Michigan gave up 51 points in the second half. Which is okay, because Michigan scored 51 points in the second half. If you have any idea what just happened please explain it to the rest of us. In the meantime...

And because the other has to keep going shot-for-shot with the one...

For a minute I was thinking we were going to be on the wrong end of one of those classic March Madness endings, with OkState hitting some kind of long-distance or contested three to win it. 

Then Wilson got to the line and iced it.

but made sure not to see or hear anything about bball until I got home.  Definitely worth it.  I also have to agree with some of the people that thought it was going to be a heartbreaking loss, especially after the Robinson misses.

One thought: I think a missed front-end of a one-and-one should count for an 0-2 in the stats.  I know the shooter technically only missed one, but that's two points given away.  In regards to Duncan Robinson, I really don't feel 2-5 captured how bad those misses really were.  Just my two cents...

at the buzzer.



Oklahoma State was getting +2 or +2.5 and they somehow covered the point spread on that last shot. Talk about a killer way to lose a bet but that's basketball for you with the point spread.

All of the scoring, the numerous lead changes combined with high percentage of made three's in the 2nd half by Michigan took the game to even higher levels IMO

We beat them at their own game.  They want to outscore with high shooting percentages, pushing the ball up the floor.  We outshot them and out scored them.  We played an offensive game and with the exception of some key blocks and a couple charges, we didn't bother with a defense.  We took their best and bested them with it.

 

This team has learned a lot in the last month.  They can beat anyone right now.  And I include those 1 seeds too.  We get hot, we can beat a Carolina or a Duke.

they were like two buzzing gnats.  We couldn't stop them to save our lives.  So we just outscored them.  This team has some serious poise.  Losing the 8 point lead to a 2 point lead would choke many teams.  Most probably.  Not them.  They just calmly built it back to out of reach.  Amazing.

Teams went shot for shot but we were scorching 3's. Good trade I'd say! The 2 prayer 3's OK state hit and the 2 1 and 1's we missed at the end kept it tight for sure. I was surprised Wagner played so little at the end but I think Beilein was purposely playing the 3 point shot since Wilson was playing so well at C once again.
Fun game to watch!!

for the last few games he's been getting these really cheap fouls.  He has to stop doing that if we expect to run deep.  He's too valuable to sit but today he was a liability.  He'll come around though.  He's tough.

Michigan faces the winner of the Louisville-Jacksonville State on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Wolverines have never faced the Gamecocks and haven't played the Cardinal since the 1997 NIT.
