@MichiganWings Fans of teams that make Final Fours and/or regularly win the real conference championship call it “the final day of an exhibition showcase.” Shameless to still put weight in this exhibition event after you guys won the real Big Ten title this year. Figured that would’ve changed.

@JustinThind Michigan fans call today championship Sunday.

It’s finally here. Selections Sunday is upon us. This morning’s Bracketology Round-Up is out now! Looking at the nation’s most accurate predictors (and Joe Lunardi), there appears to be a consensus re: MSU’s: - seed line - region - 1-seed pairing READ: 247sports.com/college/michig…

@ACumbow Curious to see if the actual bracketologists follow suit or not. The community being divided on a 2-line or 3-line for a team of this profile would be relatively surprising, if I’m not mistaken on my recollection of years past. So, something would have to give.

Lunardi isn’t very good at this but I would hate this draw for MSU. I know the BTT doesn’t usually matter but hypothetically, they could easily have two brackets…one where MSU is a 2 if Michigan wins today and one where Purdue is a 2 if they win today and they’d just flip spaces based on the result.

@nolan_mikowski Can’t speak to the versus Buffalo part of your question tbh, but first round in Philly is what I said in the piece the “consensus” is pointing towards!

@JustinThind What do you think the chances are of first round in Philly vs Buffalo?

@tysonm266 @SpartanTailgate Huh

@JustinThind @SpartanTailgate So a 4 seed. Got it

@JimmyKempski Par for the course for Schefty

Schefter's home inspection analogy is ridiculous. The Ravens' awareness of Crosby's injury is analogous to a home issue being clearly revealed in a seller's disclosure document. But Schefter is acting here like the Ravens were like, "Oh gee whiz, what's this in his knee?"

No real flow to the action, but pretty entertaining 1st half by Michigan State - Michigan. Both coaches have a lot to pick apart in that locker room. Should lead to a great second half. UM’s student section has been good, but the mid & upper tiers only came alive to boo Fears.
