Let's get another Q1 win and end the season with some momentum heading to MSG to defend our title. GO BLUE!

I agree with that completely. I didn’t expect Michigan to score 1.6 ppp again in the second half. It’s less that the shots aren’t falling than it is that they’re not really running the type of offense they were running in the first half.

I've been one to push for a Poole/MAAR/Matthews/mo/livers or DRob lineup all year. However, I'll be honest, they look a bit lost when MAAR plays the point. Takes long to get in sets, just isn't smooth.

we're up 30 at the half, I really don't think you should start eating clock before the 5, maybe 6, minute mark. Well probably still win comfortably, but it'd be nice to just throttle these guys, THEN relax for the final 5 minutes after emptying the bench. And not get someone like Wagner hurt right before the tournament!

Nice open 3 hit when they were making a run, and drive to basket. Needs that mojo for confidence. Also, Maryland playing better/tougher 2nd half. Give them some props.

Unfortunately (for us), most of our best players under Beilein have gone pro before we could see how great they'd be as seniors. 

Walton and now MAAR have given us that chance - it sure is fun to see!
