The Resurgence of Michigan Basketball??

Come again? When since the days of the Fab Five (the lying, cheating, NCAA violating Fab Five) has UMich ever been considered a contender? Well apparently ESPN, showing the bias sports reports always show to the Wolverines, believes they are back. In the past two days, news of a revitalized Michigan program has been papered all over their web pages. And today in Michigan made their Power 16 rankings. Sure regular season hasn't started, but other very worthy, very proven teams (e.g., Indiana - close game with Duke, beat Kentucky) were bumped from the list. So what exactly is it that makes UMich so very special?

• Having a former Duke, Coach K protege as their coach? Well Quinn Synder hasn't been doing all that well at Missouri perhaps Tommy is overhyped as well.
• Perhaps it was their super fab win over Boston University (yup, that's BU not BC, the ranked team)
• Perhaps it's their awesome long, yellow, saggy shorts (Fab Five fashions still rule in AA)
• Their win over Notre Dame is worthy of mention, but today's Notre Dame team isn't like teams of old (remember the team that made a tournament run way back when?)

As far as I am concerned all these "so-called experts" are reaching for the next new "it" team, and in this case, it's way too much of a stretch!
