I was in high school and we beat Duke the same night Woodson won the Heisman. A Josh Asselin (sp) inspired effort I believe. That's totally off memory and could be way off. I drink a LOT.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
Asselin was on that team, but he was a true frosh and rarely played. It was Traylor (24 points) and Bullock (23 pts) who led the way. Here's an article on the game:

You're on the ball. Game starts in about an hour & 15 mins right?
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
It'll be delayed a bit due to the Memphis/Tenn. game going into double overtime. ESPN still shows the G'town/Chaminade game as being at the half. I'd guess our game starts no earlier than 7:30.
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
have the exact same grin/smirk?
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
I was thinking they kinda all do.
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
lol at MSU saying we were playing an easy schedule. Now we are playing Memphis, and Duke and they are playing Texas Southern.
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
They're just mad/jealous that they're all freezing their asses off while the Michigan team and fans are in Hawaii and winning.
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
We can has live blog?
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Beer bought. Check
Sofa cleaned. Check
Negotiating with kids for a cap on "Spongebob" tonight. In progress.
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
Anyone watching the Georgetown game hear if the game's pushed back/ by how much after that 2OT Memphis game?
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:07 PM ^
I'm looking forward to the game. Not looking forward to listening to the commentators kiss Duke ass for 2 straight hours.
I wonder how many more times they can mention that Duke has never lost in this tournament.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
Did you know that Duke has never lost in this tournament?
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
Had you guys heard that their coach was considered pretty good and has won a significant amount of games? I think I heard something like that.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:33 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
Coach B though
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:14 PM ^
@AceAnbender Ace Anbender Will be televised on ESPN. RT @detnewsRodBeard: Michigan-Duke scheduled to start around 7:40, according to Maui Invite officials.
i thought we started at 7?
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:22 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:23 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
Georgetown has 11 minutes of game time left against Chaminade, but it's going fast. Then they'll give the teams about 30 to warm up I'm guessing.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
GO BLUE!! Im callin a 68-64 upset tonight.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
play Michigan's game...GO BLUE!
I'm feeling good about this one...
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
Muppets on ESPN a good omen
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
F Duke Up!
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
Stupid Tenn and Memphis, I raced home for no reason.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
I have my scotch and a cigar next to me, 72 inch HDTV with surround sound in front of me. Waiting for this game to envelope me for the next few hours. Go Big Blue!
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
It's starting!!!!!! Damn you Duke!
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
That ESPN skit was so bad.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
What a stupid intro. Does ESPN think we're ten years old? These network types really frustrate me sometimes.
Also, did anyone see that idiot "Blue Devil" dancing like a fool on television? Terrible representation of the school, I hope Dave Brandon and the Michigan Athletic Dept. know that real fans DO NOT want a mascot.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
Turnovers need to stop now.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
Sloppy play for both teams to open the game, maybe some nerves.
Duke up 2-0. Points in the paint.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
That's 2 fouls on Smot already.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
DUNK BY MORGAN IS WHAT WE NEED.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
worst.start.ever.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
The trauma caused by my head ramming through drywall repeatedly erased away all those horror years.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
Does anyone else hate the shoes and warm-ups as much as me? The bench looks like a line of smurfs.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
Our zone is causing a lot of problems for Duke. I like that Beilein switches the zones from the 2-3 to the 1-3-1 all the time.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
If Stu could hit wide open 3s we'd be tied or up
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
It's blackedout in my area on espn3. ARGH, ANGAR!
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Horford looks awkward under the hoop. He just doesn't seem confident.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
Over the back???? And then a bad fouls called. Bogus.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
