“After a comprehensive review of the program, I have decided that Juwan will not return as our men's basketball coach," athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. "Juwan is among the greatest Wolverines to ever be associated with our basketball program. I know how much it meant, to not only Juwan, but to all of us for him to return here to lead this program. Despite his love of his alma mater and the positive experience that our student-athletes had under his leadership, it was clear to me that the program was not living up to our expectations and not trending in the right direction. I am thankful for Juwan's dedication, passion and commitment to U-M and for all that he, and his legacy, will continue to mean to Michigan."
Illinois is still the 2nd 4th seed in the updated BracketMatrix but there's a plot twist! KU is now on the 4 line, with UK moving up to the 3 line.
Why? Well the pipedream that is the 3 seed is starting to come into play here. Duke and KU both lost yesterday on the 3 line and Duke was probably the most likely team we'd pass. KU's resume is significantly better than ours, but they're dealing with injuries that may knock them a seed. BYU also lost yesterday as the best 5 seed in the Matrix, so I think we're pretty locked into the 4 line at worst.
Teams to root for in bold ILLINOIS vs Ohio St Auburn vs South Carolina Texas A&M vs UK SDSU vs Utah St (flip a coin) Florida vs Alabama
