Men's basketball revenge tour underway?
Michigan at halftime shooting 60% with one turnover and causing Villanova to turn the ball over 10 times. The swarming defense looks fantastic.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
Let’s wait until the final buzzer sounds but this team is LEGIT!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
Villanova by 1, 17-16 over Charles Mathews at halftime.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Rutger first half; is this applicable for basketball, too?
November 14th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
Yeah I'm pretty excited about year 2 of this defense.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
We not only have the best defensive coach in football, but also hoops. I hope they can convince Yaklich to stay and eventually take over for Coach B.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
Yacklich needs to grow a stache.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
When you lose in the NC game, it is a very short revenge tour.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:38 PM ^
November 28 vs. North Carolina
December 4 @ Northwestern
Can't avenge the LSU loss from last year b/c we don't play them & they likely aren't making the NCAA tourney. Very short revenge tour indeed
November 14th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
Don't forget the South Carolina game from two years ago
November 14th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
LSU's a top 25 team. They're probably making the tourney.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Just thought the same:
LSU, OSU, North Carolina, Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern, Villanova.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
I'd say Purdue, OSU, and Nebraska are already avenged because we later beat them.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
I noticed that MSU is not on the revenge tour. Surely a team with a HOF coach and 2 lottery could have won at least 1 matchup with us.

EDIT: Damn double post

Luke Yaklich is the Don Brown of Basketball. Absolutely suffocating on defense, the execution is fantastic. I don't know if an assistant has had more of an impact on a basketball team than Yaklich has.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
My comment became a thread and I LOVE it!!!!
GO BLUE!!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:43 PM ^
Great minds think alike.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
No, but it doesn't mean I won't take credit for it.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:05 PM ^
November 14th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
Call me Nancy, I underestimated November John Beilein.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Let's keep it up boys! Defense is serious.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
I've come to expect these sort of halves from young Beilein teams in the early season and I don't get upset by them... I'm not sure how to react when UM is the team on that end of the score...
November 14th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
My buddy from Northwestern texted me: Whaaaaat? 54-28???
I responded... I'm not even watching. We always start slow.
To which he responds....Ye of little faith.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
My Gosh, That was fun to watch.
Fantastic Half,
Now FINISH
November 14th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
Bust they ASS on 3!!!!!!!! Keep the hammer down in the 2nd half!!! This is fucking RICH!!!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Any chance we can retro activate the score?
November 14th, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
I just checked on this.
Yes.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
Loving this game!!!
Quick question, is the GW game part of a tourney and who else is in it?
November 14th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
It's basically the Big Ten/Big East Challenge. So far it's tied up, 1-1. Wisconsin beat Xavier and Illinois lost to Georgetown yesterday.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:49 PM ^
Not this game, the George Washington game
November 14th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
My bad. Yes, it is. South Carolina and Providence are also in it.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:38 PM ^
Incredible first half on many fronts. Wow - Iggy is the real deal. Rare to see a freshman play at that level. Now, the guys need to finish them off.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
Bradzekis acting like a sophomore passing up an openish look and wanting to bang down by the hoop for an and-1. Love it!
Love seeing Zavier go after that punk Gillespie. He does something good, Zavier goes right back at him to put him in his place.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Did you mean THE Villanova or The Little Sisters of Villa Nova?
November 14th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
Omg that was amazing by Poole to box him out along the sideline and Zavier to come up and grab that ball
November 14th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
still a basketball school. iggy is the real deal
November 14th, 2018 at 7:49 PM ^
Alright. I really didn't expect this performance. I'm a dumbass.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Pascal learned that push off from Brunson last year!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
Nice try Gillespie....twat
November 14th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
Maybe...MAYBE!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
Getting their asses kicked so 'Nova decides to act like punks after another TO
November 14th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
what can they possibly be talking about
November 14th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
How did all of that end up on Michigan?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
You have got to be fucking kidding me with that call
November 14th, 2018 at 8:07 PM ^
Just walked in and turned the game on...OMG...11:34 left...up by 20 something...this team will ROCK!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
If we can keep this sort of smothering defense, I think this season will have its fair share of easy viewing. That said, early in the season yet, but I am really liking what I see so far...
November 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
Meanwhile, Ohio 24 Buffalo 7 in Wednesday night MACtion
November 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
My complaint with UM basketball has always been that they are soft. This team... This team is NOT soft. The football team is mean, the basketball team is hard.... It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
Still mad at the one ref in the NCG that kept bailing out Nova with weak calls. They let Nova hacks badly. Completely turned the game around in the 1st half.
