Oh, hi, somebody else who isn’t a raving lunatic. Apparently Z “sucks” even if though he played great D and put up 16. Matthews can’t play even though he’s Mochigan’s 2nd best player most nights. Like, Purdue couldn’t miss and it wasn’t bad D. They’re a really damn good team. Michigan went toe-to-toe with them twice. This team is good. Forget the Nebraska loss. That was a brutal stretch of 3 games in 6 nights.

How I s ohio st better a basketball team than Michigan??? They still are undefeated and have a new coach and a just decent recruiting class. We could be in trouble if their coach is the real deal. We can’t win vs that school man smh. Hopefully we can turn it up in the BigTen tourney again.

Their impressive wins include: MSU at home. That is all. They'll get destroyed by Purdue and lose their rematch to us. They've had a crazy soft schedule so far. I think their only road games have been Northwestern, Iowa, and Rutgers so far.

IF 1) we could hit free throws and 2) we could hit free throws. Seriously, though, that was the difference statistically tonight. Sure, Purdue got the ball inside to Haas and their other bigs way too easily and we were helpless to then keep it out of the hole, but they couldn't stop what we were doing either (we stopped ourselves for about a 5-minute stretch halfway through the 2nd half). Id like to get another shot at them in March. They're beatable. Just got to keep improving and working and improving and working and improving some more.

Good game against a tough ass team on the road. Anyone who thinks otherwise wasn't paying attention. Michigan has flaws yes but they're still a damn dangerous team.

Michigan had a solid game. Too bad we couldn’t get the W. Purdue is tough to defend. The only difference in the game was the number of fouls.

The lineup with him and Robinson on the floor at the same time was death last night. Everytime that lineup was on the floor Purdue made a run. It may work against smaller teams. Teske handled Haas much better. I think every time Haas was forced to shoot over his right shoulder he missed. Wagner never took advantage of Haas' substitute either.
