Michigan v. Villanova Basketball tonight 6:30 FS1
I think a PSA may be in order about this game. Never has a National Championship game rematch garnered less attention from a fan base than this one. I was kind of thinking there would be a preview today or something, a mention, a faint whisper, a fading memory, something, maybe?
Anyway, I get it, there is a lot of football still to be played. And frankly, if this year follows the same path as, like, every Beilein team except for that one we will lose this game in howling fashion. But it is a thing that is occurring so just a reminder to check in on it tonight. Revenge tour continues? Maybe? No?
Go Blue.

This second half is taking forever. 10 minute delay to call bs flagrant 1. Followed by 2 commercial breaks in 3 minutes of game time. Wtf
November 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
DESTROYING Villanova in their house.
I hope their fans realize just how outclassed their team is on the court tonight. Wake-up call.
Whens the last time Michigan football and basketball were both ranked in top 10?
*Lights WD signal*
November 14th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
I think the answer is 1996. Football was 9th in the November 4 poll, and basketball was in the top 10 for the first half of the season.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
This should look good on the resume come March as I don't think Villanova is actually this bad.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
So is getting doubled up in basketball a rutger?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
How in the hell is that a foul on teske?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
Can Michigan get a call now?
sympathy call after sympathy call
November 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Nova's starters have 15 turnovers so far
November 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Lol love the Matthews message to Iggy: “Push that MoFo back”
November 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
The refs must feel bad for Neckbeard since he’s been dominated in the paint all night long.
Giving him the ticky-tack fouls.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
You’ve got to be fn kidding me. What was that 45 seconds of game time before another commercial break
November 14th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
It's hard to get too upset about a turnover caused by two Michigan players simultaneously grabbing an offensive rebound. :) This has been such a fun game to watch.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
That Paschall guy’s off arm every time he touches the ball is starting to piss me off but besides that we are killin em
November 14th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
I need to go back and re-read Iggy's Hello: post.
He's a revelation.
I did not expect this kind of instant impact.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
Kid looks confident and fluid in this system already. Bumps will come I'm positive but it's looking good early!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
How can this be? The expert analysts in the Holy Cross game thread insisted that the season was lost already (some even went on to claim that we were just "lucky" last season).
November 14th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
those analysts are Morans
never ever ever doubt a JB team. Can we ban them?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
Up by 30 and yet Villanova somehow in the double bonus. Refs are trying to keep it closer for some reason
November 14th, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
Wow a bump and a foul. We could get bitch slapped and get called for an offensive foul just ridiculous
November 14th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Are they going to deflate this arena after the game? This place looks like something Wayne State would look to upgrade.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Hahaha Teske says no thanks bud
November 14th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Hack a Charles!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Teske!
Man, this team is playing a fantastic game!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
That little man dribbled all around the court and in the end Teske was just like, “No, get that bullshit out of here.”
November 14th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
Love to see Mathews smiling - he was so dynamic tonight.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
These refs lol
November 14th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
Blind ass refs. That was clearly deflected off Villanova!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
And yet another Villanova TURNOVER!!!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
Villanova currently has 20 turnovers and 11 made baskets. That must be some kind of basketball rutger.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
Did I just hear "Villanova 106 games in a row without losing by double digits"?
Wow!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
Keep em under 40 LFG!!!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
some dirty effin defense on the grid iron and hardwood. All this top notch coaching is building strong minded,tough, gritty, smart Michigan men....and can’t forget about all the great Michigan women as well.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
Villanova thuggery continues to go unnoticed by the refs
November 14th, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
Lol guy grabbing from behind and gets called for travel
November 14th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
It's a good thing Michigan opened up such a huge first half lead, because the officiating went from pretty decent to atrocious with the flip of a switch.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
If we were running our actual offense I think we would get the benefit of some more whistles. they are content to let 32 seconds run off the clock then go 1 on 1.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
Eli is doing too much out there! I get he wants to impress family & friends, but simmer down young fella.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
Fox is the biggest commercial whore in all of television.
If there is a game on Fox or FS1, you can add a half hour to the game time.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
In fairness to Fox, aren't all whores commercial?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
Friends, we are entering a golden age of Michigan sports - national championship finalists and a consistently strong basketball program, and a resurgent, powerful football program.
Enjoy the ride - Go Blue!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Reminds me of the 80's and 90's. We were winning everything.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
We could reach the Final Four in football, basketball and hockey in the same calendar year. Has that ever been done?
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
Nova fans seem....dim
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
If someone can explain to me how that was a travel when he was clearly being dragged down by his neck, I will give that person 100 internet fantasy dollars.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
Refs suck.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
These referees have been abysmal. I'd be furious if this wasn't a 25-point game. Villanova hits Brooks in the face and he gets called for a travel. Bums.
P.S. Eat shit, Jay Wright.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
Bench 3s!!!
November 14th, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
We've forced Nova into 21 turnovers - in their own gym! Wow.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:37 PM ^
that has to be some kind of Rutger
