I just assumed it was a foregone conclusion Mich St. would win, just as it is that they'll beat Butler in Indianapolis. I've accepted the fact that Tom Izzo can sleepwalk his way through an underachieving regular season and flip a switch as soon as the tournament starts. Ugh. Also, I don't really understand bragging for the Big Ten when their only semi-regular representative in the Elite Eight/Final Four is Michigan St. People don't brag about the WCC being well represented in the tournament because of Gonzaga's history or the Horizon because of Butler. They're just great individual programs.
