Amazing win! Everyone in this sports bar in Florida Is dejected except for my family!!
I got to enjoy the schadenfreude last weekend in Florida at a restaurant when we took down FSU. Is "Indy Pete" from Indianapolis? Hello from a recent Michigan transplant to Indy by way of Wisconsin!
Was that wagner’s Mom they kept showing? No disrespect, but I liked it when she cheered.
Mo's Mom & Dad were both in the Alamodome for the game.
Wooooo9ooohahawowhaha
We get to see Mo's mom at least one more time :)
Only one in a restaurant with 100 bandwagon Loyola fans!
At Bobby G’s in Berkeley, CA and every basket in the second half elicited racus cheers. Ended with a hearty HTTV. A very sympathetic crew out here.
Go blue!
Can't believe that turnover after the first 30 minutes
Way to go boys!!
Wow, did we need him tonight!
Great game, great career, great kid.
Congrats Mo!!!
24 and 15 is pretty badass.
Hasn't happened since 1981 with Hakeem!!! What a great game!!
Loyola seemed to fall apart down the stretch just as we started killing it on offense
Correlation....
Causation

Welcome to Earf
they looked tired.
They looked real tired and Porter Moser didn’t seem to want to go to the bench at all down the stretch. Beilein trusted the bench to get Michigan back into it.
Moser got enough minutes from his bench that they shouldn't have been tired. I agree that's how it looked, particularly during that stretch when they had five straight turnovers. I guess you say the defense wore them down.
Need someone else on Monday!
I WILL BEAT YOU!!!!!!!!!!
MOAR
Wow!
With no regard for glasses.
This Michigan fan who is a Loyola grad wore Michigan sweatpants and Michgan hoddie with a Loyola skullcap and Loyola t-shirt...and sat mostly stone-faced during the game...
Now onward...to the championship...
The hell just happened?! The last 8 minutes were a completely different game than the first 32 (well, we did "okay" the first 4 minutes). Wow. Mo joinining Olajuwon in Final4 game company. Incredible. And we lucked by Charles picking us!
And from 10 down...my goodness.... I was feeling sick... We needed MAAR and Duncan to surface...and Simpson too...and they finally did. Surreal.
talk about mental toughness!
Charles fucking Matthews has got us through the bleakest stretches of this tourney with his ability to take it to the hoop on his own. He wasn't great in big ten play but holy shit has he been huge in the tournament.
Seconded. Open letter to John Calipari: we will take all of your rejects and turn them into real basketball players.
Let's just hope he stays. I always suspected he would at least test the draft waters and not hire an agent, but he might very well go after this tournament. He's not ready, but his stock is climbing after this tournament.
MO MONEY!!! GO GET PAID NEXT YEAR SON!!!!! You are an all-timer at Michigan!!!
I see you @moritz_weasley

F U Denzel Valentine!!!
jW Sexton alum. Go big reds!
Did Denzel specifically slag Moe recently? Or is it just his general Sparty douchiness you're calling out, which is perfectly fine.
he was at the game in a loyola shirt. apparently has a brother on the team.
Wahahahahahahahaha bang bang bang!!!!
Simmons hitting a large corner 3. Teske with great defense at critical times. Poole's swaggy penetration hoops and FT's. Matthews was a giant. And Mo Wagner plays his best all around game in a Michigan uniform.
I keep asking how the hell we win these games. I don't know. Z and Rahk were...ahem...not good for large chunks of this game. Defense came up huge. Contributions from so many. GREAT TEAM VICTORY!
his defense in the second half was huge!

Definitely true. Z amped up the D in the last 8 minutes. Still found a way to help the team immensely when we needed it most.
No one makes halftime adjustments like him. No one.
... just after calling his first time out in the second half. Z's game was off, but Beilein kept him on task.

The move to put Teske and Poole in realit turned the game around. Jordan brings so much energy. His ovation coming off the floor was almost as loud as Mo's in the final minute, and he deserved it.
“Swaggy penetration”
I’m absolutely using this as often as possible.
Michigan did what great teams do when they're down. They rally, find a rhythm, hunker down and fuckin' just win the game. Ruthless. This group is special.
He got his 6
Had the basketballs to shoot one next trip down after missing. Scored his first three. Give Beilein credit for giving him the green light to shoot.
