As we all saw, the coverage of Michigan's team this year made multiple references to the Fab Five. But, as we also all know, most or all of the Fab Five's wins (including both Final Fours) are still officially vacated, right? How is this OK? I am also almost certain that in the coverage of (I think) Oregon State's first round game, they mentioned a previous Beaver run in the tournament, but prefaced by saying that it had been vacated. Again, WTF.
Also, I believe that the "official" story out of Ann Arbor is that Juwan Howard never actually took money. Does anyone have any insight / know the real story there? I find it hard to believe that if one member of the Fab Five was "in the bag" that the others were not. That just doesn't pass the sniff test.
I will say that Michigan fans on Twitter are SUPER sad, butt-hurt, and salty today. It is almost like they realized that they won the regular season based on a weak schedule and dodging three games (two of which were on the road), they got bombed by the best team in the conference (Illinois), lost in the BTT semis to a team that couldn't even beat a No. 15 seed, couldn't sweep the worst MSU team under Izzo, underachieved as a No. 1 seed, lost to a double-digit seed, and that this may wind up being Howards best team.
That's rough and you just hate to see it.
