Beat Ohio?
Ohio Beat!
For my memorable 1000th MGoPoint. Well timed if I do say so myself.
EDIT: POSBANG, then post-victory pancakes all around.

Dick Vitale doesn't care that Burke was a smidge off of his season average because Craft ~"contained him no matter how many points he scores." Also, the game shouldn't be decided by a foul call...but 6 seconds later it should be because Hardaway flagrantly called Craft a douche on his pathetic last shot attempt.
Excuse me while I teabag my maize and blue balls all over Dicky V's scrotum face.
I believe Hardaway's exact words were, "Sit the fuck down. I'm sick of your shit."
being this upset after a victory. How could anyone dribble around Craft when he's clawing your body and raking your face the entire time you have the ball?
It's like holding in football...if you constantly do it they eventually stop calling it...he gets away with a lot of contact
and Vitale wants a foul on the last drive for Burke "bumping" Craft down the floor
Ohio is learning how to get the refs to let them play Duke Defense. I was very glad to see that Michigan adjusted to the "refs don't want to decide the game" after the non-call on the obvious flagrant foul.
Agreed but, in all fairness, Burke was all over Craft on that last drive to the basket. Its a good no-call since Craft did the same thing all game long but it was still technically a foul.
goes surprisingly (awesomely?) well to this
Hail! And those refs... =( at least both sides can complain.
Wow! Nice win!
thanks refs ... i ll take it.
sucked on both ends but ill take it
HAIL TO THE VICTORS!!!
GO BLUE!!!!
Great win. We really need Morgan back.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I hate ohio they play us tough and have made two great games.
a win is a win...but wow.
into signing day
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a block...good no call.
GO BLUE
I hope your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek.
I know I'm probably in the minority and I'll have to watch that play a few more times, but.....I think it was a good no-call. Hardaway's forearm came across the ball mostly and if anything hit some of Crafts hand/upper wrist. He wasn't hit on the forearm or anything that would equate to a blatant foul so to me it was a "block"/no-call. Again, minority and I'd like to see it a couple more times but that's my stance for now!
Don't get me wrong, I wish they still called the game the way they did in 1995 when guys could actually get a little physical, but that's just not the way the game is played anymore. Any other time in the game and they would have called that 10 times out of 10. Actually it wouldn't even have gotten that far because they probably would have called Burke for riding him the whole way, but only after they waited for him to get in the paint so he could get a continuation.
Hah definitely agree about them normally calling a foul on Burke "riding" him before the shot but still awarding shooting-foul free throws!
If Craft's foul wasn't a flagrant, then that last play was a squeaky clean block to me.
All ball.
Basketball refs are the absolute worst... The. Worst. They call bitch fouls for 39 minutes and then craft gets raped and they don't call it. I'm just glad it went our way. Ill claim it as a makeup for the missed shot clock violation.
The NHL and CCHA refs are horrible.
I'll take it. You need to get those calls at home, cause you're not gettin them on the road.
all going to have to go through these games, but I'm pleased with the way they fought back against a stingy and disciplined Ohio team... Great win... GO BLUE!!!
Makeup call because there should have been a flagrant on Craft. Plus it wouldn't have been a shooting foul anyway. The contact was well before the shot
MUPPETS!
Coach B just called them Ohio. Lulz
Love ya, Jim Bob.
I'm here for the posbang
I see what you did there
It was a flagrant on craft, and it was a foul against him. It worked itself out.
The missed flagrant was offset by the no call at the end. Which was a just outcome given that lame missed goaltending earlier anyway.
GO BLUE!
But WOHOOOOOO!
Beat ohio! Happy b-day coach!
I missed all the regular time, but tuned in for the OT. WOW!
But they allowed the players to play at the end. I am glad they didn't get give Craft a flagrant foul at the end. By definition yes it was but come on this is Michigan vs Ohio.
Mmmmmmm Samantha Ponder...
With a side of Samantha Steele.
lulz...it's the same chica!
(She married Christian Ponder, Vikings QB)
Insert "Daaat's the Joke" if something's over my head!
Tough, tough game. We haven't had this type of game all year, and I think this is the kind of game that makes freshmen not quite so young.
We didn't play our best, but we played well enough - just barely. Mr. Timothy Hardaway Jr was a beastman and carried this team during some difficult stretches.
A couple close non-calls down the stretch. I don't have a problem with the no calls, of course, and I will say this: it is always better to be over aggressive in those situations - just don't let them score. Great defensive effort in OT.
Beat Ohio.
Go Blue!
For all of you saying craft got fouled your right. But if you call that it should have been a flagrant one on the foul before and Craft never would have had the ball.
We are breaking the internet right now
Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hooray! And goodnight.
6 three pointers by hardaway... Clutch
Can I get some Mother F'ing Muppets up in here?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
May of made him legend...definitely a transformative performance. Unbelievable play!
Am I the only one who thinks this team is going nowhere come march unless Beilein gets his shit together and reins in Burke? It's almost like he's getting lackadaisical in his historically great set play calling because for the first time he has a superstar handling the ball. I mean honestly, if your going to just run an iso, don't call a timeout. At least then you don't give the other coach and everyone else in the arena a chance to remind his team that you're going to run iso. I've never been so pissed after a win.
I agree with you on this point, unfortunately. I'm getting more nervous about this teams ability the past couple weeks. Yes other teams are coming to form later in the season and we may have peaked early but the youth and other deficiencies are becoming more apparent.
I'n not jumping off ship by any means. They're still a top ten team and very talented. My realistic views on this teams destiny are coming back to earth, though.
Needs to be reigned in. You don't give your best player the ball in those situations and say do what you do.
No, you don't. You get everyone moving to try getting the best player in the country an open look or an open lane so he doesn't have a guy in his face the entire time expecting him to jack up a three. We know from experience that Beilein has an encyclopedia of set plays in his brain, but he's dropped the whole playbook in the trash recently to run the same iso every time. Get him the ball, absolutely. But mix it up a little.
If we cant play better in the paint on both ends were not getting passed the sweet 16...OUr rotation on D was awful and we need to go to the high screen more..
oh and Stauskus drives me nuts..
return to columbus with your tail between your legs scum
off my court!
But I will be all smiles tomorrow as the Buckeye fans whine about the last play of the game.
Same here. Waiting for my pulse to drop...probably need to take another shower.
WE ON
Basketball!! Big Ten!! Michigan!!!!
Protect home court!!!! Go Blue!!!!!
some well deserved rest for a couple days. Wisconsin won't be an easy one but atleast they have some time to get some rest. Morgan should be healed up in time to play some more.
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
I'm thinking about acquiring a ticket & going to the game in madison by myself in full maize & blue gear to troll the badger fans ...

Can I get a pos-bang?
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
And I would like to see us set up something other than a step back three at the end of regulation. That play has been pretty predictable.
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
This team has guts. They were physically pummeled without calls and kept pushing through. Tough kids!
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
wow. that is all

Ok I said goodnight but I'm two points away from 100!!! Be gentle.
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
Bust that century mark!
You can do it!
May be poetic justice for the no flagrant call, the offensive goal tending that wasn't called on OSU in the first half, Craft's bogus 3 when the clock hit zero....I can't believe the horn didn't even go off... and the several other bad calls that went OSU's way, but that was still an ugly win.
We can't live and die by the 3 ala 4 years ago. We were in the bonus and never even made an attempt to attack the basket until the last minute.
Oh well. It's a win and fuck OSU. But this team has a ton of work to do.
The horn DID go off. The ball WAS still in his hands. The no call is inexplicable and unacceptable...except at the end we got the right outcome! Go Blue!!!
The horn went off? I didn't hear it. I guess my nerves distracted me. Then when the shot went in, I wanted to kill the world.
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
Just some fodder for when the buckeyes at your office whine about the end... Remember when Craft hit a 3 after the shot clock already expired? Not complaining about that, are they
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
aaron craft is my mortal enemy. tonight was a pleasant evening. good night to all. Can't wait for Nkemdiche to sign with Michigan tomorrow.
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
I hear Bolivia is amazing.
It might be, but I will never know. Yes I am being annoying, but I'm not being over the line, and I stopped a long time ago.
At least I admit to being annoying, but nothing deserving of that. I will write you a poem.
Good game go blue,
I'm so sorry I annoyed you! :)
Your comment is amazing I moderated it highly. Fuck ohio!
Great win tonight!! Happy birthday Coach B!! Go Blue and Beat Wisconsin!
I think the recently accelerated development of McGary is a big story. He is showing clear signs of becoming a dominant player at the college level.
Really impressed with his fundamentals and his quickness--MOAR STEALZ. If he develops a post game, a reliable mid range jumper, and adds another 20 lbs or so of muscle, he will be an absolute nightmare for opposing teams.
McGary is quickly becoming my favorite player on the team; if he plays he gives it everything he has.
teach him to finish stronger
hell continue to come off the bench and make a huge differebce
Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! And goodnight
Wow. I feel good.
Mustard over ketchup!!!!!
Sucks that it had to go to overtime, but with the refs spotting Ohio 5 points (Crafts 3 and calling a foul when Burke touched Thomas' butt) I'm just glad we won. Good game.
7 they missed a goal tending call in the first half too.
Very true good sir. I remember the play vividly, not sure why I forgot it. That ball was halfway in the bucket when he reached it to slam it home.
Good point.
Time to hit the library wooooooo
I'm glad this game went into OT. Good experience for the kids. And they won b/c they fought defensively like hell at the end. A good lesson for the kids.
WE DID, IN FACT, BEAT Ohio.
/timeforstudying4calcmidterms
this will give you a heart attack. I need a stiffy.
Clutch D!
Michigan beat Ohio and Ace RT me!!
I'm here for the late night gang-bang
wait... i thought this was just... ummm... i think i'm in the wrong place.
I still haven't seen the highlight of the GR111 oop from halfcourt was sick!
Great D when it counted. Burke tried too hard again. Hardaway was so clutch. Woo, we won!
