Michigan NCAA Tournament Game 1 (and evening games) Open Thread

There IS a Liveblog on the front page...but I have a hard time getting messages sent on my tablet/mobile there, so this is an alternative. Game 1 of hopefully 6, a new season truly begins tonight. This is what people will remember, and anything else can be put behind us. Enjoy every game we have left with Burke. Go Blue!

THIS is how Michigan needs to play the entire game. When we play with energy, and positive energy...not chip on our shoulder energy, we're a GREAT basketball team.

I don't know about everyone else, but THIS is why I've been so down on Michigan lately. I watch us lose @ Indiana and I honestly wasn't mad. I thought we played one hell of a game without Morgan.

But when we lose and we're "ho-hum" all game....ugh, it drives me CRAZY. You can control energy, passion and effort. You can't always control the ball going through the net, officials, etc.

That little spurt post-Trey's injury was exactly the Michigan we need to see for 40 minutes.

That said, let's see if we keep it up. I think part of the reason for the spurt was Burke being out and everyoen raising their level of play. Hopefully it stays that way.
