan.

Oh, wow. Maybe a good (accurate) travel call there? Maryland misses anyway!
Now they can switch to the Michigan game.

I really hate watching every other Big Ten program lap Michigan in attendance and visible support. Michigan’s women’s basketball is at its unquestionable height and yet they still can’t draw a good crowd.

Feels like from my view in general all Michigan sports outside of hockey and football are pretty subpar overall attendance wise? Tons of Schools have huge crowds at volleyball games. Some have big WBB crowds though that’s more of a mixed bag. It’s really hard to consistently get to the is level without an equal measure of fan support

Softball does well. It would do even better if the season started 6 weeks later.
Kentucky took down LSU last night on a buzzer-beating 3.

Michigan baseball went to the CBWS and still couldn’t draw a crowd post-CBWS season. They were nowhere near the top 50 in the country in attendance.
Michigan fans pretty much only cared about Football, MBB and Hockey.
Softball does seem to outdraw baseball and for some reason, their start times almost always overlap when they’re both at home. But, baseball too is a victim of the weather. I’m not saying they would sell out but games played in the 60-70 degree range sure are more appealing than ones in the 40’s.
baseball is what it is. big ten schools don’t care about it. it’s a purely southern and west coast thing. that’s fine. the volleyball thing is very different, that’s absolutely massive at several B1G schools. I watch a lot of NCAAVB with my wife so I think I just would like UM to be more relevant there

Exactly, fans (aka Warde haters) are mad at Warde for not keeping Bakich, but Clemson is absolutely a better job than Michigan for baseball.
