I still have to see the Fab 5?
How do people not realize UNLV was better and so was 96 Kentucky.
What an overrated team due to a catchy nickname. My god it’s more than 30 years ago. Enough.
@MitchMossRadio Born in 1976, Anyone 12-16 years old during those 2 seasons knows why they are historically significant, and it has nothing to do with records, wins, losses, or rings. Duke UNLV Michigan all loaded . For 2 seasons and beyond, they polarized attitudes re: hoops, clothing, shoes.
My Top 5 #UofM hoopsters during my roughly 40 years of fandom:
1 CWebb:Utter dominance in the post
2 G Rice:Purest shooter in uofM history
3 Terry Mills:Invented the stretch 4 spot in the Mitten
4 Jalen Rose:so much swagger & ahead of his time at pg
5 Trey Burke:Coldblooded
If you are running 3-guard lineups late 80s era beats Fab 5 era because Rumeal, Gary “The General” Grant & “Judge” Joubert would be the 3 man best backcourt in the league maybe the nation, all due respect to JRose, JKing and Lakers GM Rob Pelinka who was a real baller by the way

Most remember the final game, but don’t sleep on the wild semifinal game with Indiana & UNLV. The Hoosiers outlasted the Runnin’ Rebels 97-93.
Indiana had plenty of OH flavor with Rick Calloway (Withrow), Steve Eyl (Badin), & Dave Minor (Purcell Marian).
Gasoline is considerably cheaper per gallon today than it was 18 years ago, adjusting for inflation.
So why does everybody piss and moan about it like it’s expensive?
@Brett_A_Taylor The still shot of Aramis getting to home plate with Soriano jumping spread eagle is one of the best pics in Cubs history. Second only to 2016 celebration
@CBBheadquarters I’d replace UConn vs Duke with High Point vs Arkansas. The UConn/Duke game was not that good until the last 3 seconds. Tons of turnovers by Duke, horrible shooting by UConn
Top 5 March Madness games so far:
1. UConn vs Duke
2. Nebraska vs Vanderbilt
3. Kentucky vs Santa Clara
4. VCU vs North Carolina
5. High Point vs Wisconsin
What other games did it for you?
@CBKReport It was certainly a great turnaround, but since Michigan is historically a top 10-15 program, it loses some of the pop. If he did this at Minnesota, Northwestern, or Nebraska it would be a much bigger deal
We knew Dusty May was a wagon after he took FAU to their first ever Final 4 in 2023, but I don’t think anybody expected a turnaround as good and as FAST as this.
- 2023: 18-16 (11-9 Conference)
- 2024: 8-24 (3-17 Conference)
• Dusty May hired:
- 2025: 27-10 (14-6 Conference)
Big Ten Tournament Title 🏆
Sweet 16 Appearance
Tied for the biggest one year turnaround in NCAA Basketball history.
- 2026: 35-3 (19-1 Conference)
Big Ten Title (outright) 🏆
*Final 4 Appearance*
He’s only 49, too. The B1G will be in HELL for 20+ years.
@kohanimknows4@GoodmanHoops Wasn’t there about 15 seconds left? I don’t recall for sure, but wasn’t the errant pass from Fred Brown to Worthy after that?
WHERE DOES BRAYLON MULLINS BUZZER-BEATER STAND AMONG THE TOURNEY ALL-TIMERS?
Gotta be top 10
- Villanova’s Kris Jenkins shot to win the 2016 national title
- Duke’s Christian Laettner in 1992 vs. UK in Elite Eight
- Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs to beat UCLA in 2021 Final Four
- San Diego State’s Lamont Butler to beat FAU in 2023 in Final Four
- Braylon Mullins in to beat Duke in 2026 Elite Eight
- UNC’s Luke Maye to beat Kentucky in 2017 Elite Eight
- Duke’s Christian Laettner to beat UConn in 1990 Elite Eight
- NC State’s Lorenzo Charles dunk to win the 1983 national title
- Valpo’s Bryce Drew to upset Ole Miss in 1998 first round
- UCLA’s Tyus Edney’s coast-to-coast layup to beat Missouri in the second round in 1995
Illinois… Path to the Final Four:
• 14-seed Penn
• 11-seed VCU
• 2-seed Houston
• 9-seed Iowa
UConn… Path to the Final Four:
• 15-seed Furman
• 7-seed UCLA
• 3-seed Michigan State
• 1-seed Duke
Not all paths are created equal.
Don't be surprised if we get the game of the tournament in Arizona vs Michigan as the 6:09 pm ET Final Four opener.
If Duke wins today, CBS may opt for Duke in the primetime 8:49pm ET main event slot vs Illinois due to superior draw power.
