boost after two crappy penalties... Great work by Abdelkader

one of the coolest sports to play... no doubt

power play sequence... 

30 seconds, but I've got goosebumps... Going to be a great season... I can feel it.

Just googled Sam Martin and didn't find anything about him on the first page... SMH Lions.

have pick 136 and Detroit has pick 137... Should be interesting for Denard.

picks... Please... Denard to the Lions would be legendary.

In before deletion... other thread in progress

the bigger question than Denard is when will Leon Sandcastle go?

be a debbie downer but you mispelled Funchess... Other than that wow...Great work... These are amazing.

Fister... He has some unbelieveable stuff... Props to Dombrowski and the scouts for seeing the potential in him. Love watching him pitch. If only I felt the same way about the bullpen.

such a gift to be able to be in that stadium... Can't understand why people would just waste it.

Would just skip the analysis and get to the game, that would be great.

don't like to say players are NBA ready until they finish school (more like if they finish school), but this is the one case I will say this is definitely a young man that is ready to take the next step.  He played with poise, aggression, and a will to win this season, and I am so proud to call him a Michigan Wolverine. He will be missed.

THJ, GRIII, and McGary back for next season, we will be absolutely loaded offensively. Defense should come as well with time. Sad thing is, though, I see all of them leaving. Great and memorable season, though.

You mean Craft... Burke was the one who got McGary involved late in the season... And having double doubles in points and assists doesn't qualify him as a bad player. Go home, and look at your facts. Maybe find a couple of friends... That's a decent solution to fill time instead of going on your rival team's blog and just flaming up a storm. Get a life.

sure it said just pick one of them... The selection choices they get are pretty ridiculous, though.

likely the OP is in ATL to watch the game and is looking for ideas to show his support, not to act cocky and arrogant.

when he went speechless, I got chills... Not the bad ones, but the chills of excitement. Winning this now wouldn't just be awesome for personal gain, but winning this for a guy who has worked so hard to put this program back on track would be absolutely incredible.

you much.

did you find the busted t.v. one??? I found that one quite hilarious.

Screw it... Not now... I still need to embrace the fact that we are in the National Championship game. No controversy... SUBS

plus I'd bet that Boheim already has a TEE time set for Monday afternoon.

but I don't think the media should be asking him about his future right after being knocked out of the tourney... Whoever asked the idiotic question is a huge douche.

This freshman class is pretty dang good if we've gotten this far. McGary is a stud. Robinson while disappearing for the second half of the season, has made himself known once again in the tourney. As for Nik, I don't think I've seen a guy shoot as spot on as he has shown he can (Plus, he's not just a shooter). Caris made a great later season emergence, coming off the bench to provide some solid defense in key moments. And last but definitely not least, Spike. It's hard enough coming off the bench for the best PG in the nation, but wow in the Florida game. He is a guy that works hard and may not be the tallest or most athletic, but he makes up for it with his hustle. Overall, I can't think of a better Freshman class in the nation, other than the many Calipari teams, since the Fab 5. Proud of them.

is awesome considering his Tourney emergence has put him anywhere from the second to first rounds according to numerous analysts. Love the kid and his energy, and maybe this will possibly start lure guys like GRIII back to the program for at least next season.

It's hard to deny FSU when you've got this waiting for you. 

sick of the SEC... Take them down... GO BLUE!!!

can't wrap myself around what happened last night... Simply amazing.

on offense can be dangerous, but on defense, they struggle against good guard play. If we can light up the transition game and limit them at the three point line, we have a great shot at beating them.

thanks

for my lack of knowledge, but could somebody explain what is up the the "subs" reference?

hero ball haters... This needed to be done... Muppets NOW.

the kid weighs around 700, I will be less than impressed, and not surprised either. I mean it is Texas we are talking about.

a 10. Not every day you get a chance to get to the final four. Losing to Florida or Kansas is one situation, but FGCU? That would be killer.

different at all. I still love all aspects of the University of Michigan. Like I said before my dad kind of introduced me into Carolina athletics and I have liked them since. Michigan is still my go to school.

you consider it, the fact of the matter is that we don't need Trey to go 6-28 from the field. We need his shot selection and overall play to be smarter down the stretch. Probably should have reworded it in the original post.

helps that we get 4 days to prepare for them.

the Knoxville area, and I can't ask for any better way to start off NCAA Tourney week.  Idiots were complaining that they should've been a one seed in the NIT.

he is in fact left handed by nature, then should get extra props for doing it with his non dominant arm/hand.

While you make a good point, I'd personally like to play in Auburn Hills.

Is an idea that could help with an inexperienced team like ours. Zone in general is something I think we need to try more. Syracuse is one example of a team that plays a superior zone defense.

I'm still pretty pissed. Can't blame them, though. They have lives, too.

Shakespeare. He brought bad significance to the Ides of March (today). 

be nice to only have one snowflake thread.

don't care... I hate Wisconsin and Bo Ryan with much of my heart, and I know we are a more talented team. While I wanted to win this so much for revenge, I really could care less. I'm actually happy we are finally done with this dreaded conference for now.  We will definitely not see anything as difficult as what we have seen the last 2 months in the upcoming tourney, and I think if we can execute like we have shown we can, we can definitely make deep run. 

playing at Wisky will definitely help... We get it done 68-61.

that bad actually... I expected them to be a lot worse.

2:30, but there is the Indiana game before it so give or take another 10-30 minutes.

realized he was talking about the BIG tournament.  I thought he was referring to the NCAA tourney seeding.

Jackson thinks we are a five seed.... WTF

that were the case

keep our heads on straight... This is exactly where we lost our composure in our last game against them.

pitiful

summary of his Michigan career: He came. He saw. He conquered.

a Final Four and nothing less... Anything less I would consider a disappointment. I know it's a young team, but we spent the entire season in the top 10. I have high expectations for obvious reasons. 

like while we missed our free throws which ended up being huge, I think we lost because we relied on Burke too much, too late in the game again... Everything seemed to be falling into place in the first half because everybody was a part of the game... Then again he is potentially the Player of the Year so I can't really blame Coach B.

Let's peak and get hot starting Thursday... I'm seriously hungry for revenge.

buzzer beaters, half court shots, Penn State, Big Ten refs, pretty much everything else in the big ten too.

Wisconsin.

...

March 8th... So STOP THE VOTING NOW!!!

right in front of EA... Just search on Facebook "Ryan Swope" or "Vote for Ryan Swope" and there are countless third party pages. Just pathetic.

know why it is classified as camo... I'm mean what are we trying to blend in with, a rather colorful group of hipsters?

think the shorts concept was all that bad, but wearing the jerseys with sleeves is just a big no. We would probably look more like a mens volleyball team more than anything with the jerseys.

we insist on keeping opposing teams in the game early?

when Ohio was up 10 with 1:15 left... Can't blame me for getting a head start... And didn't post it until there were all zeroes on the clock. I'm pretty sure there's no shame here.

"perfect" bracket has us set to be upset in the round of 32 by UNC... They are playing really well as of lately.

you get those Nike? The Toilet Store?!?!?

defensive intensity really came through... Could have played a little smarter on defense at times, but I'm not worried... Huge improvements and I'm really excited for March now.

need to detatch myself from the pillow I was clutching for the last 10 minutes of the game.

looks really dangerous... Hopefully we won't see them on the path this March.

of March falls on the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament... Maybe this is when OSU, Indiana, and MSU all lose in the same day and ignites a flame in the basketball team. Wishful thinking, though.

but, the point was it's time for something good... we as fans are due for something good.

No

but the show is absolutely retarded... And WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU POST THIS NOW?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

where's the countdown clock for football season?

why

While frankly it was a huge douche move by Crean, I wouldn't put it past a lot of college coaches to do the same thing in that case... Doesn't make it right or acceptable, though.

needs to give Oladipo a good slap upside the head... He is so cocky.

the most intensity I've seen any team in the nation play with so far this season. If we did this, we would be unstoppable.

shouldn't really have to mold Devin into something like what Denard had to go through offensively... What we saw at the end of the year is likely what we will see next season.

double posts

game will also be key down the stretch when the three ball isn't on

He has just sucked the life out of Paul this half.

it's over, but let's not quit on defense.

think this team has the tools to be a solid team on the inside offensively, so I think the way we play the transition game will end up being the key to the offense because it is hard to expect them to be amazing from beyond the arc every game.

I'm not a Dr. Dre fan, but listening to the Next Episode while watching this Michigan team play is pretty dang cool.

Dakich is everywhere I don't want him to be.

not to that extreme, but they did lose to Illinois at home and play in a relatively weak conference (as stated above).

DAMN SEC BASKETBALL COVERAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN THE SEC NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

is definitely overrated, but Duke with Ryan Kelly is almost unstoppable... Considering it was early in the season, Duke did take down Louisville, Ohio, Minnesota, and VCU but Duke without Ryan Kelly is another story.  They have looked extremely mediocre since his injury.

is going strictly by what has happened in the past one to three weeks... Michigan has been losing, while Duke and Miami have been winning... And Gonzaga still hasn't lost since Butler. Seems about right at this point basing it strictly off of records and past couple of games.

as we are playing in Auburn Hills, I'm fine with that.

about Morgan? If he's 100%, I would have rather seen him than Mitch for most of the game.

sucks

relationship with Burke

in the world is going on????

intensity to pull down rebounds and attack the rim.
