Always a good sign to see Gibby drain a long J. He opened the scoring at Minny with one then, too.
Deshawn is hitting from distance as well, and Manny has finally chimed in with one from distance as well.
Let's get some 3PT shooters in the mix.
Gibby with a block party and a duece at the other end to top it off.

A few games ago a poster came on here saying he had given up on this team. He was totally bashed for it. Based on the lack of participation in the open threads since him it definitely looks like he's not the only one. I felt bad for that guy because he was just being honest. I feel like he deserves a MGoApology.
Anyways, it's sad to see DeShawn go. All the crap he had to endure this season and he was still our best and most consistent player. Hope to see him make it to the bigtime.
I like our halfcourt defense. I feel good about this game as long as we don't continue to give up points in transition.
Manny goes off on 4 straight possessions. I like.
I mean, it is hard to fault people who have "given up" on the season. I mean, in all honesty, I have removed my emotional investment. I still watch and cheer, but I don't get affected as much by the positives or negatives, merely for my own sanity. It's been a roller coaster ride.
Not disagreeing at all. I just had a certain amount of sympathy for the guy because he was just being honest and was killed for it.
I can't wait until we have an actual good-shooting team. When teams don't sag off our shooters, the backdoor will be open all day.
The year has been a disappointment, but that doesn't stop me from turning on the tv and watching Michigan basketball. On another note I like the way the team is playing tonight. Hope we can win one for the seniors and maybe get some momentum for the big ten tourney. GO BLUE
Hands down, best offensive stretch of the season. Backdoor cuts, extra pass, lane penetration. Great to see.
I feel like I haven't seen Vogrich this aggressive since.. the Northern Michigan game? It's nice to see
Where has this offense been this season?
The offense has been there more or less, it is the shot making that has been missing.
how fun it could be to watch basketball. Nice to see the shots go down. Some great early defense by Ant Wright and Gibby. The announcers are awful tho. They can't seem to tell the difference between our man and zone defense.
Play of the year. Morris is going to be a star down the road.
Half ends at 43-29 Michigan.
Best half of basketball, aside from @ Penn State of the season. Great flow. Great opportunities. Excellent execution.
Nice play by morris and sims.
Seems like Beilein has Tubby's number.
What a pass by D. Mo!
Hate to make a Sparanesque comparison, but that pass before the end of the half was Magic.
This is the team that was ranked pre-season #13. Solid defense, great offense. I will truly miss Sims, and even some Wright and Gibby too.
Can I just sum up that half and what COULD have been this season in one word? SIGH.
I'm listening to the radio broadcast and they're totally pimping BDs mongolian BBQ. Is that normal?
Fun Fact: BD's Mongolian BBQ was started by Billy Downs, an MSU alumnus.
My mom's company owns 2 of them, one on either side of KC.

I tried to turn my second post into Fun Fact #2, but you replied too quickly. I'm not changing the first post because I don't want Fun Fact #2 to come before Fun Fact #1.
fun fact #.5?
Fun fact: If Ghengis Khan were coach of Michigan, I would have loved to see the freep fuck with him.
Most humorous post in weeks. Well played.
...wouldn't dare fuck with Barwis.
That's fantastic. I have a friend whose parents own a Pizza Ranch in Wisconsin where they live in the attic. My favorite part about visiting is all the free food.
53-35 U-M 16:00 left
Deshawn has 16 pts on 7/12 shooting. He's going out in style
Go Blue
Poll question: This team has no real weight on their shoulder. If they hold on here, roll into E. Lansing remembering how fun basketball can be, do they spring the upset? Certainly possible. Would be a fun end to the regular season.
Manny gettin' fresh. Great And 1 finish.
This team is just plain fun to watch when they're on. They've ripped my heart out a few (read: a dozen) times this season, but dangit, I still love them.
If they can play as good as last time vs sparty (without the ref helping msu) I think they can do it. You also have to factor in that its on the road, and msu knows not to take us likely. (see the 1 point win back in January)
Lightly?
Michigan has 13 rebounds, 10 from Sims and Novak, none from Manny
Novak has 1/2 a triple double: 6, 5, and 5
I kind of wish this was a real stat.
Minnesota is still kind of in the hunt for a tourney berth too. Guess it's safe to say we have them figured out.
did anyone see that minny player trying to help upp westbrook? awkward...
What was that about? Looked like he basically just gave up on life.
Did you see westbrook fall down?...lol
Nice take, D Mo!
I thought he was going to break out in a rendition of
Anyone think we have a decent shot at winning the NIT?
We better beat MSU or win two in the B10 tourney, otherwise, we won't be there.
