Derrick Walton makes that pass in his sleep. We're gonna be scary good again next year.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:15 PM ^
Did he just say first Michigan has to get by this one...with a minute left and a 22 point lead?
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
If they get some of those tips it could happen. The door is open I hear...
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
Caris has a weird stroke at the free throw line.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
Fans: "Beat the Hoosiers"
PBP Dude: "Fans chanting 'We want the Hoosiers'"

Hmmm... It appears someone doesn't like me. I'm sorry.
Here's Stu Douglass being "more than just a shooter"TM
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
"Beat the Hoosiers!"
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
My man.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:17 PM ^
Second-string defense immediately gives up a brutally easy layup and then McLimans nearly airballs a three-pointer.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
20-1...
January 30th, 2013 at 8:17 PM ^
Best record in Michigan basketball history! This team is special. Go Blue.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:17 PM ^
Big game Saturday night.
BEAT IU!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
First team to 20 wins in D1 basketball!!!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
Twenty wins and it's still January. I've got to let that sink in.
It was only a few years ago that everyone was sitting at Crisler in brown leather chairs watching the Selection Show, just hoping to make the tournament.
This year, we pretty much made the tournament by Christmas. Now they'll be sitting at Crisler in brown leather chairs watching the Selection Show, hoping to be a 1 seed.

Post-game "More than just a shooter" (TM).
January 30th, 2013 at 8:21 PM ^
Gotta love the Fischer-Spassky match shout out!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:24 PM ^
someone should make a video with Wilbon saying what he did, then showing the highlights of this game.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
What'd he do?
January 30th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
I think.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
I assumed that, but they made it sound like he did something crazy. Wait, that is crazy.
January 30th, 2013 at 9:10 PM ^
Despite being a professional TV sports talker, he said "in Evanston" because he forgot Michigan already crushed Northwestern on their Kool-Aid-stained court.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
He "predicted" his alma mater to pull off the upset tonight.
I don't get why people are getting bent out of shape over it.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:35 PM ^
I didn't even know he said that, I just genuinely dislike the guy.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:24 PM ^
F that guy.
January 30th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
I think they know, guys. They just said more than just a shooter (TM) during the purdue indiana halftime report
January 30th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
This team is scary!
January 30th, 2013 at 10:41 PM ^
11 boards in 15 minutes. Nice.
January 30th, 2013 at 11:11 PM ^
THAT SHIT'S CRAY!
I know it's just northwestern, but does anyone in the nation ever put up 25R per 40 minutes?
January 30th, 2013 at 11:18 PM ^
It's so nice seeing them at 20 wins right now. Lets just hope they endure this gauntlet they're about to go through.
January 30th, 2013 at 11:18 PM ^
Gauntlet of games that is...
January 31st, 2013 at 4:10 AM ^
Did that kid on the bench have an under amour yamaka?
January 31st, 2013 at 4:14 AM ^
Yarmulke I guess is the spelling. (Before the MGoEnglishMajors correct me)
January 31st, 2013 at 4:30 AM ^
Turnovers
January 31st, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
Unacceptable!
January 31st, 2013 at 6:56 AM ^
Pffft... I'm not impressed my college went 26-0 in the regular season.. /s
Good win, great team. So stoked for Saturday. Go Blue!
