Man, that game was such a gut punch. 23+ foot shot, well contested, against a team that doesn't shoot well from 3, and it goes in to seal Michigan's fate. Kentucky going 7-11 from 3 point range? Harrison going 4-6 from 3 when he's 35% from 3 range on the year? That's the way the ball bounces sometime. Michigan played about as well as they could have, except for some bad 3 point shooting. It was a great effort, though, and Michigan played their hearts out. Morgan and Stauskas were just dominant in the tournament. GRIII played his best in 2 years over the past month. Another Michigan - Wisconsin game would have been so epic.
Oh well. Can't complain about the elite 8 and a Big Ten title by a comfortable margin, especially after losing the national POY in Burke. If GRIII, McGary, and Stauskas all come back next year (unlikely), Michigan might be the national title favorite. Hell, they lost what everybody expected to be the best player this year (McGary) and were still a national title contender. I love Belein.
