Battle 4 Atlantis - UConn vs. Michigan (11/25 @ 9:30PM)

[Mr. Wonderful]

I have no idea about specific seedings, but I doubt UConn will be seeded in the top four.

That's great, actually. I want a scalp in game #1.

Pairings are UConn v Michigan, Cuse v Charlotte on one half then Texas v A&M and Washington v Gonzaga on the other I personally like the draw potential for 3 big noncon wins.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Damn was hoping to face them in the championship game. Oh well

 

[CallMeBruce]

So if we beat Michigan, we get Cuse, unless by some bizarre miracle they lose to a pretty bad Charlotte team.

Was disappointed at first because Rothstein tweeted out that UConn's first round matchup was with Charlotte.

wouldn't put it past cuse to bizarrely lose games

 

[BrassBonanza]

are we to assume that game 4 will be the late game? I hope it is

 

[OkaForPrez]

Michigan, Cuse, Gonzaga. 3 Tings.

So Syracuse vs Charlotte gets ESPN, but UConn vs Michigan gets AXS TV, is that some sort of joke?

 

[tcf15]

UConn vs. UM will be on AXS TV. Check here to see if you get it: http://www.axs.tv/

 

[CallMeBruce]

UConn vs. UM will be on AXS TV. Check here to see if you get it: http://www.axs.tv/

That's pretty unbelievable.

And of course my optimum cable does not have it. Unbelievable.

Love the draw -- first game against Michigan is a must-win though in order to ensure 3 good OOC matchups. Best case scenario is Michigan-Cuse-Gonzaga. That would be a major RPI boost. Michigan-Charlotte-A&M would be bad.

The fact that we're the undercard to Syracuse and off of ESPN doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling in this era where we're fighting for exposure.

Can't wait to see how the AAC is blamed here.

ESPN promotes their conferences, and pretends everybody else doesn't exist. Telecasting Syracuse v patsy over UConn-Michigan means nothing more than: Syracuse/ACC is their property lock, stock, and barrel, and they want to promote it. They don't view the AAC/UConn or B1G/Michigan as properties they are going to be in possession of long term; or, if they are going to buy into the B1G, they don't want to give exposure to the B1G right now and increase its value while they are negotiating the new B1G TV deal. Their bargaining tactic is: no exposure until you sign with us.

lol that was quick.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Time to cut cable and just watch the games illegally online or at a bar

 

[defaultroute]

What in the duck is AXS TV and why in the duck can I not get it on TWC. #Stop

 

[pj]

lol that was quick.

The B1G is getting the same treatment as the AAC. It's not a knock on the conference.

 

[jfuchs91]

Of course I don't get AXS TV. Looks like I'm going to Atlantis.

Love the matchup and potential order of Mich, Cuse and Zaga. Anyone know much about the outlooks for Michigan and Cuse this season?
