# 1 Michigan vs. Northwestern mens basketball open thread

HAHAHA nail clippers for the Wildcats! Classic!

Knock on Wood....but our OEff (KenPom) is going to skyrocket up to 130 ppp if they keep this up!

Also: SRSLY.  Whoever has a crush on me and has been negging all of my posts the past two days (and decided to go back to the past weeks worth of my posts and neg them as well)....Go get a fuggin' life.

I thought his name was Marco Tulio.

Our bench is getting better...Bielfeldt getting some time, and Horford looking like a major contributor off the bench...His offensive game seems like it is the best of all our posts (outside of robinson)

I cringe everytime I see that Morgan turned ankle. I did that so  many times in sports I can feel the pain just watching it.

Good looking offense there...

Allstate Value Plan = "our most affordable plan".  In other words this accident is not covered.

What's really annoying is that I was able to get a firstrow feed for the Notre Dame game.  Talk about adding insult to injury

That guy played at Louisville and is in grad school?  There are people who graduated from a Rick Patino coached program?  Also I'm on the radio but it appears that THJ just stepped inside the arc to take a long two.

Stauskas actually passed up a 3 he should have taken. Ain't going to meet Bacari's 7 three challenge doing that.

32-18 Michigan

This team can really blow it open quick.

Game. Stauskas.

Big Puppy hustle

That is a cool Canadian flag.

They've got to keep McGary in when he isn't in foul trouble. They always seem to go on runs when he comes in.

canadian baconing it tonight!

so are the rest of the guys for that matter

...to chucking up as many 3s as possible, even though they aren't hitting any of them. Strategery. 

Anyone have a live shot of Wilbon's face right now?

I want a pair of those flashing blue glasses.

Great D by Stauskas

When did NW get this bad at offense?

It's hard to commit a foul when the other team just passes around the perimeter for 35 seconds...

Boo Northwestern and their 35 second possessions. How are we going to get to triple digits when we only have 50 possessions :(

Assume the position. Now.

F U BIG TEN REFS!!!!

EDIT: Normally I wouldn't comment on MGoPoints, but whomever marked this as trolling: Lighten up, Francis. It was the first foul we committed the entire game. Grab a sense of humor.

36-21 Michigan at the half

This is the opposite of the Nebraska game. They try to reduce the number of possessions but we end up on the high side of the variance of PPP.

Wow. Is it even fair to play M right now?

What a half!
