Last time I had Leaky Black it was the Taco Bell daily special.
November 29th, 2018 at 12:10 AM ^
Didn't want to bother looking up his name. Now sorry I didn't. LOL.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
I liked that turnaround 3 Matthews had too to stop that NC run late.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:40 PM ^
These wins in November will keep us from being seeded 10 positions below where we should be because we did not start playing well until February.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
That was impresssive...Dickie V and ESPN’s feelings are hurt. How dare a Big 10 team dominate their beloved Heels
B-BALL has their own revenge tour
GO BLUE!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
Nice to be on this end of a blowout.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
Basketball basketball basketball
November 28th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
November 28th, 2018 at 11:42 PM ^
Damn.
We really needed that one after the past few days.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:42 PM ^
We have two tough games next. Home vs Purdue and @ NW. If Simpson can contain Edwards I like our chances.
If we get past these two, we should be 14-0 when we host IU
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
not sure i like the “we are a basketball school” schtick but ok whatever.
Charles Matthews doesn’t give a fuck who you are and who your play for. He is a beast
that was very very nice to watch
hail
November 29th, 2018 at 1:21 AM ^
So good he went the "the process" for the NBA draft and came back. The man is aggressive and on fire!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
That was like watching the last football game except the exact opposite
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Wow. Another muppet-worthy showing. This is amazing!
If this team can ascend like Beilein teams normally do...
November 28th, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
No muppets
November 29th, 2018 at 1:11 AM ^
Brian has a post on this. The teams that start well don't grow much. Mostly because. . . there's not much more to grow after you beat 2 top 10 teams.
But seriously, look at the post. There wasn't this "Feb leap" for the good teams.
November 29th, 2018 at 8:00 AM ^
I'll take the "Feb leap" in November, thank you very much.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Exactly.
Great Win.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Just a great win over an excellent team. Team looks great, athletic, very cohesive, and very well coached.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Kind of like someone gave me mouthwash after the crap sandwich I was forced to eat Saturday. I still need a complete brush, floss, and dental cleaning, but it helps.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Football Top 10, Basketball Top 10
November 29th, 2018 at 4:17 AM ^
Top 7
November 28th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Big time win!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:44 PM ^
Pains me to agree, but at the moment we are a basketball school. Thank God for John Beilein!
November 29th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
Yeah, because a #7 / #8 ranking in football is so embarrassing.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
This team is already better than last years maybe.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
That was simply super fun to watch. Only nitpick was the FT shooting. This team is fully capable of making a similar run as last season.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
Yeah - 11/23 from the line. Afraid it will bite us at some point.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
*me, literally every game left on schedule*
November 28th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
Bang bang bang!!! Go Blue!!!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
I'm so happy, and tired. Hope they can keep up the momentum in big ten play.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
We CAN haz nice things!!!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
Is it wrong that I feel that this year's team is BETTER than our THIRTY THREE win, final four team last year??? They definitely feel funner as of now!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:49 PM ^
This team is pretty amazing but I can't help but think what it would have been like if Wagner would have stayed for another year.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:49 PM ^
Beilein can’t recruit. Amirite, Maizen?
(people don’t forget)
Go Blue!!
November 29th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
The North remembers.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:49 PM ^
And unlike other certain schools that consider themselves “basketball” schools...we’re actually really good!
November 28th, 2018 at 11:51 PM ^
Before the season, I thought we'd be a terrific defensive team that struggles on offense.
The emergence of Livers and his sweet stroke and Iggy's...everything gives us 4 real offensive weapons, with additional contributions from Teske, Simpson and Brooks.
Simpson does a tremendous job running the point, and Matthews is showing so much leadership. Poole is starting to come on as expected.
So amazing to see Beilein adapt to his team, using Teske as a classic big, then mixing in small ball with Livers.
This team puts on a damned clinic almost every game. Wow!
November 29th, 2018 at 12:17 AM ^
Great point about Simpson. He is a hoss leading the attack on offense.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:51 PM ^
The ability of Iggy to effectively guard Maye, and allow the others to be super aggressive was so huge!
November 29th, 2018 at 12:16 AM ^
In getting worried that Iggy may be one and done. That dude can PLAY.
November 29th, 2018 at 12:20 AM ^
Just enjoy it :)
November 29th, 2018 at 12:22 AM ^
In addition to everything else, he has such great touch around the rim.
I'm used to Michigan always missing those little bunnies at the rim.
Iggy makes them, and makes them look pretty.
Pretty little fluffy bunnies.
November 29th, 2018 at 4:38 AM ^
and he is amphibious, which is huge.
/s
November 28th, 2018 at 11:53 PM ^
Very satisfying to watch. Crazy stat: that was our closest game so far this year ("only" won by 17).
November 28th, 2018 at 11:54 PM ^
Local Michigan fans, please start attending as many games as you can this year. This team deserves sell out crowds nightly, not just when UNC comes to town for the first time. I live in Indy area, or I would be all about attending Crisler for most/all Home games. Please show the world how a basketball school supports its team. Thank you
November 29th, 2018 at 12:00 AM ^
I really wish I lived closer than 10 hours to AA.
November 29th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
Today was as loud as the Stauskas era when we won the B1G outright. 2300 students today and they were great and filled four sections of the upper bowl. So many happy faces as they exited Crisler.
November 28th, 2018 at 11:54 PM ^
