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.
Empty the bench at 4 mins.
Not looking ahead, but I am:
I think we'll eventually end up with a 2 seed.
Me too.
Cuse and ISU both losing to unranked teams right now. If they lose, better chance for us to steal a 2-seed? Seems like a good thing
Illinois is like zero kelvin cold
No under 12 timeout!! SUCK IT ESPN AND TV ADVERTISERS
Outright title is pretty much in the bag now.
If he jinxes away a 32 point lead in six minutes, I'll eat this computer.
DON'T JINX US!
Dominate Illinois, Dominate Indiana, win Big Ten tourney, 1 seed?
The record for made 3 pointers in a game for a Michigan player is 9 by Garde Thompson vs. Navy in 1987. Glenn Rice is number 2 with 8.
Serious question, if (big if I know) we win tonight, against Indiana, and the Big Ten tournament does that get us a 1 seed?
I honestly doubt it. Too much would have to go our way with other teams losing. Our ceiling is a 2.
but it's possible if all that happens and if Wichita loses in their tournament and a few others choke as well. Thats a lot of big if's
The maize 'M' on a red background looks so wrong
Roy Tarpley and Bill Frieder making an appearance!
I see a two seed coming our way...
Derrick Walton has been a wizard from the line in conference play. He just never misses
Up 30 on a team giving up less than 50 their last 3 games
SMOKESHOW
bust out the muppets now. We cant be stopped
Caris driving ability is just something to behold.
dont see why you'd bother, we're up 30. No need to get injuries and have to play "weird guys" down the road.
Am hoping we stay with it.
Was feeling a little uncertain about this game... we often seem to relax a bit against a supposedly lackluster opponent, especially after some big wins...
...and with being on the road pretty soon after playing Saturday night -- not surprised they were slowing down / tiring...
Keep the adrenaline going a *little* longer, guys! Finish it off. Right.
Going to the commercial break, that might be the sorriest impersonation I've ever seen of The Blues Brothers.
The fat muppet is singing.
Gotta love that B1G tournament bracket
It just looks so wild seeing Michigan as the 1-seed. Didn't think I'd ever see that day
We do it so well
