WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRINK!
DRINK!
DRINK!

FUCK FINALS!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I hate Duke -

effing awesome game!

I have wood

Suck it Bilas.

That is all.

I sound like a big ol' choo choo train.

After 20 yrs, this morning I put in my money to join the alumni assoc. (Always planned to--procrastination). So I think the credit for this win belongs to me.

Go Blue!

Let's be reassured that the improvement we see in this years hoops team will be the same type of improvement we see in the Big House next fall. Not much was expected out of these guys last winter and now look.

It's the season of faith and hope.

that I was waiting for the muppets to cap off the celebration?

this was awesome

Wooooooooo muppets!!!

Watching this game was like meeting an old friend or a long-lost love that you hadn't seen in over 10 years. Half the time was spent remembering how it's supposed to feel.

In Beilein we trust! In RRod we trust! Things are looking up!!

Manny Fresh with the JAM!
Peedi with the nba jab-step jumper!
Novak drilling threes!
Grady driving and dishing!
what a win

Missed the first half due to ESPN suckiness and living in a Communist country. But excited none the less about the outcome. Too bad I'm not in AA to celebrate this.

How is Sims not the most improved player in the country?

It has been a long fall. A very long fall. But after dry-docking Sparty last night and prison styling the untouchables of college BBall, I can come in from the cold! Hopefully this sets the tone for a wonderful winter of recruiting, bball, wrestling and a hockey team putting it together! Play the f***ing song!

GO BLUE!!!

I think an appropriate video to describe Michigan basketball after today would be George from Seinfeld saying, "I'm back, baby, I'm back!"

A huge win - who would have ever guessed that the two marque OOC wins for the Big 10 would be coming from Ann Arbor?

I haven't had that much fun watching a Michigan basketball game in...uh. Well. In a LONG time.

I confess it, Brian: I wasn't really buying the NCAA tournament talk around these parts (even after UCLA), but I feel pretty good about the idea right now.

I think this video says it all.

I feel giddy. There will be losses, and ugly losses, but it's clear we're back. We're gonna get good, and stay good. And we'll have kids who stay 4 years. Think of Novak as a senior!

Oh man I just love the strong fundamentals Beilein coaches. Good passing! The back door cuts are just beautiful, especially when you can see 'em coming.

After an awful fall, this is just too sweet!

game was off the chain...just wanna say to all those people who asked y i bought basketball tickets....HA. also i am wondering how those recruits can just sit there the whole game and not go insane i mean seriously it was CRAZY. Also anyone know who were the recruits there? i know tim hardaway jr was there and campbell for football but anyone know a list of them for either or both sport?

I was lucky enough to be at the game today. Best Michigan hoops win since... I'm not sure. Maybe the Fab Five era?

I was going to say it was the biggest since the last win over Duke (1997), when they were #1 . . . but then again, at that time we were an established program, not one looking to bounce back. So yeah, maybe the biggest since the Fab Five were frosh?

Blafung de lossang bis forquard! Orders from Capt. Zeep! Yeehah!

Does this mean we are a BB school now? O RLY?

I walked past Bilas before the game and told him "It's too bad that your Dukies are going to lose." He responded with a laugh ... Well who's laughing now ...

duke sucks. that is all.

"Tim Tebow is a god"
- Lee the douchebag

Doesn't anyone remember Tebow getting ass raped by the boys in Blue last year. I'm so sick and tired of this shit.

Come on Oscar kick that little shit's ass.

In high school (which was recently) I was sure I wanted to go to Georgetown. Things changed, now I'm here and love it, but the result of my brief flirtation with Georgetown was that I was a pretty big Hoya basketball fan for a few years not very long ago.

I see a lot of similarities between the two programs. Great academics, incredible basketball history, had sucked for as long as most incoming freshman had been alive/aware. In comes John Beilein/John Thompson III with a finesse system to turn around the once proud program. In JT III's first year I believe the Hoyas went to the tourney, in his second year the sweet-sixteen and a top-25 finish, his third year a 2 seed and the final four. Beilein's team was in a lot worse shape when he took over,and his first year didn't go great. But, it seems to be coming together, even if it took a little longer here. Like Georgetown our signature home win over Duke has signaled to the world we're back, and I have every reason to believe we will stay prominent for a while.

When Beilein was first hired, Thompson was everything I wanted him to be. It might just be working out perfectly.

Basketball ranks after football, hockey, soccer, baseball, golf in terms of how much I follow it so this is probably a stupid post, but I needed to do something to rectify the pathetic Saturday night spent study that finals week brings so...

Good to watch the scores scroll by on ESPN and have something positive about Michigan....That was a fun game to watch. Brings back a lot of memories.
This had to leave a really positive impression on all the recruits visiting. GO BLUE!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was there too. A few things:

1) Totally packed house. Most people I've seen at a b-ball game since I was like 10.

2) ZOLTAN IN THE HOUSE. I saw Zoltan walk by and I yelled his name. He gave me a confused look and we exchanged waves. Michigan b-ball had the blessings of the Space Emperor and it showed.

Just to pile on and add even more to a great weekend comes a link to an article about Izzo contacting Arizona for their coaching job. Don't know if there is any legs to it but it is fun to add after a Duke beat down

If anyone else can add it would be helpful.

have happened.

Beilein should have been fired after that atrocity last year.

10-22. WTF! This game is about results. If he was such a great coach, we wouldn't have had such a shitty year last year. A better coach would've adapted his system to the talent he had.

I made a point to listen to Bilas most of the game, and give him credit - he wasn't his normal douchey self. I thought his tone about Michigan was pretty upbeat.

Yeah I really liked Bilas last night. He lays it on thick sometimes, but he knows what he's talking about. Basketball color announcers are in general better than football because in football the different positions are so different.

For example, I have trouble listening to Andre Ware talk about offensive linemen, just like I have trouble listening to Chris Speilman talk about quarterbacks.

never get old.

Dah DAH . . . Dah Dah Dah DAH!

Here is a thought: We've beat two number four teams, right? Does that mean we've beaten the curse of Number 4?

My daughter found the words and sang it for me while I took video on my camera. I'd love to post it somewhere but it's on my Motorola Q9h phone.

GO BLUE!!!!!
