Groce is a clown. You wait until you're down 15 and with less than 3 minutes to go to try to get a steal? So glad Beilein is our coach.

Another impressive thing is that we're dominating without really shooting that well. Hardaway and Stauskas are cold from downtown.

I guess
I guess
it depends on the situation, but in some cases I'll take the stingy defense of Levert over the ability of Stauskas to hit threes.... Threes may not always be on as we have seen, but defense can always be there with effort.

Other than getting the win today the big news is Morgan appears to be healthy again and Levert in for Stauskis makes us a much better defensive team capable of forcing turnovers which lead to easy baskets....I like McGary and Stauskis coming off the bench

He's got to give us more when he's not making shots.
Do that and he'll play more. Don't, and LeVert gives you more because he's our 1st or 2nd best defender on the perimeter.

Michigan was +18 with him on the floor. Such a huge impact player on this team. If not for that stupid Wisconsin buzzer beater (do we have to endure buzzer beaters every game now it seems?) Michigan would be in prime position to run at the B1G title.
Still, there are not many teams that will match up to Michigan in the NCAA prior to the sweet 16 and likely not until the Elite 8.
