March, April, May A championship retrospective, evaluating what success looks like in this new era of college hoops

I used to write about college basketball (and michigan, specifically) a lot back in the day. as you may have heard, the wolverines won the national title.

I dusted off my keyboard, so to speak, and published a post about the team / coach / program on substack. was fun to write about hoops again.

I suspect my michigan mutuals will enjoy this one. to be honest, losing the community I had on twitter post-musk was hard. but some of you are on here, which is great! haven't posted on here as much as I thought I would, but alas. anyways! read! share! subscribe! etc!

before the season it was like "feel like we don't have enough shooting, curious to see how the bigs all fit together" and it's just funny to think back to that given how fantastic these guys were all year.

and we only needed 2 threes to win the national championship.

this matchup feels much more like a steven bardo special than an elite 8 game. but it's been a good one

I know @statsbywill.bsky.social was thinking very powerfully about this upcoming elite 8 matchup when the bracket was released

regardless of how it ends, this season was the best I've seen as a fan. these guys have been dominant and just really fun to watch.

yaxel said "maybe the best michigan team of all time" in the post-game interview. I'd... probably agree with that.

still don't really understand why so many people spent the last couple of months hating on this miami team. oh an algorithm says they're bad, actually? who cares!! how often does a mac team go undefeated? they're awesome. let's be serious.
