Can people understand how hard it is to win in the tourney now? Every game is critical and you just have to win and move on. 

Mizzou, Duke, Michigan all in trouble/going down.  Teams play different styles and you don't have weeks/months to scout like you do for your conference

Michigan has been one of the luckiest teams this year. It's now St. Paddy's Day in Ireland and when Michigan looks to Ohio State and MSU, they are green with envy. Luck might be one their side again.
