Refs and careless turnovers made this closer than it should have been but like the OP said in the title, fucking survive and get the hell outta dodge. Or something like that.

That out of bounds call was horrid, absolutely fucking horrid and almost cost us.  F*** those refs who had a replay available and still screwed it up.Anyh

Anyhow survive and advance.  Still pissed.

Oh My.  Of Course it would end like that.  And no where will we get the recognition of how we dominated that game throughout.  A fine played game for 18 minutes.  A tense final two minutes but they pulled it out.  Caris and Jordan on that last Tennessee possession had it under control!

Fair enough.  I do agree.  The end of the game counts for quite a bit!  It was such a great game for the first 30 minutes to me, though.  Lots of beautiful basketball, even through to the 3-4 minute mark.  But we just didn't put it away and like you say that's just as big of a deal as playing great for 90% of the game.  Something they can learn from.

better give a little more effort on D going forward.  just awful.  caris wasn't much better.  all week we were told to worry about their bigs.  it was the smaller guys that almost did us in.  this team totally lost their composure tonite.  very unusual for them considering what they've done all year.

I'm of the opinion that pretty much everyone on the team is actually a pretty good post defender for their position.  And J-Mo is great at it.  It's the slashers that kill us, every time.  We want teams that go through the post, even though we're small.

This game was a clusterfuck that coulda gone the other way but... when you fill out your bracket for this game, the ONLY thing that will matter is that Michigan's name is on the winner line.

emphasis on survive

 

Great effort by Tennessee, seemed like we let the foot off the gas in the last minute.  Makes me pretty scared of Louisville pressure as well.  No matter who we get next will be a tough matchup.

But Beilein will have the troops ready GO BLUE!

When Tennesse was down by 3 - I just had this vision of an ending like last year's Sweet 16 game.  

Glad there wasn't - but it is all about playing on Sunday.  And they are.

Can someone help me out with a pic of the terrible out of bounds call that went against us?  I haven't been able to find an image and I need to shut up some Sparty trolls.
