Think they'll go 7-5 the rest of conference play. Should put them right in the middle of the B1G tourny
I am supposed to go to the Wednesday game in Ypsilanti actually - pretty excited as I don't get much time at this point in the year, between meetings and all that fun stuff, to take a time out for Michigan athletics in person and not on the blog or what I catch on TV or on a laptop. Hopefully, it is a little warmer than they are forecasting, but such is April in Michigan. Congratulations to the team for a very successful weekend in Champaign.
