Indiana vs. Michigan thread
I hope that IU drops to a 2 or 3 seed so very few people end up picking them to win it all (obviously most people just go with a 1 seed) b/c there is a very strong chance I, too, will pick them to go all the way.
Quality play at the point, wing, and post. Big time combo of athleticism and shooting ability. That's a team that's built to go all the way.
I hoping Zeller goes nuts so people on this site can stop questioning how good he is.
Meanwhile Oladipo is gonna get a lot of looks in the second round.
Edit- Oladipo is looking like Shumpert on a team with better talent than Georgia Tech.
Trey Burke is the best player in the country. No hi ranked team gets more contribution from a single player than Michigan from Trey Burke. Without Burke I don't know how good they would be.... imagine they had Ryan Harrow, how hi would they be ranked?
Anyone saw Burke play defense?
Miles Plumlee actually was measured with a longer wingspan and standing reach than Tyler Zeller last year. Remember that Cody Zeller and Marshall Plumlee both were measured as having wingspans well below their height at a camp a few years ago. Guessing Cody and Mason have fairly similar dimensions, even if Cody is a bit taller.
Mason is more than likely the better athlete in the conventional sense, just does not have close to the touch or ability that Zeller has. I know Mason has had a great season, just think even with his athleticism, Zeller has much more of a feel for the game as well as a higher NBA ceiling. The Zeller bros. are flat out more skilled than the more athletic bros. Plumlee, but they all have T-Rex arms.
Anyone else going for Michigan? I just like Trey Burkes game and his ability to control a game and hold onto the ball in the final minutes.
