I really have to disagree with the statement that Michigan would have won it 
all last year had there been no shot clock.  I do not think Michigan was 
prepared AT ALL for the NCAA tournament and probably lasted longer than they 
should have.  After all, they struggled against Fairleigh Dickinson.  Shot 
clock or no shot clock, Fairleigh Dickinson should not be in the same class as 
Michigan.  Even if they had made it to the final four they would have had to 
face Georgetown, and I'd be willing to bet that Michigan would not have shot 
80% against the Hoyas to win, as Villanova did.
