Gritty fucking win!!!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
There's a special satisfaction in taking the grit to Wiscy, too. Sand away all their dirty edges. Also, eff Davidson.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:23 PM ^
Big time gritty, they showed so much fortitude to overcome the layoff, the refs, on the road against a ranked team looking for revenge
Impressive, impressive win. This team can win it all!
Can't wait to see how they play once they get their groove back, just ask Stella!
Edit: we outscored them 40-20 in the 2nd half, wow!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
I don’t think you can say the refs were that bad. Other than the elbow, Wiscy picked up way more whistles. If you think this was a bad ref game, you will really be angry later on
February 14th, 2021 at 3:39 PM ^
Grittier than Gritty Kitty cat litter!!??
February 14th, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
That was crazy. It never seems to go that way for Michigan.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
Coach Howard.... Coach of the Year!!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
Yes. I especially credit Coach Juwan for recruiting Dickinson. 15 rebounds. Potter and Reuvers combined for 0. ZERO
February 14th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
I loved when they showed him on the sideline in the last 5 minutes and he was just groovin to the music in the stadium. So calm and collected. Way to go Blue!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
Bang away!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
Big one. Go blue!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
smash, where you been? everything okay on the relocation?
February 14th, 2021 at 3:31 PM ^
Good, other than a little seasonal affective disorder. Games like this help!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:42 PM ^
suggest two things. one, get outside no matter the weather. walk, run, ride, get a snow machine and ride it, chop wood, chase the neighbor's dog, whatever, but get outside.
second, i think folks say these are helpful. regardless, i hope your SAD gets whipped as bad as what we just did to wisconsin in the second half. take care.
February 14th, 2021 at 4:40 PM ^
Covid restrictions are a drag, too.
February 14th, 2021 at 4:01 PM ^
I'm going to second what Xtramelanin said about getting outside. I've made a serious effort to do that over the last ten years or so, and it's helped immensely. It's also helped me get in better shape. Going early in the morning seems to be most effective, although I have to admit that I find that difficult.
Having said, lots of areas don't get that much sunshine in the winter. So I supplement with light therapy (i.e., a SAD light). It's helpful, but not as good as getting outside on a sunny day like it is here.
Finally, vitamin D supplementation is worthwhile. Most people get most vitamins from their diet, but vitamin D seems to be an exception. I also personally have some dietary issues which cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies. I would be careful not to go over the maximum upper tolerable limit (4000 IU, I *think*), though, as it is possible to overdose on fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D and E).
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
13-2 run to end the game. Won the second half by 20. 23-8 run after falling down by 7 with 10 minutes left. What a coach and what a team!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:15 PM ^
Best rebounding M team I can remember
February 14th, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
What a gutty performance! Love the presence of this team...so calm and cool. No panic
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
Calling it now, B1G Coach of the Year: Juwan Howard. The staff's in game adjustments are so good.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
Should be unanimous.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:16 PM ^
Agree. This win was about coaching at halftime. Howard made adjustments and got the team motivated to come back.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:32 PM ^
National Coach of the Year as well!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
What a great post-Covid comeback - in multiple ways!
Unreal defense in 2nd Half. Wisconsin had no idea where to go and what to do. 28 seconds of scrambling and prayer shots.
Gutsy and great team win! Go Blue!!!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
Wisconsin almost always hits the prayer shots, so even with the great defense, I was still nervous as hell whenever they were forced to throw one up.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:38 PM ^
i think they used up almost all their prayers in the first half. everything was going in. not so much in the second.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
LFG!!!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:04 PM ^
They really returned to form in the 2nd half. Great resilience by this team.
Go Blue.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:34 PM ^
Not sure if the stats bear it out for the season, but the offense looks more efficient and electric when they’re playing in front of Juwan & co..
February 14th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
Unbelievable win! 23 days without game. 18 days without practice. Another win against a ranked team on the road. This team is amazing!!!!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
That was an impressive second half from a team coming off a 3 week shutdown. Kudos to players and staff.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
Im playing muppets even if the criteria w this W are not met.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
this was us after davison decked smith and instead of a technical for him, our bench got called for one. outrageous.
but then, slowly but surely, we got off the ground, wiped the glass shards off, and got the bad guy just like in BH Cop.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
Get up Axel !!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:07 PM ^
what are you going to arrest me for, jaywalking?!?!?
February 14th, 2021 at 3:10 PM ^
Lol, yes
February 14th, 2021 at 3:08 PM ^
Yes, Davison is the Victor Maitland of opponents. Except not as clean or likable.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:58 PM ^
I like the BHC reference, but how is Davidson like Victor Maitlind?
February 14th, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
Davison is the bad guy and the bad guy loses in the end. That’s after the good guy gets thrown through a window but is the one who gets arrested.
It’s not Shakespeare, but the best I could come up with?
February 14th, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
I thought it was maybe that Davidson should get tested.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
Defense for the win. Holy cow, what an effort. Dickinson was huge that second half. Offense is still getting used to game speed, but the defense seems to have rounded back into form.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
It makes a comeback a little easier when you hold the other team to 20 second half points.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
Dickinson looked like Mr. Fantastic out there with some of the stretchy armed rebounding. And off the one made the instant pass to Livers for the killer three.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
Hunter had 15 rebounds, the ones on the offensive end were HUGE!!!
Big guy played a great game ?
February 14th, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
plus those two offensive rebounds at the end of the game were the result of him swooping under the basket and then reaching back to get the ball over surprised badgers. that one he got to livers for the 3 was an outstanding play.
February 14th, 2021 at 3:22 PM ^
He's as strong and flexible as gumby and Hercules combined!
February 14th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
Go Blue! Fuck you, Bucky!!
