It is possible if we win tomorrow that Nevada will be the highest seeded opponent we will have to beat on our way to the final four. In the worst case scenario as things stand we will have to beat a five seed in Kentucky to make the final four but it is possible tomorrow is our toughest game till Xavier.

Houston passing up shots to go inside and get Michigan’s big men in foul trouble. Refs are not cooperating.

Xavier has to get by Gonzaga and possibly North Carolina before they get to the Final Four, and both of those teams are at least as good as Xavier. I think it would be pretty sweet if Houston got to the Elite Eight and knocked Xavier out of the tournament. As fun as it would be to dispatch Xavier in their first Final Four appearance, I would rather them never get that far.

just a brutal loss for Houston. Davis made his first 8 free throws of the game. Missed 3 of 4 in the final minute.

I agree the refs were def trying to help Michigan. That being said, make your free throws and your moving on. Poor Houston, rough way to lose.

No foul by Butler. Smh. Would've been 1 and 1. College teams and clock management.

Ithink fouling in the tournament is the answer, seen a lot of missed free throws when the pressure is on. Houston comes to mind. I would foul on a heart beat, while I would try to put the opposite teams worst free throw shooter at the line, it has shown historically it doesn't matter who goes. A ton of nerves in the last second freebies.
