University of Michigan Wolverines mens' basketball team is hoping for a bid to the NCAA March Madness.  But there are certain events the NCAA comittee will look at. The events are the reputation of Brett Petway taunting and instigating fights.

Examples:

.At Ann Arbor the elbow to the face of Maurice Ager and then inviting a fight. With gestures that were caught on film. 

.The game in East Lansing another cheap shot but this time to Marquise Gray and more instigation gestures inviting a fight caught on film. 

. Early celebrations and taunts from Petway five minutes into the first half in games against such teams as Illinois, UCLA, Wisconsin and MSU.  

It is clearly indicated that I am a Spartans fan who along with Tom Izzo has respect for Tom Amaker. 

There is a validity to the discussion that the actions and charades of Brett Petway may to lead to another trip to the NIT for the Wolverines.

There is an old adage that goes "Comparisons are odious."  Comparing Brett Petway to Jason Richardson and Shannon Brown is totally odious. 

J.R. and Shannon can electrify for 40 minutes and maintain composure while doing it.

Brett Petway cannot.
