the letdown is inevitable. Good we had it against Purdue, at home. But yes, if this is more than a one-off it will turn into losses, and we will not have to wait until Wicsy/MSU to see them. We play at the Great House of Swallowed Whistles (unless the home team has the ball) on Sunday. Can't give up 15+ possessions down there and expect to come away with the win.
Bright side -- LeVert continues to grow, and will hopefully get some emphasis on not turning it over quite so much. Walton does as well - both of them seem to have a great deal of untapped upside.
January 30th, 2014 at 11:54 PM ^
I think both have been tapped quite well thus far, actually.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:49 AM ^
How about, "Their upsides have been tapped, but are far from kicked." Or "They've been tapped, but the foam is just settling."

The irony of Gary Moeller's Wife talking about being tapped is incredible. Poor Gary...

The end of the game was difficult to watch. Glad Michigan got the W.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:14 AM ^
Maybe Painter knows the end is near for him and is just bitter. Pressuring and fouling Michigan while they were just trying to run out the clock was bush-league.
January 31st, 2014 at 8:48 AM ^
I was screaming at the TV for the refs to call fouls during those last few sequences, of which they only called one, that bullshit shove of Nik by the kid with the Rip Hamilton mask. They should have called at least two more.
Purdue sucks and their coach is a douche.

Previous games mean nothing. I think fans have a hard time coming to the reality that players and often even coaches were not here for most of our bad memories nor should they care about them.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:02 AM ^
the game never felt in doubt at all, we kept it out of reach and were steady enough to make it not competitive. Good enough; I'll take it.
I expect we'll have better focus and consistency at IU.

We're good.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:22 AM ^
If we start having games where Robinson and LeVert are both "on," goodnight nurse. I think there is a level of excellence we expect from Stauskas and I think Walton is starting to become similarly dependable.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:24 AM ^
Assembly Hall reminds me of the old Boston Garden. You always know some BS homecooking is gonna take place. I still think we go in there and get the W. I hope to see us play some 1-3-1 on Sunday.
January 31st, 2014 at 12:35 AM ^
Haven't we been playing 1-3-1 the whole time?

I'm not even a little bit worried about the sloppiness. The last week and a half should prove that tonight was the exception rather than the rule with this team, and Levert and Walton's play went to another level (minus the turnovers). Walton in particular has gotten noticeably better every game this season. Also our defense looked the best I've seen it I think. We are in good shape.

Also some of those putbacks came when we tried out a 2-3 zone on a few possessions. We did not rebound well out of the zone and paid for it.

Won't see a senior laden team, but there will be a lot more experience next year with Levert, McGary, and Albrecht coming back from that class along with GRIII if he does the smart thing (wouldn't bet on it in this age but let's hope). Then Walton and especially Irvin will be vastly improved, and we have Horford coming back as the senior getting big time minutes. I'd be looking forward to it if I wasn't hoping for the season of Stauskas to last forever. Beilein will go down as one of the all time great coaches at Michigan when it's all said and done.

Purdue always gives us a hard time and we're coming off a tough stretch to boot.
Levert and Walton keep getting better, Nik is, well....Nik, Morgan/Horford keep playing at a very dependable level.
GRIII needs to get back to playing the way he was before these last 2 games, I have faith in him, he steps up a lot when we need him to.
The coaches are top notch, we're in good hands, if we can go a minimum 6-4 before the BTT and end up going at least 22-8 after the regular season, I would have to imagine that would put us as the 1st or 2nd seed, great position to be in.
Just think how good we would be had McGary been playing all along and healthy.
January 31st, 2014 at 6:35 AM ^
January 31st, 2014 at 8:45 AM ^
I think he means 1 or 2 seed in the Big Ten Tourney.
January 31st, 2014 at 1:01 AM ^
Payback for letting the game at crisler get away last year.
January 31st, 2014 at 1:31 AM ^
January 31st, 2014 at 2:08 AM ^
Hard to get excited playing Purdue. At least they can win when they put it on cruse control. I think they will be up for IA on the road.
January 31st, 2014 at 2:28 AM ^
McGary could also come back and increase his draft stock very easily with a veteran team surrounding him. It depends on how much he just wants to get to the NBA right now vs. being a lottery pick.
January 31st, 2014 at 3:33 AM ^
do anything but score garbage baskets?
If UM rebounded better they'd have won by 30.
January 31st, 2014 at 3:35 AM ^
The guy next to me had on enough awful cologne for 2-3 dudes. Naturally, he spent most of the game yelling about how a particular player stinks and should be benched for making so many mistakes.
January 31st, 2014 at 3:39 AM ^
I've enjoyed the B1G season so far. I'll still love the team even if they don't win at Assembly hall, but if we win there, I will love them even more!
