Michigan Basketball vs. Northwestern Open Thread

It sure is fun to watch Michigan basketball
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
So...do we get to 90 before we empty the bench?
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
I would love to see the offense go through McGary late in this game to get him intigrated into the offense more...
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
Man a few years ago I would have never thought Michigan basketball could make me this happy.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
We look like we're getting much better at the alley oop, sweet baby!

Tim Hardaways dad seems more like a fan this year than past years. Past years he seemed like a scout.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
It must be da hat.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
wasn't he actually a scout at that point?
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
Yeah and he might still be, but he just seems so much more relaxed now. He actually seems like a dad and like a fan.

Can't wait for the nuts to get the same treatment as the Cats are tonight.

January 3rd, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
holy shit!
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
Do we get free Dominos if we hit 100?
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
There ya go Nik!
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
Burke is so smooth.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
Good timing.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Nice to see Nik hit that 3. I'm sure that'll help his confidence as its always better to end on a make.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
the announcers for all these games are just marveling at our beloved team.
I asked this earlier in the thread, who do you try and focus on stopping, talk about having to pick your poison.
I can't wait to beat down ohio in C'Bus and their anemic shooting team, we'll see how good Matta is at coaching when he doesn't have a stacked line-up like in past years.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
No 100 for us...oh well.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
Obligatory McLimans 3 point chuck.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
BANK.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
begin now
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
Should I feel disappointed when they only lead by 29 after 39 minutes?
...
Just got an idea for a First-World Problems meme.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
We went to OT twice with NW last year. Are we better? Yeah, we're a lot better.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
Note that last year's NW team would beat this one by 10-15.
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
All I can say is WoW...
January 3rd, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
SLURPPP on ESPN2...

On the replay shot of Stauskus' first 3 point make, there's a fan in purple right behind the basket cheering. LOL! That must be poster Wendyk5 who said the family had to wear purple if they wanted those seats.
January 3rd, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
We couldn't do it. They actually gave us a stack of purple shirts to put on, and we couldn't do it. So there we were, surrounded by good samaritans - some genuine NW fans, some Michigan fans - all wearing purple. But we did refrain from cheering for Michigan. I instructed everyone not to, and they abided. Hardest thing we ever had to do. Confession: I clapped, but i kept my hands low so no one would see them.

Michigan came out with intensity on both ends of the floor and scored a knockout after 5 minutes. I would like to see better defense for 40 minutes (I am greedy...I know) but, damn, they look impressive. Trey Burke is the best player in the country and this team is flat out loaded. I look forward to watching every game and wouldn't miss a second of it. I don't want to start looking ahead to Jan. 13th just yet but........
January 3rd, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
... but is "that what he said?"

Great stretch comeback by AZ as CO collapses. Then with the game tied, CO has a buzzer-beater disallowed. I don't think I've ever seen one closer. Home cooking? Heading to OT...
January 3rd, 2013 at 9:30 PM ^
recruits lots of players many programs didn't want and creates a team that is tremendously fun to watch . . .
but the "m-wolverine criteria" says that this game is not a data point to be used in concluding that Beilein is a great coach . . . only final fours and national championships count.
Before m-wolverine's insights, I was sure Beilein was a great coach, but now I'm not so sure (/s).

says that a great coach can't be better than izzo.
You don't seem to realize that determining who is better is a subjective endeavor. It's not objective.
Also, there are far more data points than this game that show that Beilein is a great coach. He has built up 4-5 different programs successfully. Izzo inherited the one he still coaches. Beilein is better. Just accept the opinion and deal with it.
Your taunting is cute too. Now off to bed, little defender of izzo.
