Classic distortion of thought.<br /><br />UM "dodged two bullets" by retaining a pair of freshmen, and by doing so, will probably earn a bid to the Big Dance next year, as do 6-7 conference teams annually. He should be glad to see his team extend their short streak. But to extrapolate that into MSU missing the tournament is absurd.<br /><br />NOTE: MSU finished the regular season ahead of UM, ranked higher and seeded higher. Michigan loses seven players, including two starters, one of whom was Player of the Year in many polls. Michigan State loses one or two players, including one or two starters, period.<br /><br />The University of Michigan Men's Basketball program has hit the high-water mark under their current coach, and will drop backwards next year. How far remains to be seen. MSU had a similar experience in 2002, after Tom Izzo's sixth year. Matt Painter is going through a similar phenomenon at Purdue. Tubby Smith didn't make it that far.<br /><br />The question isn't whether or not it will happen, but how bad it will be, and whether or not Beilein can pull out of it.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-61649187061680528752013-04-20T13:22:54.241-04:002013-04-20T13:22:54.241-04:00Anonymous - Glad you visit so often.

ANY other program that lost what Ann Arbor lost and has coming back what they have, would be downgraded severely, but not THE MACHINE - THE MARKETING MASTERPIECE. I placed links to the previous posts so you can see the facts if you so choose. You are welcome back any time. Thanks for commenting. Good luck with that lineup next year. Your "hope" is admirable.return2gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627394589459313945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-32583662519341436702013-04-20T12:50:28.455-04:002013-04-20T12:50:28.455-04:00you should save this article and read it next year...you should save this article and read it next year as you sit on the couch with the rest of your team watching michigan in the ncaa tournamentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
