It certainly shouldn't have ended badly for Michigan. They were 7-0 in Boroski-reffed games before the Elite 8. UW, on the other hand, was 0-7 in Boroski games, 10-3 in non-Boroski games. Here are Big 10 teams' records in BoBo games. The number in parentheses is the difference in winning percentage in the rest of their games. I got the numbers off of Buckyville, and the poster on Buckyville got them from Bart Torvik. Michigan 7-0 (-30%) Iowa 4-1 (-13%) OSU 4-1 (-27%) Illinois 5-2 (+13%) Purdue 4-2 (+3%) Rutgers 3-2 (-13%) PSU 2-2 (-17%) NW 2-2 (-23%) MD 2-3 (+7%) Indiana 2-3 (-4%) Minnesota 1-4 (+13%) Nebraska 0-2 (+18%) Michigan State 0-5 (+60%) Wisconsin 0-7 (+77%) I know statistically there will be variations and its still a relatively small sample size but that does seem outside the noise for Bucky.
