YES.  Please let the switch stay ON this time. 

If this goddamn team could bring it every night they would be top 25.  

Dear Michigan Basketball: please play like this every game and KICK ASS the next few weeks.  Sincerely, Everyone

and the rest of the team. In the postgame comments on BTN, Coach continued to stress that this success is due to improvements on defense.. Great to see the total team effort tonight and hoping this will be a turning point for the season. With no dominant Big Ten team we can make a run if we keep up this intensity and ball movement.

Good to see that Irvin didn't force things tonight either..

out that the coaches have really been working with the players on improving their D and rebounding. There have been improvements, i.e. Wisc game, IU, and tonight. The players seem to be getting it and hoping it carries over to Bloomington this weekend. 

The way some people here act, practice consists of shooting 3's from the rack

Great win but holy hell this just makes me more upset. This team has enough talent to make the tournament but will not. The way they have played they don't deserve to be in. Beilein still needs to go.

We won the most recent hockey, football and basketball games

 

And I know I saw somewhere on here we smacked 'em in men's and women's swimming this past week (like always)

Lets not forget, that Walton as a true freshman (I think), went to EL and beat them, playing a marvelous game.  He steps it up vs them.

But Simpson should play with Walton.  Those 2 PG looks make it easier for him since there's another capable ball handler on the floor to split playmaking responsibilities with and Walton's so strong and such a good rebounder I think the offensive benefit outweighs the defensive shortcomings, especially when up against opposing units with bench players.  Having two players on the floor that can penetrate and dish really opens up a lot for us offensively.  

Sample size is obviously miniscule, but it's something I wish they had gone to earlier in the year and still think they should now.
