MBB v Illinois Open Thread
Have at it kids. Going for the outright championship tonight versus an improving and defensive minded Illinois squad. Hopefully our traditional -10 to -19 first half deficit issue is abolished.
They look like surgeons out there tonight.
I approve of this message.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Walton has shown awesome progression this season. His play tonight is great sign for the Big Ten tourney.
The most impressive stat of the game so far: 3/3 on the free throws.
I'd rather go with 11-of-14 from 3 which means we're shooting a higher percent from 3 (79%) than we are from 2 (68%)
Mmm...delicious tears:

Helps to shoot 9/12 from three. Michigan is scary good when they're "on"... but when they aren't, they are VERY beatable. 1st weekend loss?lol
I think that half was a statement. Come out of the half and put together a run and this one is probably over. This was a good game to finally put it together in the first half. Just have to stay focused now. You would expect Illinois to make a run early in the second.
play our next 11 games in Champagne? Then get sprayed with it?
My goodness.
So guys, I'm gonna take the credit for this one. See, we're having our niece and nephew for a sleepover this weekend and I might not be able to watch the Indiana game. So, in order to let me see the team clinch an outright, MBB decided to win it tonight instead of Saturday.
How did StaEE only score 46 points against this team on their home court?
Wow, can we play like this forever?
Will we see Andrew Dakich raining 3's towards the end of the second half?
So, here we go....
Michigan eFG% - 87.50%
Michigan OREB% - 22.22%
Michigan free throw rate - 10.71%
Michigan turnover % - 9.28%
Michigan PPP - 1.72
Illinois eFG% - 58.33%
Illinois OREB% - 8.33%
Illinois free throw rate - 12.50%
Illinois turnover % - 16.49%
Illinois PPP - 1.10

1.72 PPP. Sweet mother of God.
Someone has us winning with 62 points.
Around the league: Florida up 2, Syracuse down 8, Creighton down 14, and ISU down 1. Give me that 2 seed!
Nik and Walton are playing great tonight. It's amazing to see how our guys know their roles, and play them very well. The coaching staff is doing a tremendous job developing these young men.
Not even a George Lopez commercial is going to ruin this game for me.
George Lopez must have sold his soul or have some crazy tape of somebody...I don't know one person who thinks he's funny
Game recap needs audio clip of the crowd groan at the end of half Stauskas shot
does anyone have our win chance as projected by kenpom?
Kenpom had us at -1 for this game. HAHAHAHAHA
Dakich is equally annoying to all
I would love to mute his man crushes
Well, given what's happened so far, not even an announcing team composed of RCMB's finest could by anything but pro-M talking about the game.
so says the RCMB

Pretty good stuff over there
This is the most positive open thread in the history of the blog.
Missed the first half driving home from work. Made it home for the second half! Go Blue!
You didn't miss anything.
*Snort*
u missed perhaps THE BEST HALF of basketball M has played all year long
If Illinois comes back, we'll have to ask you to get back in the car.
So I doubt this is available on BTN 2 go.
