Oh wow! Don't remind me of that! I don't think it was as bad last year as it was for much of the 2016-17 season. It was so ridiculous. The team had one bad, injury-filled season, a so-so season with some young men learning to play together, and then 3/4 of a season where they just stumbled along. It took a mini-run, a plane crash, a B1G Tourney Title, a Sweet 16, another B1G Tourney Title, and a Final Four Championship Game run to permanently (hopefully) take Coach Beilein off the fans' hot seat!

Go Blue!

Fantastic game, fantastic team. 

That defense is deadly, and Teske, Simpson and Matthews are just killers when they smell blood.

Wow, what a performance. Go Blue!

This team is unreal. Credit to Beilein, Yaklich, and all the players. They play with so much intensity and passion. This could be a very special year, especially if Poole could play the entire game like he did in the 2nd half.

Can Belien give Harbaugh some tips on how to coach under pressure ... & how to get players playing loose & clutch like that?

It's crazy to see a Beilein team that's already great this early in the season. So much talent, so perfectly meshed.

Michigan basketball is so damn much fun to watch!

Non-conference wins over North Carolina, Villanova, and Providence. That is a pretty nice resume to have. The B1G is tough this year so stacking up early resume wins very important.

Matthews does not let anyone give Simpson shit.   And if he's smiling at an opponent, game over.

That sequence after Tarheel #1 tried talking smack was just cold.  Put back dunk and one, block, block.  

Pure joy to watch.
