Michigan Basketball: 3 takeaways from agonizing Ohio State loss
By Nick Popio
What is the ceiling for Michigan now?
After an earlier than expected exit from the Big Ten tournament, what lies in store for this group heading into the NCAA tournament?
That will be the million-dollar question for this bunch as they await to see where they stand come next week. The loss of Livers may spell doom no matter where they land in the bracket.
Michigan’s lasting fight will be remembered in what turned out to be another classic between both programs. The Wolverines can hang their hat on that, but it will still sting that they faltered to their arch-rival at the buzzer.
That is going to be a tough pill to swallow knowing that is how things wound up being that close until the bitter ending.
Moving forward Michigan will likely remain a one seed unless something drastically changes. Their road to the final four will not be impossible, but its going to take an extra something and then some if they want to be the last one standing in April.
No excuses can be made now so there’s nothing left to do but give it everything they’ve got to achieve such a hefty feat.
