Go Blue.

EDIT: I WAS OVERLY COMPLIMENTARY OF WISCONSIN BECAUSE YOU DO NOT TEMPT THE CBB GODS WHEN PLAYING AT THE TROLL CENTER. BEILEIN HAS WON HIS LAST 3 GAME AGAINST THE BADGERS.

Wisconsin looks so slow and flat-footed on defense - yikes.

Michigan is amazingly effecient when shooting well AND attacking the basket.

Terrific road performance so far - keep it up, boys!

Can this team ever put a complete game together against a bad opponent? 23 point lead with just over 12 minutes left in the game after dominating the first 28 minutes of it and now Wisconsin's on a 10-0 run and has it down to 13 with still over 9 minutes left. Like, wtf?

My expectations that Michigan shouldn't allow a 25-point second-half lead against a bad opponent fall to 10 with many minutes still left in the game are "insane"?

I would love to see the data on how many teams this year have allowed a 25+-point second-half lead fall into single digits, which Michigan is dangerously close to doing, especially when an above-.500 team is playing a sub-.500 team. 

Something tells me that this doesn't happen as often as you seem to think.

Michigan is playing a great game overall. Sure they’ve had bad stretches but that’s how basketball is. (See the first half for a great stretch.) did you see MSU barely won at Iowa recently?

Coming out of another timeout and a rushed terrible shot by Matthews and then give up a 3 on the other end. Think they were talking about where they wanted to eat after the game during the timeout?
