Michigan NCAA Tournament Game 1 (and evening games) Open Thread
There IS a Liveblog on the front page...but I have a hard time getting messages sent on my tablet/mobile there, so this is an alternative. Game 1 of hopefully 6, a new season truly begins tonight. This is what people will remember, and anything else can be put behind us. Enjoy every game we have left with Burke. Go Blue!
stats are sick. 8/9 FGs?
maybe a result of playing basically no subs all game
Dirty plays...
KILL SHAKA!!!!
No, we can't do that. An earlier poster in this thread wanted to hire him after we lost to SDSU.
with the cheap shot.
picked the big upset tonight. Go Blue.
now this is the way to play basketball. it wasn't the watch trey burke dribble show
GRIII shooting...close 2nd is McGary(star of game but we've seen him play like this before)...3rd is THJ hot shooting
Morgan's post D was not needed. Don't know why everyone is saying McGary is taking his minutes. Morgan will play a role in this tourney. SDSU has NO post presence
We passed that road a long time ago. Mitch took his job. Thats ok, right now he playing better than Morgan.
I attributed it to the comments in the thread. McGary is clearly better but the match ups tonight were unfavorable for Morgan so he didn't play
that is what I thought too...a great coaching decision that helped with the switches on D.
Win and advance!
But it's refreshing to see everyone else step up and put this one away.
Trey's cold shooting tonight may have been exactly what the doctor ordered for everyone else.
Exactly! This might be just what we needed for the other players to get involved and make this team the free flowing offensive machine we were earlier this year.
Jackrabbits are Wolverine food
upset my ass
Go Blue.
Hope buying those SDSU shirts were well worth it for the MSU fans.
Good to get the win. Takes a lot of pressure off the team, and gives some good confidence building, especially to McGary. He came up big tonight.
Bring on VCU. Or Akron. Or whatever. I'm jut going to bask in the moment for now.

I think that one more win will really take the pressure off us and then you never know how far we can go.
But I don't think the team is. They see this as a new season. I think they got their fun on tonight.
The big positive is that they won without leaning on Trey much at all.
If GRIII can keep this up we're headed to the Regional final
The headlines of this game: We hold a good shooting team to 54 points, We put up 71 points with Trey going 2/12. V Impressive on both fronts!
