ReplyDeleteDoes the league championships include both regular season and B1G tournament? I bet the record disparity would be even wider in conference play since MSU played so many tough non-league games while Ann Arbor was playing no-names and racking up wins.
ReplyDeleteThe league championships noted at the time of your comment were for the REGULAR SEASON only. I will check the record for the conference tournament and possibly update the article.
DeleteYou are totally correct on one aspect of your question. In all of those seasons that UM played in the NIT, they got plenty of extra wins against non-NCAA-Tournament teams.
There is a banner for the regular season.

Until March Madness starts, there are no banners for OOC success.
