Why is the big ten tourney at all important besides securing a decent berth?

stupid free throws.  stupid not intentional foul. 

And It's March, so most of us in the North are tired of Snowflakes.  stupid snowflakes.

I hope Drake Harris was so sad that he's got it in his blood and he knows where his heart lies!

Why not defend the missed shots?  Burkes bounce was so bad if we had anyone there they might have secured it.

You don't watch plays out of a timeout w this team. That drive was infinitely better than the stuff he does at the end of games and the last 10 minutes of this game.

Did anyone realize how long the ball sat on the rim at the end?  It's as if God was thinking "Hmm, who do I want to win" and the ball just sat on the rim for awhile.

It's a silver lining that Michigan will play a team that recently upset them.  It shouldn't be too hard to find motivation for the game.

They could have done things better, but Indiana could have done things better too.  This is a time to say, "Aw hell - we could have won," not "These guys suck."

Of the games that hurt my heart and soul:

1- Weber timeout

2- loss to Duke 2 years ago in the Tournament

3- this freakin Indiana loss

Honestly we had it and lost it.. I don't blame the players, they were under too much pressure, it just happens. Lets just hope this happened at the right time, we still have a B10 tourney to try to win and a NCAA tournament out there. I'm hoping this teaches us humility and gives us a push to win both of those.

On the bright side, OSU and MSU just lost the B10 championship :).

Tough loss to take, but UM showed me 2 things today that I really like

1. They showed an aggressiveness (as a team, not just 1 or 2 players) that I hadn't seen since we were 20-1. There was more attacking and less standing around, waiting for someone else to do something.

2. A defensive intensity that I hadn't seen on a team-wide level at all this year.

Others may disagree, but this game actually gave me more confidence for our NCAA Tournament chances.

This is what I came away with.

Yeah, that last minute sucked.  The free throws sucked.  The loss sucked.  No B1G Championship.  That all sucks.

But my god that was the toughest I've seen Michigan play all year.  Were they perfect?  No.  Did they miss bunnies throughout the game? Yes.  Did they get outrebounded by 20? Yes.

And after all of that we still controlled most of the game and it came down to a few free throws that our usually good shooters just missed. 

CALL OFF THE SEASON, THEY'RE DONE, BOYS.

Buck up and realize that we don't all of a sudden suck because we lost by 1 to Indiana.
