Basketball Open Thread: NW at Michigan

Submitted by michfan4borw on

(EDIT update: UM 66 NW 64 final; OT) Michigan looks to continue its success defending home court.  A win tonight would move Michigan into a tie with Illinois for second place in the conference.  Of course no game is guaranteed for the favored team (e.g. OSU losing again last night).  Game starts at 630 EST.  Current standings:

 

 

TEAM CONF OVERALL
Michigan State 4-0 15-2
Illinois 4-1 15-3
Indiana 3-1 15-1
Michigan 3-1 13-3
Purdue 3-1 13-4
Ohio State 3-2 15-3
Iowa 2-3 10-8
Northwestern 1-2 11-4
Wisconsin 1-3 12-5
Penn State 1-3 9-8
Minnesota 0-4 12-5
Nebraska 0-4 8-7

I didn't think I'd say this before the game, but this would be a huge comeback win if we can pull it out.  Not that the win would be so great, but a loss at home to NW would be devastating going into the brutal stretch after the Iowa game.

For sure. NW could be in early slump like Michigan was last season. Close games lost. Good team I think.
