Help the Michigan Men's Basketball Managers compete in the "Manager Madness" Elite Eight in Phoenix!
Around the country, NCAA Men's Basketball student managers have been competing in "Manager Games." After completing their managerial responsibilities the night before the "real games" take place, the managers from each team often get together to play a basketball game of their own. Although the arenas are nearly empty and the skill levels may not be impressive, "Manager Games" are highly competitive. Kevin Pauga, a former student manager and current Assistant Athletic Director at Michigan State University, has even developed an analytical system that is used to rank the teams of managers based on their game results.
After going 5-2 during the year, the Michigan managers earned a 6-seed in the 2nd Annual "Manager Madness" Postseason Tournament and have advanced to the Elite Eight. The rest of the bracket will be played out in Phoenix, Arizona at the site of the NCAA Final Four.
More information about the Manager Madness Tournament can be found here:

We are trying to raise enough money to cover the costs of travel and lodging so that we can make the trip to Phoenix and compete for a National Championship. Any amount helps and would be very much appreciated! Even if you cannot donate, please share to help spread the word!
Thank you and Go Blue!
