Michigan Illinois open thread
Carlton sighting.
Carlton comes in? Coincidences?
Morgan looks like hes about to cry. big guy in some serious pain.
WOO ROAD WIN!!!
Keep hope alive!!!
Win baby just Win. PennSt, you are next.
Great win guys! Let's close out the season strong and hopefully grab a banner!
Good win. On to Penn State and then hope that OSU pulls out the win at State.
I just want MsU to lose.
Go Bucks! Wait...what?
I think you mean Boo Sparty. That just makes me feel better about myself. Try it.
I will still hold the Meteor as #1 in my heart whenever Big Ten schools from Michigan and Ohio with the word "State" in their title play.
Up tonight. From what it sounds like is going on down in Champaign, that team showed up and played a decent game. I was afraid of a tire-fire showing up but they brought it together and represented themselves well on Sr. Night. Good game Michigan. It all boils down to Sunday! Go Blue.
Great win, but I'm concerned over Morgan's shoulder, he really seemed to be favoring it at the end of the game. If your Belien, do you contemplate sitting him agains PSU to get ready for the upcoming tournaments?
SWEET
Last time we won here I was MGrowmiddleaged........
Well, at least you got that avatar there to keep you young
Is it just me or have most B1G teams lost on their Senior Day at home this year? Hopefully MSU will continue that trend (fingers crossed)
on how well we played on the road after they kept the game so close in the 2nd half. Wow first win there in 17 years and now 14 straight wins after a loss 4th best streak in the nation in that catergory. And best part of this we can still get that share we all so very badly want since I was 6 in 1986.
or does Stu look like James Franco?
72-61 Michigan final. We break that stupid 1995 streak at last.
Someone needs to tell novak that he is a Senior, bring some leadership to the team. March needs you Novak!!
72-61 final. Good win on the road. If Hardaway and Burke play the way they played today, we can be very dangerous in the tournament. With that said, I can not believe I am saying this, but lets go bucks! If we can get a share of the B1G title, I will be ecstatic but we need to take care of penn state first.
Excellent performance from THJ throughout the game. Smot, ugh. Major regression from last year. He continues to pick up bad fouls and even looks lost sometimes in the offensive rhythm.
I wouldn't say he's regressed. He looked like this most of the time last year as well. His stats are actually up across the board this year.
great job on the ft line.
great job on the ft line.
Hey, how many other games have we led from beginning to end?
The home game against the Bucks.
I remember our home game against MSU and our road game against Purdue were of a similar variety (though closer). Held the lead the whole first half and most of the second half, gave it up, won it in the end.
Hey, how many other games have we led (or been tied) from beginning to end?
How would we win the tie breaker? If they beat MSU and we beat PSU.. we have same conf record. 1-1 against OSU, and they have a better overall record. So i doubt it
Goes to record against next best opponent first. We're 1-0 against wisconsin and their 1-1, so we get the edge.
THJ, where has that shooting touch been all year? I can't even bring myself to say 'go O---,' so let's just focus on beating PSU for now.
great job on the ft line.
6/7 FG 4/4 3pt. FG 9/10 FT 11 Rebs 25 Pts - Tim Hardaway Jr.
7/13 FG 2/3 3pt FG 5/6 FT 5 Ast 21 Pts - Trey Burke
Those are College Basketball "stars" stat lines. Very good game by those two. The others left a bit to be desired for, but when you have 40+ pts from two players, the rest of the team doesn't need to accel as much. But they did play as a team and won as a team with the aforementioned stars leading the way.
(Team, 21/23 FT. This would be nice to see more of; not just getting to the line but making them).
Maybe THJ was just saving his second half surge for a later date this year as he suspects we'll be making a deep run in the tournament.
Are praying that this is what is occuring/soon-to-be occuring! Great time to start heating up, March is here.
Muck Fichigan indeed, bitches.
So this is the game I missed. (Why couldn't I have missed the Purdue one?) All I have to say is, it's about damn time we won down there. I can remember 3 different times we lost there by 2, including last year. I remember one game down there under Amaker where we played a flawless first half and led by 16 at the break only to end up losing by 4. Finally a win.
For those who got to watch the game, were the Illini students wearing their Muck Fichigan t-shirts? They always wear them when we play them in football.
You just have to wear your, "Fuck Juice, Drink Beer" shirts. Those are out of style because Juice Williams is gone, but that doesn't stop me from wearing it around the house.
If Timmy is going to come alive now, it's a darn good time. If he's hot, we'll be hard to beat for ANYONE.
Edit: Also wanted to mention that it's good to see Colton Christian accruing some stats. I'd nearly written that guy off. 2 points on 1-1 shooting, a block, a TO and a Foul in 7 minutes ain't much, but at least he did as much good as he did harm, and didn't look totally out of place. Good to see.
BEAT PSU!
