Game tips off in a sec on CBS. Early twitter reports seem like Livers won't play and if he does he won't be close to 100%.

I just finished up on the DVR. That game represented the WORST in refs purposely calling fouls to try to even up a game that would've been a blowout.

ANOTHER double digit win against a ranked opponent...To all those coaches who have Michigan ranked #4??? WTH is your motive? Suspect Im sure...Kudos to Johns he had a good game..I love me some John Teske but today wasnt one of his best outings..Poole...LOVE him...Matthews looks better  at the FT line..Xavier and his hook shot..He finds more creative ways to score.....Davis just isnt that good lets face it...I expect him to transfer to a MAC school..his days are numbered..Indiana  in Bloomington is going to be rough..Idiot seth Davis says MSU is the best team in the Big 10..hes ALWAYS a Michigan hater...Cant stand him every year he downplays Michigan..he has a definite bias against UM..We have a good shot at being undefeated until at Indiana..could be a L ..did I mention Seth Davis is a moron

Michigan basketball is a lot of fun to watch these past 30 games.  Really like this year's team.  Lot of balance, good effort on both ends of the floor.

Amazing they were able to stave off Indiana's runs and not let them get within a couple possessions despite going 0-7 from three in the second half. I like how they don't have to ride/die with the 3.

Great win against a very good ranked team. Led by double digits almost the entire way through. And Brandon Johns had himself a game.

I doubt the rankings will change unless Duke loses, but Michigan is at least giving the pollsters something to think about with regards to whether or not they’re the #1 team in America.

Good play - really happy about the game of Brandon Johns - did not seem tentative. Had a great pick and roll where once he got the ball, he immediately went to the rim with a dunk.

My big takeaway...Brandon Johns looked really good out there!  Didn't look like a freshman, much less one who hasn't seen much of the court yet.  If he turns into a guy who can give you 8-12 solid minutes this rotation will be something else.  Eight deep of guys with size, length and positional flexibility.  Going into the postseason with a starting five of Z, Poole, Matthews, Iggy, Teske backed up by Brooks, Livers and Johns...sounds good to me!

Still not happy with CBS causing us to miss the early part of our game so that they could instead show their NFL post-game chatfest.
