Michigan beats Purdue again POSBANG!!!
Northwestern moms dance funny.
when we boil us some Boilermakers. Two more wins and this may be a future book for John U. Bacon...
Walton and Irvin are just determined.
Wagner in foul trouble? No problem - stand up DJ!
Can't hit threes? DJ and Irvin, take it to the hole!
What a gutty effort, against a very good Purdue team.
This team is so damn much fun to watch! Go Blue!!!
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!
Go Blue!!!
HAIL YES!!!
abracadabra bitches
That was fun to watch. Bring on whoever.
I wasn't able to watch - what is known about Wagner's back issue? Big guy with a possible back problem - how much do I hate that.
Reminds me of the Speight shoulder.
I didnt hear anyone mention it. I only saw it during the game after he fouled out. Could be preventative, or maybe worse. At least he's playing through it and it's the end of the year.
Unbelievable how so many of these people in these games like refs and clock operators can suck at their jobs so amazingly bad.
Let's Go!
Been playing as well as any team outside the top 10 for the past 2-3 weeks now. All losses have been close heartbreakers / overtime nailbiters, and most wins have been definitive.
Getting an 8/9 seed for the tourney will be completely unjust at this point. This team is playing like a 4 or 5 seed right now, and even if we look at the whole body of work, they at worst deserve a 7 seed.
Lunardi and the other talking heads need to update the bracket accordingly. And if I'm a 1 or 2 seed that has to face a Michigan team that can now play defense, I'd be shitting my pants....especially knowing how hot we can get behind the arc.
no one wants us in their bracket. Not now. We may not win the BTT as we're putting a lot into these games and may get tired by Sunday, but come next week with rest and preparation? Look out tourney.. Michigan is in the house.
I don't care if sparty wins today, that just us the opportunity to take them down again.
"Hey Purdue!"
A tactical genius and savant on the offensive side of the ball. Once the team found some grit and started playing defense, you start to see how effective his system and schemes can be.
Give Beilein, Calipari's, Roy Williams or Self's roster, and they'd be scoring 95 a game playing beautiful basketball. We just don't recruit that way and I'm fine so long as we get fringe 4 star guys that stay for 3 years and develop instead of empty classes full of 2 and 3 star unknowns.
I agree 100%, and don't understand the Beilein hate. Give Petino, Calipari, Williams, or Self our roster and they don't even make the tourney.
Great start to the weekend! Go Blue!!
wilson has some beast in him - long, athletic kid and decent shooter with versatile game and improving awareness and D. hes dangerous when he splits time / effort bw perimeter and post and cuts it loose on both ends. been fun to watch wilson improve, hopefully the postseason propels him into offseason and then next year. 5 with grown mans game!
its amazing what happens when guys threaten the rim, move on O, make cuts with purpose, take advantage of FT line, etc, and dont just continually settle for 3s. and its a beautiful thing when rahk isnt the only 1 going for and winning 50/50 balls and doing the little things, the dude always balls out for 30 mins (or whatever he plays). irvin (who hasnt always played 100% balls out selfless 2 way ball) had nice hustle plays, key boards, etc in addition to few big buckets, walton overcame early TOs and poor shooting to lead his guys, the fellas attacked the glass, etc - just a great team win, they earned it. thrilled (and slightly surprised) to see beilein T'd up for backing his guys, good for him
banging ALL of y'all and boy am I tired!!
Go BLUE!!!
Oh, you just got banged; banged real good.
Here for the banging and for MOAR basketball!!
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!!
RPI jumps 9 spots. We're 34th now.
These kids ahve their act together.
The abandoned takeoff had to be emotionally disturbing.........but they just set it aside and are looking great!
Wilson for Wooden!
Staying for the Muppet Luau!!
Pew!! Pew!!
Did we ruin your seeding? Shit.
I've been busy doing chores around the house for the last 3 hours, or so. Completely forgot about the game. Boy, am I sorry now. Way to go, young men—you've done us all proud. Hail to you Victors! GO BLUE!!!
Chores?
Like, feeding chickens or milking goats?
Probably raking the beach sand.
public service - game is at 1 p.m. ET tomorrow
Just want to point out that after that dismal home loss to Ohio State where many (including myself) were openly calling for Beilein to be fired or at least put on a very hot seat, Michigan has lost 2 games.
- 1 of those was an outright robbery in which the opposing team shot 10 more FTs than a team has ever shot against a Beilein team.
- 1 of those was won on a 90 foot baseball pass that was perfectly thrown.
Both of those games were on the road.
We are most likely the hottest team in the country.
