After a tough loss on Sunday....We march into Gopher Land and completely out-class them on their home floor in a must-win for them.  Impressive to say the least.  I really expect us to run the table until the Indiana game. That game at Assembly Hall will be absolutely monstrous...but then again every game is huge in this conference.  Great coaching job by Belien tonight and terrific performances by Spike Caris and McGary off of the bench.  That type of bench production in a hostile road environment speaks volumes as to the ceiling of this club.  Michigan could legitimately win another Big Ten title and ....gasp....a National Title.  Haven't been able to say that since the early 90's and it feels great!

they look like crap tonight but they will be ready for us in their house...

 

I don't think our team can afford to overlook anyone... even though we can play with anyone...

Great teams find a way to respond after a tough loss, and that's exactly what Michigan did tonight. Played the #8 team in the country on the road and came up with a big road win to right the ship and keep the momentum going. Hardaway, Burke and Robinson all had great games tonight. The GRIII dunk will be allowed top 10 tomorrow.

That was fun!  I kept waiting for Minnesota to go on a huge run.  I did not expect our transition game to be that dominant tonight.  Little sloppy at the end but they held on. 

This was pretty huge not just because the Gophers were so highly ranked but because they don't make the return trip to Crisler this year. 

Pretty amazing how we couldn't win at the barn for 16 years, even against shitty Gopher teams, and now we've won 4 in a row there.

Minny will win many games this year, and any win against the top half of the conference is a good one.  Kiddies were much better this evening than at OSU, so chalk one up for "gaiing from experience."   Also matched them fairly well physically, and they are likely as tough as anyone in the country in that regard.  Would like a close-out when they started to press, but I guess that's one of the bennies of getting up by 15+.

Huge, huge win.  Games like these, when contenders win on each others' courts, are what will decide the conference title.  Now we've gotten two of the toughest road trips out of the way already.
