Michigan vs. Wisconsin Snowflakes
Here are mine:
1. Switching up the D/pressed to steal a few possessions towards the end of the 1st half was fantastic. Really the catalyst for the long killer run.
2. How many times are people going to think they can shoot over Hunter?
3. My god we left at least 6-8 points under the basket in the first half, then another early in the 2nd. Add 10 more points to this blowout.
4. When our guys just catch and shoot a 3 without thinking /hesitating they are just so smooth and money. Muscle memory takes over.
5. Hunter is the best 7 foot+ primary post big man I can remember in college basketball on both sides of the ball.
6. Coach K can eat a fucking big dick sandwich. He wanted to cancel the season because his team sucks.
7. Hunter’s hands are right there with Webber and McGary.
8. Mike Smith found a mid-range game today. That 15 foot pull-up is such a great weapon when the pick and roll doesn’t go exactly to plan.
9. Great to see Zeb smoke that long 2. So much talent on this team to keep him off the court.
10. LOL at Potter & Trice staying out there against the end of our bench.
11. Big ten coaches have to be super bummed to see what Juwan has going on in Ann Arbor, BEFORE the #1 class arrives next fall.

Hot take: we are good at basketball
January 12th, 2021 at 9:13 PM ^
B1G if true
January 12th, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
That is a hot take because this team is definitely beyond merely good. I can't believe they make every team look like some low-level SWAC game.
January 12th, 2021 at 8:57 PM ^
The Wolverines are the first team in history to beat 3 straight ranked teams by 19 or more points.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
So we went BAMA on their ass!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
We want Bama?
January 12th, 2021 at 8:57 PM ^
Most impressive win I’ve ever watched. 40 point lead against top 10 team with the consistency of Wisconsin smh
January 12th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Juwan doing Harbaugh's dirty work to pay back Wisconsin for humiliating us in football.
January 12th, 2021 at 8:58 PM ^
I'm too giddy to write my thoughts coherently.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
Michigan Basketball is the new pornhub!
January 12th, 2021 at 10:06 PM ^
You can spray that again.
January 12th, 2021 at 10:48 PM ^
There is a recycle time involved with doing that.
January 12th, 2021 at 8:58 PM ^
A blizzard of snowflakes. Let it snow!
January 12th, 2021 at 8:59 PM ^
First team in college basketball history with three consecutive wins of 19+ over ranked teams.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:00 PM ^
Up 40 and didn’t even win by 30... sad. Juwan lost the team in the second half, needs to get that fixed, and quickly.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
Total disaster. Fire Warde.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
This is a special team.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
Michigan made a case to be ranked #1. I know they won’t jump that high, but that was the most convincing win of the entire season thus far. Not just the most convincing Michigan win. The most convincing win of the entire NCAA college basketball season.
January 12th, 2021 at 10:24 PM ^
Please, please, please let them do this to Iowa, too.
January 13th, 2021 at 1:07 AM ^
It really is time for Michigan to be at #3. Gonzaga & Baylor are both really good and have taken care of business as undefeated teams. Michigan is smoking the big ten right now and deserve to be above any team with a loss. Period.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
I remember a similar game against Purdue in March of 1987. They were a top 10 team and we blew them out by 30 points. This game was similar to that one.
January 12th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
Watching Michigan put 116 on Purdue in March of 1969 was quite the riotous deal-it was one incredible offensive show...I wonder what that number would have been if there was a three-point line!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
Someone asked about this earlier this week.
Ace, PLEASE give us One Frame At A Time!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
This team is too hot for snowflakes. It should be raining magma.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
Just think about this...Colin Castleton just dropped 21 points and is playing well in a Power 5 league. Not sure if he would even get many minutes on this team. This squad is LEGIT!!!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
I am F5ing on KenPom and Torvik so hard right now.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
Michigan is up to 4 on Kenpom.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
"Basketball school," no longer in jest
January 12th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
It's going to be hard to not expect blowouts going forward!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
Masterpiece of a game tonight.
I'm leery of Izzo.... he knows beating us is his WHOLE season.
He feels the tide turning in his little swarthy bones.
Stay focused and intense!
Win the Game.
Go Blue.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
Fortunately for us, Izzo isn't suiting up, and their players don't seem to have a flipping clue what's going on.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
But at least they look good slapping the floor.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
this year's Spartan squad is so bad they don't even do that correctly
January 12th, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
They also don't have the crowd to help them out either.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:19 PM ^
This game reminded me of the 29-point beatdown we gave Izzo a few years ago.
They gotta get out of 11th place for me to be leery of them.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
I was thinking about the Florida blowout in the tournament.
We've had such a great decade of hoops - thank you, Michigan basketball!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
Mike Smith was an assassin.
This team is flying right now.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
Totally agree with point number 7, been saying this since I first laid eyes on him. We’ve had talented big men with bricks for hands, he catches everything and makes a huge difference.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
My honest opinion when we were up 18-17: “I know Wisconsin basketball too well. These fuckers are going to go neck and neck with us until the final seconds. And we all know what happens when Wisconsin needs a critical basket.”
I just love being wrong. I am so damn happy right now.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
I said the same to my son right around that time. I love being wrong.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
That was so much fun to watch! Juwan is going to build a dynasty.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
Just so impressed with how hard this team plays at both ends of the court. And, they are so connected.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
Up 30+ deep in the second half and the intensity was still crazy high. Most dominant effort I've seen in a really long time. Soooooooo much fun.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:51 PM ^
They let off when they went up by 40. Fucking slackers.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
Eli Brooks, Isaiah Livers, and Austin Davis played for a National Runner-up team...and they are not ready for that to be their career highlight.
If I can pick one thing that needs a bit improvement it is Smith and his early turnovers. If he can clean that up, which he has since the beginning of the year...we may not have a hole on this team
January 12th, 2021 at 11:25 PM ^
Indeed. That title game feels like a lifetime ago but Livers started that night!
January 12th, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
It's time to talk up Michigan as the 3 best team in the country along with Gonzaga and Baylor this season. It's weird to be disappointed that Michigan didn't win by 30+ points tonight but I can't be too greedy with tonight's outcome.
Also, the last time Gonzaga lost a basketball game was the Atlantis Tournament Championship game where they got blown out by Michigan by 19 points.
January 12th, 2021 at 9:38 PM ^
Don’t think that’s correct—Gonzaga ended last season with two losses, one of which had to have come after UM beat them over Thanksgiving.
EDIT: They lost at BYU in late February.
January 12th, 2021 at 10:03 PM ^
Shush, let me have this
January 12th, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
Duke just lost to Virginia Tech...
