Glad to support one of the best in the business and truly a great dude. This is sure to be an awesome way to continue to relive this past season time and again.
If you're a fellow Michigan fan, this is a no brainer.

There’s a clear exponential curve between roster talent and NFL Draft picks.
Good teams produce draft picks.
Elite teams flood the draft.

It’s hard to find a non-paywalled list of players in the transfer portal. Thankfully @CFB_Data has a great API at collegebasketballdata.com/. Here are the top players in the portal (some pending eligibility) by my time-decayed RAPM. Jasper Floyd could be an underrated addition.

Michigan didn’t just win the title… they ran through everyone.
• Beat all 3 Final Four teams
• 6 of 7 Elite Eight teams
• 9 of 15 Sweet Sixteen teams
This is an absurd tournament résumé.

Beating 9 Sweet Sixteen teams is even rarer.
Only other team to do it:
• 1996 Kentucky
Now it’s Kentucky… and Michigan.

Updated historical Elo chart for the newly crowned men's basketball National Champion, Michigan.
Greatest Michigan team of all time? They have a strong argument.

Season Elo Trends - National Title Game Edition
Michigan has hovered near the top of Elo most of the year.
UConn has consistently graded out as an elite team.
Strong vs steady with it all on the line tonight.

Offense gets headlines. Defense wins in March.
The Final Four teams? They do both and that’s why they’re still standing.

Shot distribution contrast in the Final Four:
• Illinois: extreme 3PT reliance (50%)
• Arizona: highest mid-range rate (32%)
• Michigan: near-even rim/3 split
• UConn: efficient modern profile
Philosophy clash this weekend.

Well, this aged poorly for you.
ISU in the upper right über quadrant and we’re not Championship material? Top 7 defense nationally and no mention there. Wake up Billy-boy because we’re going to destroy your bracket

Seed Says Chalk. Elo Says Elite.
With two 1-seeds, a 2-seed, and a 3-seed, this was already one of the chalkiest Final Fours of the seeding era. But by pre-tournament Elo, it was even stronger than that seed profile might suggest.

The Sweet 16 breaks into tiers:
🏆 Championship DNA: Duke, Michigan, Arizona
⚠️ Dangerous but flawed: Alabama, Purdue, Illinois
🧊 Defense travels: Nebraska, Houston
Balance still wins in March… usually.
Who survives this weekend?
