Didn't see that coming after most of that game. I don't know what the upper limit of this team is but they have a chance to pull off an upset of two, Go Blue!

Indiana is just as young as us, except twice as talented. Sigh good effort.

From the corner to tie. Can't really ask for anything more. This is why you can't miss 2 easy layups and give up 4orebs to guards with under 7 to play. Fn a another brutal way to lose. 3 times in last 4

outrebounded by 10 by one of the smallest teams in the BIG. that and those couple missed easy layups cost us the game. they could have stolen this one.

No reason Walton should try and come back this season. He should just rest up and get ready for next season. It doesn't matter what sport it is or who the coach is, Michigan has never been able to close out games. Glad I was at work and didn't waste my time on this crap.

Huh? Michigan basketball has generally been very good at closing out games the last few years.

a pretty half-assed statement. Michigan is playing without early departures and their starting backcourt and starting 3 freshmen. The fact they are competitive at all is a damn victory.

You missed a pretty good game. I ain't even mad they lost when I'm usually all torn up about it. I could've killed a three-legged dog after the Iowa game, but this one...and the State game...left me feeling proud of the team's effort.

... is to leave it all out there on the floor like the rest of the guys did today. That attitude will get M back to Big Ten title winning form much quicker than your approach of "constructive pessimism" to coin a term.

Damn. Missed a great opportunity there. Without the 5-7 points they're always spotted for some home cookin' we could have walked out of there with an enjoyable win.

Where have they been hiding this Irvin guy? He looks like he could be a real player. Next year is looking better and better.

entire game transformed during the season while being the number one focus of every defense he faces. He's progressing fine.

During the game, I saw something in Chatman that let me know he is nowhere near ready for this level of basketball: he ended up in a one-on-one situation with Yogi on the arc and his legs were shaking like a newborn giraffe. He was all shook up and Yogi hadn't even done anything with the ball yet. It seemed like a microcosm of his whole season. "Oh, God, what do I do?" is the caption that would appear below a .gif of that moment.

Actually I think he held his ground on that brief Yogi possession. Twice I think Yogi made a move to get around but Chatman moved his feet and kept Yogi in front and forced him to remain on the perimeter and pass the ball off briefly.

But twice he was on the block during a free throat and looked like he was on ice skates getting shoved under the basket with ease.
