Not sure why all the haters.

Young team that goes on the road in the big 10. The big 10 is easily the best conference. Even these crap teams are hard to beat on the road.

And D Walt makes a half court shot as I'm typing.

HAHAHA that Walton Jr. shot just made me $100 ... I had Michigan First Half -2.5 Spread ... I was pissed about JMo missing the 2nd FT on the 1&1, and then Walton Jr buried it. Awesome.

Maybe we should start chucking deep shots like that, since our half court offense has been so dysfunctional.

I hope that wakes these guys up.  Just really seems like they're going through the motions tonight.  Nebraska laying back defensively and just sort of clogging the lane and waiting for rebounds is lulling us to complacency, I think.  Defensively, we just aren't moving well.

Nebraska has very little talent, but I'm impressed with the screens they throw and the general flow of their offense. Give Miles some talent and they could be pretty good.

I think that's the first halfcourter I've ever seen a Michigan player make.  

I remember Chauncey Billups making one (against the Nets?) in the playoffs for the Pistons, but don't ever remember it happening to Michigan.

Nebraska is playing some solid defense, credit to them.  Michigan has struggled at times to get a flow going.  Backdoor cuts and the pick n roll have been limited and difficult to maneuver due to the aforementioned defense.  I'm curious to see what Beilein and co. come up with for an offensive scheme for the beginning minutes of the 2nd half to open things up.

Mentioned multiple times tonight that Mitch is out all year. Has this actually been said by the program? All I have seen is indefinitely.

Halftime question: Does Mitch come back? Would he even get drafted after not playing much and back surgery? Does he risk another year of college bball or try to get a pay check?
