Women's Basketball destroys buckeyes, 64-49
The final buzzer just sounded on BTN and for the 4th time in the last 6, Michigan has beaten ohio.
This time it was a romp.
Interesting note they kept referencing on BTN was that only 4 points scored in last year's game returned for Michigan.
The men and women both have identical overall records at 10-4.
This was Michigan's 10th win in the series. (10-49 series record)

I thought Spock didn't feel anything?
Of course he never struck me as a chauvinist either.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
So does beating them in a sport you don't care about make you unhappy?
January 5th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
TheGhostOfYost is never happy.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
Is that who Spock is/was? The personality certainly is consistent that's for sure. How did you figure that one out?
You're an excellent "outer" by the way.

That guy was a jerk.
January 5th, 2014 at 10:31 PM ^
Every time one of his usernames is banned another pops up almost immediately, with the same posting style and personality. It's like clockwork.
If there's ever another username that loves the Browns, hates Borges, and has a in-shape wife ... you're busted!!
January 5th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
That's absolutely who he is...he came at the same time Ghost was banned. He speaks in the same manner aka always negative.
Time to ban again.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
...is a reason to be happy.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
You have not been in a good mood recently, have you.

January 5th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
than this!
Oh, sorry. I was supposed to say hurhur and pound my beer stein on the table.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:59 PM ^
Dude have u ever had a positive comment??
January 5th, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
You know, one of the things that Spock always was - at least within Star Trek canon - was a fair-minded individual who often gave things a chance that others might not. This response does not strike me as particularly fair, or indeed, particularly logical. We'll see how light Bolivia works for a couple months.

You are my hero.
January 5th, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
Why so negative?
January 5th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
Could you please provide an exhaustive list of the sports that don't matter to you? Posting will be more efficient than e-mailing Brian...
January 5th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Is there a way to block IPs or does he find a new one every time he gets kicked off MGoBlog?
January 5th, 2014 at 10:39 PM ^
Serious question.
January 6th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
It's a good question, and I have a feeling that one of the main criteria is, "is played by men", which, unfortunately, is a sentiment that is shared by a large portion of the sports fan population in this country.
January 6th, 2014 at 2:46 PM ^
While it's probably true that guy isn't a fan of any women's sports, I know for a fact he's anti-baseball as he's negged numerous baseball posts (even Hello posts). His definition of sports that matters is probably those he follows—I'm guessing mainly (only?) football. Thing is—this isn't his blog.
January 6th, 2014 at 2:56 PM ^
and I absolutely agree that seems to be the case with this particular comment.
My question was more a commentary on use of that particular word, which seems really out of place. Does it actually matter that some men wearing painted helmets run a ball into a rectangle piece of turf more times than the men in purple? Or some ladies wearing all yellow (guess) putting a ball through a steel circle more than their counterparts wearing red, does that matter? I'd say no on both counts.
With that in mind, how about taking a little bit of joy in winning big against Buckeyes, even if it was a game that doesn't entertain huge numbers of people. In our shared entertainment interest (sports) it really doesn't get much better than that.

I went to a WBB game at the Schott once. I believe Ohio won 60-50 and everyone was happy because if the home team scores 60 the fans get some sort of free concession stand item - fries maybe. I wasn't happy about that result, but it sounds like WBB has come a long way since then!
Women's tennis is also doing well, winning the regular season B10 title in 2012, 2010, and 2009. No tournament championships in recent years, though.

Always great to beat Ohio State.

Great win for the women.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
I think that M women's basketball is starting to show that they have something special in the works. They are extremely competitive, have beaten some very tough teams, and have some close losses against some very good teams.
I also think Coach Barnes-Arico is showing that she is the real deal.
We should all be proud and excited by this dominant road win over the Buckeyes.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:40 PM ^
This is great to hear. Hopefully they find a way to even out that overall record as well.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:43 PM ^
for the women, so this is a big deal for the program, especially in a blow-out like this. Foul-shooting and rebounding were outstanding.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:45 PM ^
Well ok then. And I thought the Michigan-MSU football rivalry was lopsided
January 5th, 2014 at 7:53 PM ^
Coach Kim is doing an excellent job. This is a very young and inexperienced team, and the expectations were low heading into the season. She has them hungry and working hard...great victory for the program.
January 5th, 2014 at 7:57 PM ^
Coach KBA doing work! Good job ladies and GO BLUE!!
January 5th, 2014 at 8:00 PM ^
Great win for the program and great win for MICHIGAN!!! Its always great to beat the Buckeyes in ANY sport. Really shows how far this program has gone in the last 5 years. Now lets get a win agianst the spartans. GO BLUE!!

I did not realize the series was so one sides, 10-49? Yikes!
January 5th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
Yeah, the history of the program isn't pretty. From 1992-93 - 1995-96, they went 8-78 in the Big Ten.
They had something going in the late 90s/early 2000s, though.
Series records against B1G teams-
- Illinois: 27-40
- Indiana: 23-42
- Iowa: 15-45
- Maryland: 0-1
- state: 16-62
- Minnesota: 25-32
- Nebraska: 1-7
- Northwestern: 29-37
- ohio: 10-49
- Penn State: 9-30
- Purdue: 16-49
- Rutgers: 0-1
- Wisconsin: 21-39
January 5th, 2014 at 11:05 PM ^
Holy cow . . . we have a losing record against every B1G school? Why were we so bad for so long?
January 5th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
January 5th, 2014 at 8:20 PM ^
We need to flip that RB from Minnesota and add another solid prospect for football and keeping winning in men's and women's basketball.

Michigan has the ideal schedule this year.
They play PSU once. They play iowa once who has their number. They get state at Crisler for the only meeting of the season. And the next time they play ohio will be at Crisler Center.
Michigan went into Mackey Arena last season and upset a ranked purdue team. Anything can happen.
I just am really rooting for this program to get a banner up in Crisler. There currently (obviously) isn't one of any kind.

With several new coaches that have been hired in the conference, plus the coming additions of Maryland and Rutgers, I think the Big Ten is about to enter an era when it's stronger than ever. Right now, the Big Ten doesn't have any elite teams, but what it does have is depth. With the exception of Illinois, every team in the conference is currently ranked in Sagarin's top 70.
I'm a huge Barnes Arico supporter, but I don't buy the idea that Michigan is going to "own the league." There are too many good coaches recruiting at a high level for that to happen. I think eventually she'll have Michigan competiing for conference titles nearly every year, but I see there being a dogfight for the conference crown every year between several teams.
