Last time you Lol'd at Michigan?

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

You missed the point. Most of the MI fans thought they were better than what they did in the tourney.
If you ask most Buckeye fans they will say they are happy with the tourney.
If you ask MI fans they will so me disappointed.
That basketball school up north really underachieved.

And from the little I know about basketball this was actually a rebuilding year in which this team actually overachieved and wasn’t supposed to do as well as they ended up doing. Expectations for the tournament were only high because of their unexpected success during the season.

So as I said expectations were high especially for a team that went to the championship game last year. They underachieved in setting a low scoring record for the tourney

I don't usually think about teams unless they've beaten Iowa more than once in 12 years

In what way did Ohio state have a better tournament than Michigan?

It’s post like these that do you absolutely no justice when trying to convince anyone you can be unbiased about anything regarding Ohio State.

michigan beat two double digit seeds, while Ohio State beat a 6-seed that just won the Big 12 tournament and was a trendy pick to make a run. I'd say that's more impressive.

OSU lost to a 3 seed, just like michigan did, except our game was significantly more competitive. It was a single-digit deficit for OSU with just over a minute left, while michigan was down double digits for the entire second half and lost by more than OSU did.

Pretty simple, really.

Michigan made it farther than you. It doesn’t matter who they beat\lost to. Only a complete moron would argue landing in the round of 32 is better than landing in the sweet 16.

What you are literally arguing is Oklahoma was better than Alabama because they only lost by 11 in the semifinals while bama lost by 20 plus to Clemson in the championship.

What kind of fool argues that? Ohh right it’s you.

Im looking where he said "better" and I dont see it. Maybe you can show me with that Buckeye bias.

@ellupo Here ya go, at least pretend to not be stupid

No, it's saying we had a better tournament showing than you, so your idiotic take about us "skidding on our asses to get into the tournament and then got beat". We had a better tournament than your team, so it is what it is.

Relax, it's baseball season now, and I'm sure michigan is better than OSU in that... oh wait.

Well football season is right around the corner so you have that to look forwa... oh, shit, nevermind.

Just sucks to be a michigan fan, buddy.

Nice cherry picking, "a better tournament showing". You can read more than one word at a time cant you?

By the way if you want to use "better" then may quote that post.

You asked for me to show you where he used the word better. You did it in a smart ass way. I’m merely showing your smart ass up.

I already told you before I was rooting for you guys and thought you’d beat Iowa State. I’m happy ya’s did. But if you are in the camp of finishing in the top 32 is better than finisihing in the top 16 then we disagree mightily. An that’s what my whole post was about to ATF.

You "quoted" something that was not in the quote.

As far as the moral victory, I am not one for those. I can understand the sentiment since all you have to do is ask the fan base how they feel about the tourney. Buckeye fans will mostly say it was good, they won a game and got to see MI set a record for least points. Then you ask Mi fans and they are very disappointed. In that respect the Buckeyes had a better tourney.

You asked me to show where he said better. I showed you where. It was directly in the quote.

Ohio State fans and Michigan fans had different expectations. However trying to argue because of those expectations that a team that didn’t go farther had a better tournament showing is ridiculous. In no way is finishing top 32 a better showing then finishing top 16. But to each their own.

If you use only the round they lost sure, but the fans on the Buckeye side sure feel better after the tourney.

As I said I dont care about moral victories but I can see how someone will see it that way. Anyone without bias can see that.

He plainly stated it was because OSU beat a B12 (tourney) champ ISU (who finished 5th in the B12) and only lost by a couple to Houston. While Michigan only beat two double digit seeds and got crushed by Texas Tech. Not once was his arguemnt about expectations. I just disagreed.

Compared to the sure idiocy of this thread, I’d say it’s mild. An all the “whiteknighting” doesn’t mean I’m wrong, Arizona.

It was partially about expectations, as well. But moreso, it was simply quality over quantity. It's more impressive to beat one higher rated seed than two lower rated ones. That's not being a homer, it's being objective. Would you call it more impressive being able to beat some FCS team and a shitty FBS team, or beating a pretty decent FBS team that had beaten two ranked teams in their last two games?

Also, this is insanely retarded. Show me one single time where I said OSU was better than michigan this year. I said they had a better showing in the tournament, not that they were a better team overall. So what kind of fool argues that? Evidently only you.

Fact: It is not more impressive to land in the round of 32 than the round of 16. A point you continue to argue because it involves Ohio state. Color me shocked.

Perhaps I should have specified. What you are arguing is Oklahoma had a better playoff showing than Alabama because they lost by less than Alabama did. Literally that is what you are arguing. Who argues that? Only you.

Well I remember Michigan fans arguing it was better to go to a third rate bowl game and winning rather than getting trucked in the playoffs.

You are literally wrong about what he is arguing.
