The Victors: Project OSPREY
(№ 13) Ohio 65-60 Michigan (№ 4)
24-10, Big Ten 14-6

We played in the N.C.A.A. Tournament the same way we played in the Big Ten Tournament: poorly. That was a sad, lazy, pathetic effort & we deserved to lose the game by far more than we did. I mean no offense to the epithetless Bobcats, nor do I mean to belittle their efforts. Why did young Burke try all those three-point shots? We were down by three, yes, but there was plenty of time; we didn't need to take low-percentage long-range shots. We threw away a perfectly serviceable opportunity. We embarrassed ourselves, & only by the grace of the №-15-over-№-2 upsets will we not be an object of national ridicule. It's win-or-go-home time, & by each foolish mistake, missed defensive assignment, & idiotic shot choice we chose to go home rather than to win. This should be a very long, cold off-season for the valiant Wolverines & Coach John Beilein, an off-season full of introspection & reassessment. Drat! drat! & double drat!

Go Blue!

Science!
Rats, no neutrino-based faster-than-light propulsion system just yet: warp speed-link. The upshot is that the laws of the physical universe as we understand them have not been upended, after all.

Science!
