so much for that

83 - 75 the forces of heaven is your final from "The Barn."
Abort, Retry, Fail?
As Johnny Drama would pronounce....VICTORRRYYYYYYYY
Nice tough win. Withstood the Minny run.
I take a perverse glee in delaying the viewing of Duke.

I was so close to guessing the score and winning stuff with 84 - 76. Nevertheless, I'm glad Michigan got the win.

this is hands down the best Minn team in 30 years and we beat them by 8 at the barn. never within 7 in the 2nd half.
Harvard: The MICHIGAN of the East
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
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!
Go Blue
Great way to bounce back with a win on the road. Go Blue!
Tough win for Michigan. Minnesota played tough down the end. Gotta work on the rebounding an free throws
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.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
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.
Go Blue! Always!
As far as I remember, that was our 4th straight win at The Barn.
edit: beaten to the punch

we played solid on the road at a top ten teams home court.
This win was sooooo important
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.
I was just about to search for this on YouTube.
Then again, I probably could have just waited until the SC top ten.
Goodnight to all that complain about Morgan this and Burke that. Great game that wasn't very close. Go Blue


How many of those were Minnesota fouling at the end though?
