Crashing the Dance looks at Michigan’s resume. Takeaway: “The Wolverines’ profile is certainly not strong enough to survive a sub-.500 conference record, and unless one of their remaining wins is agasints Wisconsin, a 10-8 finish might be necessary to absorb an early Big 10 tourney loss.” .. Also, 15% of teams that are .500+ in conference play have not made the NCAA tournament. - U-M’s Novak just fine with fame-by-posterization

Michigan was recruiting Smotherman but this could lead to Purdue falling behind in Zak Irvin’s recruitment as the Boilermakers already have three guards in the class.
