THAT was what we needed! We were down by like 15 with 10 minutes left! We didn't have any turnovers for the first 18 minutes of the 2nd half, went 6-8 on 3FG during one stretch, LLP stepped up big time, Manny did what a star is supposed to do down the stretch, and DeShawn kept us afloat throughout. Not to mention JB switching to the 1-3-1 was clearly a smart move. Go Blue! Great win, given the hole we dug ourselves.

I never said we dominated the game. I was more pointing to the people at the front of the thread who were upset at Beilein for "being a bad coach because he recruited guys who can't shoot." It was ridiculous to see all the bandwagoners at the beginning of the thread who think they know more about coaching than Johnny B. I would think this just goes to show that Mr. Beilein has a great strategy but any team in the nation is going to be down big when they shoot 34% from the field, miss every 3 they shoot, and turn the ball over 8 times per half (such as the wolvies did in the first half).

I totally owe everyone an apology. I turned on the game when we were five down and it took til we were 15 down to realize what a jinxy mess I was making. Apparently it took most of the second half for the team to overcome that kind of misjudgement on my part. My bad, yo.

I'll try and spend the rest of the season pretending my TV doesn't get any Michigan games. Games I have watched this season: Marquette, Alabama, BC, Indiana. It's a sacrifice I'll have to make for the good of the team.

We'll just have to live with the fact that we have to at least shoot decently to win - everything will flow from that. This team can't lead with rebounding or defense. We don't have to shoot lights out - just enough for the other team to respect it, keep the scoreboard moving, and allow us to set up the zone defense when we want to. It was amazing how this turned when Novak and LLP started hitting, we were able to get into the zone, Penn State started missing and turning it over, and the run was on.

It was fun to watch - looking for more in the next couple of weeks.
