I have no doubt that your Wolverines will show up for the whole game in AA... It seemed like OSU played a little Tressel ball in the second half, trying to waste time and playing "not to lose." It almost cost the Bucks and it was not good for my blood pressure. You have a great team and I am really impressed with your coach. How long has Beilein (sp?) been there?

Poise from THJ and Trey. That was the most disappointing thing I saw out there

That is a nice thing to say, and I appreciate it coming from a huge Buckeye fan. I have a feeling that Aaron Craft isn't too well liked around these parts, but he is one of my favs because of his tough D. With that said, I would trade you a few unnamed players for Trey Burke :)

Let's be honest, nobody
Let's be honest, nobody
Let's be honest, nobody expected to go undefeated. It's always tough to lose to Ohio State, but we really didn't come out to play. If we hadn't gotten ourselves into a 21 point defecit, the outcome would be a completely different story. Hopefully this is one of those "learning experiences" and we can take out Minnesota on the road.
My biggest concern is our disappearance of points. We were averaging 80+ points and shooting 51.4% coming into the Nebraska game, and since then we've scored 62 and 53 and shot 38.9% and 38.3%, respectively.
HAIL.

Spot on

The biggest problem with this team is the same that every beilein team has: Too much reliance on the 3. That's going to be a problem come March. They need to do more inside, drive to the basket and draw fouls and stop settling for jacking 3s. I think that's all we did with 5 straight possessions in the last 2 minutes. No set plays at all...just dribble and jack.
And thank you for actually using the proper name of our rival. This "Ohio" crap makes us look stupid after last year's NCAAs. We lost to a good Ohio State team, we don't play the Bobcats this year. And road wins in the Big Ten are going to be at a serious premium, so there is no shame in losing today. It was bound to happen. Expect a dogfight at Minny too. We got a tough stretch ahead with @MN, IU, MSU, and WI in the next few weeks. We'll see what this team is made of.

The team has suffered from slow starts all year but were able to overcome. Today that caught up to them. What turns Mister Hand into Mister Fist is losing to Ohio, but it is one loss--this isn't football, a loss doesn't kill your season. And this might be what the team needs--a good excuse for Beilein to raise hell in practice and get the team back into a disciplined non-3 chucking offense.

The pick and roll. You know teams like state, minny and Illinois are going to do that when we play them. I think using the Wings THJ or Stauskas would be a good way to combat this bc it would get a shorter defender in Trey's face and would allow those guys to catch the ball going to the rim.

Depth
Depth
Did anyone else notice the announcers kept saying Michigan didn't have depth? We played 8 players (9 if you count Horford's 2 min) and they played 7 (8 if you count Laquinin ross' 3 min). so whats the big deal???
Go Blue. Greetings from SEC country.

soft loss
soft loss
yet again we have proved that when it comes time to show character we fall down...
We are currently soft ...both in basketball and football and cant win the program defining games.....we need to retract our expectations from mich sports ...they are good but not great and lag behind the top echelon of sports programs in the country..(ready for a flamebait tag)
