March Madness Press Spotlight

[grizzlyjournal]

Montana -- for a few days (at least) -- will have some press spotlight trained on them. Here's the first I've seen... a lazy effort by my standards. Post any more when you run across them: part of the fun of this week is reading them all!

They spotlight the dunk over Fab and they said it was Rorie, it starts.

From the fivethirtyeight tournament preview.

Don’t bet on: No. 3 seed Michigan. It’s an unfortunate draw for a team heading into the tourney playing as well as just about anybody in the country (the Wolverines actually rank third in our pre-tournament Elo ratings, behind only Virginia and Villanova), but the selection committee did Michigan zero favors here. First-round opponent Montana is unusually strong for a No. 14 seed — check out the sea of 10, 11 and 12 seeds around them in Ken Pomeroy’s rankings — and likely second-round foe Houston was underseeded as a No. 6, too. Then, if the Wolverines survive opening weekend, they’ll probably be treated to a rematch of their 15-point loss to UNC from late November. Michigan has fought through similarly tough tourney paths before, but right now we give them only a 14 percent shot at a Final Four berth.

Just a tiny note in there but they are really the only team seeded 13 or worse that is mentioned in a positive light so it's a nice recognition.
