On to OSU
On to Ohio. I like this matchup, and we'll be ready.
EDIT: I'm not afraid of Craft, and have confidence in Stauskas, Albrecht and Walton not to turn over the ball. Facing the 2-3 defense is only good practice for Michigan. I really want to see Michigan beat Ohio a second time. After today's stinker, Michigan will press their advantage and not let up on the gas in the least. And we're still playing for a 1-seed.
lol The game's not even over yet.
What a collapse by Nebraska. I say good. Beating OSU once wasn't quite enough for me.

We've got this. Ohio won't have much left in the tank tomorrow.
Will we?
Yes. Playing on back-to-back days isn't that hard. It's the third day that gets you.
After surviving a 2 point win over 12th seeded Purdue (where the Boliers had a chance to win it at the buzzer) and a huge comeback against Nebraska, is there any chance OSU is too tired against us tomorrow?
Whatever the case, be sure to put your TV's on mute tomorrow. It's going to be a non-stop Craft lovefest by the commentators.
The game will be on CBS, therefore no Dakich.
And if Ohio plays like they did today and yesterday tomorrow, they will lose.
If they play like they've played all season, they will probably lose.
We win by seven if we have less than ten turnovers.
'We will win by turnover if we have less than seven tens.
They ALWAYS respond after games like this...and I don't think they will go 3-17 in the 2nd half shooting 3s.
Bust a nut

Beat ohio.
Again!
We played like crap against Purdue and then beat Illinois by a million. I'm not concerned.
Has Michigan ever defeated OSU in the conference tournament? The years of being knocked out by them have created a memory haze for me.

It's bad when "did not face" seems like a good year.
This confirms it... I don't have a good feeling about this game.
So *that's* why I was rooting for Nebraska.
'cuz honestly, I think this tournament's too close to the NIT to get too invested in (I know I don't know much about the in's & out's of this stuff, but couldn't they have scheduled it a little better -- moved the BTT up a couple days, then have more space before the Nationals?).
But still, am loathe to bow out to OSUcks.
Hope we rest up, tighten D up, review the 2-3 (and 3-2) zone, and prove me wrong.
Go Blue!
I love me some Special K on CBS.
We seem to play them every BTT. Off the top of my head, I remember the Evan Turner game, one semifinal game where we got pummeled, another semifinal game where we lost by about 10 points or so, one of the Oden years.
There are few things better than bouncing OSU from a tournament. This should be fun.

This should be a cakewalk for UM, the perfect complement to our terrible defense is an incompetent offense. As long as Wisconsin doesn't make the final there isn't a real test out there for this team.
I have a feeling Michigan will get a strong dose of zone tomorrow......
Fine with me. We've faced plenty of zone this season, and usually we've torn it up. Normally, the last thing you want to do is give up 30 3-point attempts to Michigan.
Won't be an easy game, but we'll get a close win. Beat Ohio.

Oh boy. They'll be tired, but they've got to be sailing off of that crazy comeback.
We're going to need to really pull it together - they are going to come out on fire. We need to be prepared for the initial hit. Be tough, team.
So it's a blood feud tomorrow. That's going to be just a little bit stressful.
Fuck Ohio
You remind me of North Korea.
Starving?
So what is it? I'm left scratching my head. Should I be impressed by what OSU just did, or appalled that Nebraska couldn't come up with a plan to inbound the ball with all those chances to figure it out?
Both?
Did not much care about this tournment after the first game before. Now winning this game 2 seems important.
Stauskas had a horrible shooting day and all the bounces went right into Illinois hands today. Can't believe we won this. Everything about it spelled L and then the guy misses an open running 2 foot floater... Wow. 2014 is gonna 2014.
