Timmy Jr. should get the trifecta in the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. It will be a shame if he doesn't.

it all comes down to sparty, imo. beat them, then i think we are 9-9, probably tied with sparty, psu and illini. i think the tourney takes two of those.
given that we would be 2-0 against both sparty and psu. committee has to take us over them. but an extra win in the tourney would guarantee it.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
We beat Sparty, we probably punch their ticket to the NIT! How sweet would that be? Sending them to the NIT on our way to the NCAA?
February 26th, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
16 - 0 when scoring 65+ points???????
February 26th, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
Love how Morgan screamed 'gimmie that ball' while ripping it down and locking the win. Great win!!! Time to beat lil sister next week.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
Sure would help if Texas would stop losing to bubble teams every weekend....Now lets hope for a massive Duke blowout tonight against Va Tech. And also Memphis getting blown out at UTEP helps us greatly from earlier today! Great win today and beat Sparty!

This team had every reason to bury their heads in the sand after that last heartbreaker and they came out and played their butts off. They are young but showed great maturity to bounce back like this. Now let's beat State!

I give JB a ton of credit both for the kinds of kids he recruits and the way he's developing them. Very impressive.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
Truth!
February 26th, 2011 at 6:39 PM ^
Great win today boys! So excited for next week!
This team is going to be a force in 2012.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
i am very happy. also unpoetical
February 26th, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Zach freakin' Novak. What a clutch defensive play/outlet pass that was.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
his clutch 3 pointer with the shot clock running down the possession before that.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
weird how a guy can turn a mediocre to poor performance into a great one in a matter of a few seconds. and being at the end of the game magnifies it. i feel really good for the kid. he must felt awful after the last game, where he was a complete non-factor.

For the pure entertainment value I just took a glance at the Michigan vs. Minn. thread over at RCMB. One guy over there had the balls to say that Michigan gets away with more pushing and shoving fouls than any team he's seen. What a delusional idiot! MSU basically plays football on the hardwood every single year. They get away with their style of play.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
Only the RCMB would have a game thread for Michigan vs. Minnesota.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
Zack's late 3 pointer won this game. Could the announcers have been any more disappointed with the outcome of the game? Jackson looked like he was gonna cry during Coach B's post game interview.
I guess for the first time ever, I am going to have to hope that MSU takes out Purdue. That sucks. Great road win. Can't wait to see Morris as a junior next year. Damn.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
we need sparty to lose to purdue. that way if we beat sparty, we would be tied at 9-9; and 2-0 against them. no way they go dancin before us then.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
February 26th, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
February 26th, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
our resume's are nearly identical if they lose to us and purdue and finish 9-9
February 26th, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
Take it for what it is but I was watching the BTN's one-on-one feature with Darius Morris and he said that "We'll all be back next year". I thought this was interesting because people had been saying he was thinking about entering the draft.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Toughest SOB on a tough young team. He is the best.
February 27th, 2011 at 3:01 AM ^
Zack Novak.
February 26th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
+1 (edit: posting the Caddyshack video).
February 26th, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
Great game, Michigan! I'm thankful for all the work these guys put in to make themselves a better team and our school proud.
Let's get ready to sweep MSU (take the "state championship" by beating Oakland and Little Brother). Keep workin to keep the NCAA dream run alive. Recognize that MSU will come into Crisler scrapping and fouling all game long b/c it's desperate.
We gotta fill up Crisler Arena and limit the tickets that go to any MSU fans.
Tremendous effort and resilience ever since that loss to the Gophers earlier this season.

Hey, I was at the game, and people have been telling me that I got about ten seconds of face time in the second half. Anybody got a torrent for the game?
