I am not even going to watch the last 4 minutes as we are down 16. Michigan has played with more intensity and have had a great balanced attack. We simply can’t guard anyone.

Oh well – still enjoyed my apple pie and pizza. It wasn’t a bad Pi day – other than Purdue losing.

After being up until 2 am yesterday, I am going to use the blowout loss as an opportunity to get some rest. Have lots of analysis to do for my bracketology tomorrow.

A small note – I did make a change to the stats which will be introduced when I pull Friday’s games. I changed the offensive and defensive ratings to be based on pts per possession vs. simply adjusted margin. While it is not exactly the same as some of the other analytics (since I don’t know their way of adjusting for schedule), the numbers are at least closer to what the committee will see (which I hope will help me tomorrow with my analysis). I also added a pace statistic to show whether a team plays faster or slower.

Saturday should be a fun day – with the exception of the 10 semi-final games from the SEC, Big 10, Atlantic 10, Ivy and American, the other 12 games will watch the winner go to the NCAA Tournament. Enjoy the games tomorrow!!!!
