a huge win. That said any road win in the B1G is worth its weight in gold

Not pretty, but we'll take it. Probably going to be many more like that one.

HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!! on the road without McGary OR Robinson...we have 3 winnable games in front of us...HUGE WIN
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Great win. Kenpom is a dirty liar!
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
I love 2014.

January 2nd, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
That was too close. Hey, Wolverines. Next time when you are winning by four with minimal time left and your opponents are shooting a three, let them have it. Just back away and let them shoot.

If you see the replay it was a total flop. Like punter-flop. No one touched him
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
Ugly finish but very well played in the previous couple minutes to pull ahead and turn a tied game into a 6 pt lead. Had to dig out of an early second half hole, too.
There are no bad road victories in this conference, especially not when you consider the injury situation and the youth at PG. Good win, guys!

January 2nd, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
any road win in the big ten is good. But that was way too close
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
Why doesn't Beilein ever put a person on the in-bounds man?

Glad they could hang on. Here's to the start of a better year in 2014!

came up big. game balls to you two dudes.

Those fuckers just cost me a couple months off my life.

I guess Walton should have just laid on the ball while the clock kept running.
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
There's no such thing as a Big 10 ref...
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
officially no. but practically yes. the BIG generally has the same small group of dudes officiating its games. they just are allowed to also ref other conference games too.
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
I hate the pool of refs that generally do Big Ten (B1G) games.......

He was looking good. Irvin was very highly ranked coming in, and is showing some of that skill off.

In 2013 that heave would've went in. Backboards do not exist in 2014.

and turned an ankle. The good news is that while he did not return to the game he was on the sidelines and not back in the locker room.
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
We beat KenPom on the road - no matter how you do that, it's a huge win.
Now we get Northwestern at home (who just get decapitated by Wisco) followed by Nebraska and Penn State. Really crucial to get off to a 4-0 start and this win was probably the toughest part of that.
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
the good...we WON...Irvin is coming alive and we handled the pressure fairly well once we settled down.. Road wins are Huge..Stauskas was solid. Horford had a couple key baskets but missed a easy layup..we need more in the middle. we found a way to win a road game at a very tough place to play..
The bad..Walton missing TWO fts at the end..Im not impressed much wth him..I think he was overrated..Levert CONTINUALLY plays out of control and Morgan is worthless..
the ugly...Losing Robinson...if he doesnt come back right away that would be pretty much a complete Disaster for this team... who lets face it.. is struglling
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
we will be lucky to get another game from horford like that the rest of the year. 14 pts and 9 rebounds. by far his best game of career. 6-8 shooting. you can't ask for more than that.
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
He is what he is. A solid space eater who can grab a few boards, play some D and make the occassional put back. WIth no real stud in our front court I will take a solid vet like Morgan.

I think Walton does things many here aren't seeing because they hone in while he's leading the point on offense and realize it's not Trey Burke. For example, he had a couple nice (needed) rebounds; one late-ish he skied high for and if he didn't get the ball it was going into Minnesota's hands again. A couple first half drives we're actually pretty nice, one hanging in the air to get off and damn near putting it in over Elliason; they were misses, sure, but he attacked and put up some Burke-esque shots which will fall for him down the road. He hit a big three as well, mid-2nd half. A PG who can shoot is always huge.
Horford played pretty well. I think him and Jordan bring different things to the table, both have their negatives, also (Jordan wouldn't have thrown down that big time dunk from Stauskas' assist, late, for example).
Overall a very big win in a good road environment playing the full 2nd half without an NBA player who's especially been playing well lately.
*Also, I do not like Pitino the Young...yet. I don't like the way he looks (shallow, yes, I'm an asshole I admit it) and his walking up the sideline and the camera showing so much of him was annoying (albeit very minor).
