Best game of the year. Peaking just in time for the tournies. Another quadrant 1 win. Go blue!

Really nice win again today. Impressed with Matthews. That should be the blueprint going forward, less shot creation, more defense and rebounding.

Maybe Matthews seeing the ball go through the hoop a couple times and making a genuinely nice move will get his head in the right place. If we can get him contributing again, we go from dangerous to potentially lethal.

A confident Mathews would be huge for us in the post-season. It probably helps that he should realize now that he doesn't have to personally carry this team. Maybe he just had been putting too much pressure on himself.

Happily for us, RPI doesn't care about victory margin. So to RPI it just looks like they lost at home against a top 25 team, a totally respectable outcome.

Wow. What a far cry from the game we played against them at Crisler. So much for us being underdogs in this one. Probably the best performance of the season. Go Blue!!!

It's nice to close the year with back to back to back double digit quadrant 1 wins. We are definitely the hottest team in the Big Ten and I don't see how we aren't the favorites to win the Big Ten Tournament. Go Blue!

John Beilein should automatically be given a 10 point lead to start every game, just for being an oasis of integrity in an NCAA cesspool of slime.

After this team imploded against OSU in Columbus, I was incensed. But he really brought the team along and they are playing great right now. And so nice to watch the FBI investigation unfold without the slightest concern about it negatively affecting Michigan.

What a great win! A lot of credit to Beilein, but also I’m going to miss watching Rahk. Over the last few years, if we were in games going through a scoring drought, MAAR willed the ball into the basket and kept us in the game. He is a classy, tough, smart, and skilled player whose leadership will be missed. Big ups to him and all the seniors on a great year. We got work left though! Go Blue!

i guy nobody wanted. i still don't know why all of the phila schools didn't offer him. oh well, their loss was our gain. he was even productive out of the shoot as a freshman. i just don't get his recruitment at all.

I think about that too. It speaks to how much heart the kid has and the eye for talent Beilein has. If I remember correctly, Beilein only saw him on tape. Coach B is a wizard - he gives all these guys the keys to success - up to them to take them and drive. MAAR is a perfect example of a guy who has done just that.
