@NastyIsland Very poor Michigan turnout here. There were 10s of thousands in Indy.

North Dakota fans are EVERYWHERE...and they seem like a lot of fun!

@SchlossmanGF Better than St Louis, not close to Tampa, Boston, St Paul though. Didn’t see any signs at airport. Ticketing a disaster. They have one of the teams staying at the Rio. The Rio!!! Can we try Detroit sometime soon?

Yes, needs to be back here often.

@chnews @matthew_auch @SchlossmanGF PT time?

Expected guests for Thursday's pre-game (3-5 ET) show include: Cary Eades - North Dakota nat'l champ Rick Gotkin - Former Mercyhurst coach @matthew_auch - Mich. Daily @SchlossmanGF and more Tune in live through our YT Channel or at CHN collegehockeynews.com/ontheair/

@TheAthletic @joerexrode

Mid-majors having their rosters raided and having less of a chance to do special things in March, that’s a trend. This was just a bad draw, writes @joerexrode. Read for free ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/71774…

Michigan delivered a championship performance. But March Madness didn’t deliver a championship moment. A dominant title run capped “just not a very good NCAA Tournament.”

@chnews PT?

CHN will again be LIVE at the Frozen Four, from the T-Mobile Arena concourse, with our 2-hour National Championship pre-game show. It starts at 3 p.m. ET/2 CT. collegehockeynews.com/ontheair/

@matthew_auch lol, is the entire hockey universe at the Park MGM?

Boots on the ground

@ToddMilewski Perfect. Thank you!

@ampitts Open today

Practices and press conferences coming today at T-Mobile Arena.

@Johnubacon Just back in town long enough to pick up my signed copy this morning from Pages. Thank you for the kind words @johnubacon. And just like that, back to the Airport!

I know there’s a certain intercollegiate basketball game, but I had a book talk at the great Pages bookstore in Manhattan Beach. SRO crowd bought all the books. I assured them first halves of basketball games done matter. I was wrong. (Holy smokes!)

With Michigan winning it all in basketball Monday night and hockey headed to the Frozen Four, I’ve been thinking about what it took to get here. The adversity that Michigan Athletics was forced to deal with recently caused many to attack the AD publicly and in secret. Being from an era where that type of behavior wasn't tolerated, that never sat well with me. Despite all of the drama swirling about the department, Warde Manuel and his team weathered the storm and guided us to where we are today ... calm waters. Some jumped ship, but for those who stayed ... I think you know the rest. Remember that celebrating banners includes acknowledging the leadership that helped make them possible. Go Blue.

@TheJetOnTNT Kenny! You were on the A.A flight where the flight attendant called Michigan “scum,” weren’t you?

👏 🏆

Once again, the best college hoops teams prove there's nothing like March Madness to get our jaws dropping, our hearts racing, and our brackets busting. Congratulations to the Bruins and the Wolverines!

@Johnubacon @warwicksbooks John, Dusty and the boys found out you were scheduled during Saturday’s and Monday’s games, and they took that personally!

All right, just got home from my book tour stop @warwicksbooks in La Jolla. SRO crowd, many wearing Michigan gear -- a very pleasant surprise. So, what'd I miss? Er, rather: START YOUR MOWERS!

Congratulations to @CoachDustyMay, Elliot Cadeau, and @UMichBBall on winning their first title since 1989! This team dominated the tournament from start to finish. Well deserved. Go Blue!

@UofmUpdates247 Indy?

Off work for the weekend.. Indy bound tomorrow morning!! LFG!! #GoBlue 〽️🏀😎 Let me know if you’ll be in Indy this weekend! 👀

@NastyIsland @Alex_Drain Pro tip: Don’t over do it on Night 1!

@ampitts @Alex_Drain I will be there!

I wrote a big long narrative about Michigan Hockey’s triumph in Albany and the familiar script it follows, while setting the stage for yet another Frozen Four: mgoblog.com/content/deja-vu
