Karma must have been listening, and sometimes she can be awfully cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michigan didn&#8217;t simply lose the game.  No &#8211; that is not how Karma works.  Karma allowed the Wolverines to jump out to a 60 &#8211; 43 lead on the Hoosiers with about 13 minutes to play.  And then Indiana, a team who had lost 7 of their last 9 games, outscored Michigan 29 &#8211; 9 for the rest of the game to upset Michigan in amazing fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Syracuse without their leading scorer who was suspended for punching a player in the middle of a blowout victory, played extremely competitive against #7 Duke.  The Orange led by 4 at halftime and went up 79-78 when Jimmy Boeheim tipped the ball in with 3 1\/2 minutes to play.  That tip-in might have been the last points that Syracuse score all season, as the Blue Devils finished the game on a 10-0 run to send Syracuse home.  With a 16-17 record, they are likely not even going to be invited to the NIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as you can see, it is super important to stay on Karma&#8217;s good side.  Play the game with passion but with good sportsmanship.  If you don&#8217;t, you never know if you will be next on Karma&#8217;s list.  Thank you, Karma, for showing yourself today &#8211; please let me stay on your good side.  You are wise, wonderful, and powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned in my morning rant about today&#8217;s games that I would not mind if Karma provided Michigan a loss in Coach Howard&#8217;s return due to his horrible sportsmanship at Wisconsin that earned him a 5 game suspension.
