“It’s January 27th and not one of you in here can remember who was No. 1 last January 27th.”
(although I hope it was from an interview yesterday. lol)
January 28th, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^
He was being interviewed on the court immediately after the game and he said that he didn't care about where they are now, he wants them to peak in March, and then gave the above quote.
January 28th, 2013 at 6:20 PM ^
Coach is right about that, but what he doesn't account for is that people do remember is which teams were highly ranked throughout the season. Those teams tend to get more press, hype, etc., especially when, as here, it's the first time in two decades that Michigan's been at the very top of the college basketball heap.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
It matters. Congrats to Coach Beilein and the team.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
how close was it?
January 28th, 2013 at 1:27 PM ^

We're first in the AP by 39 points, while they're only first in the coaches' poll by three points. Combine the two and we're the #1 overall.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:24 PM ^
January 28th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Burke says they don't give out banners for #1 rankings in January.

Regardless, still damn proud to be a Michigan Wolverine.

Officially official! Great news!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:27 PM ^
January 28th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
I like the attitude:
No, you don't get a banner for being #1, but it sure as hell doesn't hurt to be. Let's win the Big Ten, let's win the NC.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
Wow, we got 51 first place votes! KAnsas wasn't even close!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
I know we have a game before but HOLY FUCK SATURDAY AT ASSEMBLY HALL (YTAH)!
Gonna be a fun week!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
Sidenote re: YTAH, are there two other schools in the same conference anywhere that have the same name for both their football and basketball stadia?
January 28th, 2013 at 1:30 PM ^
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

WOOOOOOOOOOO!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
It really doesn't matter, but it kinda matters... a nice boost going into the February gauntlet of at Indiana, Ohio, at Wisconsin, at MSU, Penn St., Illinois and at Penn St. Survive that with 1 or possibly 2 losses and #1 ranking / #1 seed / B1G title are all but assured.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
Muppets?
January 28th, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
Saturday is a GREAT #1/#3 matchup
January 28th, 2013 at 1:34 PM ^

It shall be unanimous following M's victory over IU this weekend. GO BLUE
January 28th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
Obligatory plug about not overlooking Northwestern.
But, exactly.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
Gotta give you that. All of my #1-induced confidence comes with a knock on wood.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:37 PM ^
Seriously...doesn't anyone check the board before posting a new thread?
January 28th, 2013 at 1:38 PM ^
Hail Beilein!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
I didn't realize that the AP conducted a "Marching Band" ranking. But it's nice to know that the Michigan Marching Band is Number 1! Just like MBB (Men's Basketball).
Go Blue!
January 28th, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
Michigan Men's Basketball
Either way.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
Eh. I fixed it to avoid any possible confusion.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
January 28th, 2013 at 1:58 PM ^
If it wasn't Kansas.
This week.

January 28th, 2013 at 1:50 PM ^
I have no idea who that is, but yes, she is damn impressive.
January 28th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
WE ON!!!!
It's a bonus that this team is 1. So much fun to watch and 2. Filled with a team of kids who committed to us when the current level of success was far from guaranteed
January 28th, 2013 at 1:47 PM ^
Awesome. It'll be amazing to hear us referred to as "the number one team in the nation" for the Northwestern game.
