Atlanta, Georgia. Although you have to be turning in your stomach in Bloomington, the Hoosiers may just have some ammunition the next time they play the boys from Ann Arbor. You have to give Johnny Beilein credit where credit is due. Who would have thought that Michigan would be one win away from where the Hoosiers should have been, playing for the national championship? On the other side, you have a Cardinals team that has been soaring under Rick Pitino and his guidance. The 2013 title may still be in Kentucky, but it might be in Louisville. I am looking for Peyton Siva to have a monster game for the Cardinals. You knew that Kevin Ware was going to be a motivating factor. Meanwhile, on the other side, you have a Michigan team that is looking to make a beeline for number 1. You can look for player of the year Trey Burke to try and can some treys of his own, but that will not be all that the young Wolverines will have to deal with. They will have to deal with a team that is playing for Kevin Ware, which is a big reason why the Cardinals are still soaring. Let’s face it. Although those of you in Bloomington think that Victor should be player of the year in college basketball, you are watching something very special, the maturation of a team who nobody thought, even this reporter, would be in the national championship game. I think Michigan has one more big hurdle to climb, and that hurdle is Rick Pitino and a group of birds that would like nothing better than to give their fallen teammate a title.
