Preseason Expectations

For starters, I said Texas would be in the NCAA Tournament. Was I wrong or are you lying?

True or False mpbear14:

You wanted Beilein fired prior to the 2012/2013 season.

I predicted Michigan would improve upon their 2014-15 record (16-16) by 6 games. I assumed they would have a healthy Caris and Spike.

Can somebody explain to me why people thought a player having double hip surgery in the summer was going to be able to return and give Michigan minutes this past year? I am on board with Levert being injured hurting the team in certain ways. I didnā€™t expect anything out of Albrecht double hip surgery isnā€™t like having bone chips taken out of your knee.

Very reasonable conclusion. I suppose I only had expectations, because (like every other injury x expectation management situation), JB sounded as though he expected contributions. I honestly think he believed it too, b/c if he shared your view (which i will say again is very reasonable), and had an open scholarship, one would think he would have gone out and got a grad transfer to avoid overworking DW or giving Dakich too many mins.

Actually, that would be interesting to know. If Bear was calling for Beileinā€™s head at that stage we know he just had it out for him. Can disregard a little more fully. Heā€™s gonna owe me $100 at the end of next season, anyway. :slight_smile:

Dylan hit pretty close on Wisconsin.

I was way off on Wisconsin. I looked like I nailed Wisconsin in OOC and then, like clockwork, Wisconsin does their Wisconsin crap in Big Ten play and March.
