THIS WENT IN [Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]

I WAS NOT ALIVE THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED.

And you can't have one without the other...

I'M PRETTY SURE MICHIGAN JUST HIT ANOTHER THREE.

(Given the server overload, my desire to celebrate, and the number of words I've already written today, this serves as your postgame recap until Brian's column tomorrow. Short version: they made all of the shots, and they WON THE CONFERENCE.)

(Yes, I double-posted Muppets. I swear I'm sober. For now.)

I have been so impressed with the coaching job John Beilein and his staff did this year.  If you think about how they started the year to how they finished it, it does not  supprise me at all that they won the big ten outright.  The growth is evident in players like Irving and Walton.  

I could not help but watch Illinois and ponder how much better Nnanna Eqwu might be if he was coached by this staff.  Congradulation to the team and I am looking forward to the turnament.

Also, 2 teams that we are battling with for seeding in that 2-3 range Iowa State and Creighton both lost to unranked teams today. Here's to hoping we put ourselves on the 2 line.

Congrats Scum. You guys are lucky you caught us when we were down, because when Izzo gets his boys back in line there's gonna be hell to pay. You were all excited when Izzo almost went to the Cavs - now you better pray that he goes to the Stuns, because he will be back with a vengeance.

Honestly they looked pretty impressive tonight, but honestly I cant think of a more lucky team over the past few years - it's either they are getting all the calls all the time, or their shots are falling like they have magnets in the baskets. It is ridiculous. And now they've won the Big Ten Championship....in one of the most down, overrated Big Tens in a long time. We are the only ELITE team in the Big Ten this year and we were injured all year, so basically they did the following: 1) BACKED into their first Big Ten Title in a lengthy time 2 years ago, and 2) GOT LUCKY that we were injured all year to get their second one. Beilien is overrated and they suck.

Go Sparty - we will win this.

I wonder if they noticed Mitch is still out and Morgan sat almost the entire game. Still Michigan destroyed Illinois on their floor.

Magnets? Got it. Apparently not only do they suck balks through the nets but they also have sucked the life out of Izzo and his program.

So it's just luck when our baskets are good? But MSU & other teams, their baskets go in due to skill, preparation, teamwork, good shot setup, skillful aim, etc.? Okay then.

Really don't see how Belein isn't COY. Nik may have locked up POY as well. Anyone catch Trey on twitter tonight? He agrees with me.

Two confessions.  One I'm proud of.  One I'm not. 

The Bad:  I had a bad feeling about this game.  Soooooo, I look like a real jackass right now.  But I'm too happy to care. 

The Good:  Right before the half, when Illinois' crowd got loud after cutting our 20 point lead to 18 points, and then giving us all those fouls to run down the clock to 4 seconds... I thought to myself how much I would love to stick it to Illini fans with us getting a basket at the buzzer to end the half.  Then Nik drained that 3.  LOL! 

That was too awesome for words.  That's the first ever time I had a "wouldn't it be awesome if we did _______ " thought and the team actually listened to me.
