Michigan beats Purdue again POSBANG!!!
Just out of curiosity, was there an Aneurism of Leadership #3 that we can pin this giant upswing in basketball performance?
Beilein has gotten T'd up like 3 times this year. More than normal. Maybe that's it? I think most would point to Maverick Morgan's quote
response to this quote and the whole team following his lead
That's a Bingo!!
I wish there was a gif of DW getting geeked to add to the Aneurism of Leadership hall of fame. Previous hall of famers:
So we can officiailly say "Not just a shooter"?
FIRE BEILEIN!
Oh wait! Sweet win!
DJ Wilson is so much better than I thought he would ever be. He seems kind of goofy at times with his moves, but they work. Just a really impressive effort by him. What I love about this team is how any one of them can have a big night offensively. Tonight was DJ's night enjoy it young man!
PS-I noticed Wagner with some sort of contraption on his back (ice pack/brace). I wonder if that's why he hasn't been playing as well. Not sure if it's sports related or due to the plane crash. In any event, something to keep an eye on.
That damn Haas has the power to be really damn good. Not sure if he'll develop the skill.
Scratched and clawed our way to victory!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
We made it to the BTT semi-final, knocking off the hottest team in the country in the process, and we are the hottest team in the country.
That good enough for an NCAA 7 seed yet?
If we keep playing like this, we can rip the #1 seed a new one. NO ONE wants us in their bracket right now. Not. One. Team!
Let's have another!
The Infiniti coaches challenge should have come down to this game. Beat Painter one more time!
Positive bang
Bring on Minnesota on a neutral floor, or the floor slappers! WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY!
It was really weird watching Spike...I'm just not comfortable with that at all. I hate that he's in the B1G, just because selfishly I want to root for him every chance I can.
Best game Ive seen all year. I am WAY too amped up for 230 in the afternoon.
Any of the kind souls here willing to explain what caused all the consternation towards the refs at the end of regulation in the game thread?
to tie the game. Purdue tried to in bound the ball quickly but MAAR stole the in bound and was about to go up for a game winning lay up. But the officials blew the play dead (the rigth call BTW) because Spartan BOB must have snuck in at the scoring table and did not stop the clock.....
No Biggie, the Basketball Gods made sure the right team won.....
they f-ed up a number of charging calls earlier in the game and were calling some ticky-tack fouls on Michigan - one of which resulted in the very rare Beilein technical. I also think they were letting Haas get away with anything he wanted to do. He's very very difficult to handle in general, but he was helping himself with pushing off and clearing people out underneath IMO. I think in the end though, Michigan outlasted Purdue in overtime when both teams were tired and missing a bunch of shots.
Kinda think State is a better matchup but I want Minnesota again and of course fuck State.
Probably our most impressive game mental toughness wise since Jordan Morgan was here. Can't believe we won with our bigs in foul trouble and shooting 6/25 from three.
1) To recitfy that BS game in the Barn earlier this year, and
2) It would mean the Lil General and his Sparty floor slappers lose today, and
3) FUCK SPARTY....
I want to beat both teams and coaches BAD. Izzo, enough said. But, that slimy, snivelling Pitino is just as bad. I guess overall I'd rather blast Minnesota next. Go Blue!
BOOM!
Beautiful to watch.
my goodness, we look terrific right now. we can hurt you SO many ways.
We've had a nice little run and all that, but it's not like we had to come up against any truly insurmountable obstacles like the Rutgers basketball team
Wow what a game!
That's how we dooze it! Go Blue!
This was the polar opposite of "white collar."
We were running on fumes and didn't seem to have the legs to shoot threes, faced some terrible foul trouble, got robbed of a last-second winning shot and even gave up a halfcourt shot for good measure, but just willed out a win, against the Big Ten regular-season champs.
REALLY proud of these guys.
Nice to see the board blow up!
Just wanted to say all the folks who were calling for Beleins head are eating crow now. Honestly, maybe he needs a big time recruiter and an assitant whos a great defensive mind but I think he's an elite head coach. If he had the McDonalds All-Americans, he would dominate.
Congrats Coach
Hard to get those kids without paying them which he (and we) are not really wiling to do.
Great win!
C'MON DOWN SPARTY
I did say fire Beilein when the team was doing terrible. I admit but this today is just wow. Wow for a great game and they weren't even hot shooting the ball. Gotta love it!! Go Blue!!
They battled!
What a win!
Not always pretty, but they played with everything they had all game long!
