the boys keep playing like this and we will find out in the tourney if we are in their class
February 25th, 2021 at 11:40 PM ^
Or they'll find out if they are in our class.

It does feel like Gonzaga and Baylor are being allowed to coast on some early-season successes (which, to UM's credit, they also had) and their more recent performances have just sort of been ignored. I know Baylor was out for 3 weeks with COVID-19 but their schedule even before that wasn't particularly daunting (their top three wins in conference are against the KenPom 23-25 ranked teams), and Gonzaga has played exactly 2 teams in the top 100 in 2021 (BYU and St. Mary's twice each). Both of those teams are obviously good but it is sort of annoying that we've anointed both of them untouchables because of what they did 3 months ago.

Our tougher path will pay off at tournament time. We can take a punch in the mouth, we are used to it.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:12 PM ^
I don’t know how Gonzaga beat such a powerhouse in Santa Clara!!!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:14 PM ^
Outstanding defense all around and Howard's adjustments at halftime (plus just converting on good opportunities) were on display yet again. This team really should be spoken of as perhaps the best team in the country; they certainly have played like it for most of the year.

Wagner is a damn jedi. He sees things before they happen. His trajectory mimics Larry Bird. He's one step ahead of everyone else on the floor. Unreal. He's a top 10 draft pick. Damn shame UM only had him for 2 years. Imagine him as a senior.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
Remember Franz recruitment weekend was within days of Beilein resignation, no head coach to recruit him on his visit. Wagner brothers are Michigan legends.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:16 PM ^
Consider for a moment that this team is 12-1 in the most competitive league in history.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:17 PM ^
I remember preseason when I was everyone’s pick to win the B1G and we were an afterthought- my oh my, how things have changed!!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
What a great win.
Go Blue.
PS - Defund Dick Vitale for singing ol' Notre Dame and saying the Victors is the 2nd best fight song during ONE OF OUR GAMES AGAIN.
Difficult to hate on Dickie V with what he does for childhood cancer - but, for F*ck's sake, another Michigan HATER.

Did something happen before tonight where Fran just hates Juwan? I’ve seen Juwan shake hands with just about all coaches this year, but not tonight.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:23 PM ^
Hunter Dickinson happened

This Michigan team seems to be able to adapt and adjust to any situation, any opponent, any style of play, any officiating. Sometimes they need a half to figure things out, sometimes they blow the opponent away from the tip. They're never rattled (for long). They just overcome. Impressive.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:23 PM ^
Garza would struggle for minutes on our team
February 25th, 2021 at 9:30 PM ^
Even Davis made a few good plays against him!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
This team is ridonkulous.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Just when I'm sure it's Michigan's offense I'm in love with, its defense catches my eye and I decide that's what I really love.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
My favorite was when Garza went up with the ball and Hunter just took it of his fingertips. The was bodacious
February 25th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Wonderful win, of course -- amazing! It does help when 2 of Iowa's starters are out for almost all the second half, though. Not only are they not available, but Garza of course has to be gassed by the last ten minutes. We deserve the win, full stop, but not sure the final score is *quite* representative.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:38 PM ^
Hunter and Davis ....wow. Well done take a freakin bow boys
February 25th, 2021 at 9:39 PM ^
Holy crap. What a win.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:40 PM ^
Well, now. That was pretty fun.
I think this M team is pretty good.
GO BLUE!!!!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
Franz was sensational! HD outplayed Garza. The 2H defense was stifling.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
Sorry to see Nunge go down. That is a big loss for Iowa.
Two more wins to clinch!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:56 PM ^

Smothered Garza and the 3pt line. Solid!
February 25th, 2021 at 10:01 PM ^
Top of the hat to Austin Davis for allowing Garza no let up just because HD was out.
February 25th, 2021 at 10:02 PM ^
I just love how Garza couldn't muscle his way through Dickinson. That was outstanding.
Can't be out-run, can't be out-schemed, can't be out-D'd, can't be out-shot, even won when they were out-officialed! Now they can't be outmuscled!
February 25th, 2021 at 10:05 PM ^
Iowa just 4 assists, none by their point guard, 36% shooting, only 57 points.
Iowa officially eliminated from Big Ten title chase.
Only two more wins to clinch!
February 25th, 2021 at 10:26 PM ^
WOOOO!!!!
Not Iowa with their sorry excuse on twitter...Shirt is on baby. Go Blue!!
