The game was delayed because of weather.  Columbus is just a crummy place, in general. Anyways, we are up 4-1 already!  Go Blue, get that championship!

Michigan Defense playing great the last 5 quarters going back to the Hopkins game.  nullified any chance of Penn State getting a shot after a T.O. with a great stick check.  Taylor really seeing the ball and standing tall in the pipes.

Penn State on their heels and it’s looking like the middle of the Johns Hopkins game.  defense is stifling and confusing their offense.  Michigan playing at a high level at the right time.

13 - 3 now!

“May the Fourth be with you” shout out on BTN

Also, my new son-in-law is a PSU fan (by geography) and jinxed his team earlier today.

Go Blue!!

Love to get the big win and the bid to the dance, but damn…. Penn State was ass in the second half. Michigan played excellent defense, but also was a bit fast and loose with the ball here and there, and it just didn’t matter. Penn State completely pooped themselves on both ends. What the hell happened?

I was quite surprised to see Penn State settling for weak low to high flips over the goal in the 2nd half.  But that’s what happens when defense takes away passing lanes and doesn’t give up shooting position.  their attack was unable to generate offense behind Taylor.   They couldn’t win 1 on1 matchups against mid or d.   They just didn’t have time or space to get great shots at Taylor and when they did he ate them up.  excellent disciplined defense, let’s hope it carries into the NCAAs

BTN announcers were discussing it early 4th.  Maybe don’t want to shake is confidence going into NCAA Tourney?  I’d think a change should’ve been made in the 3rd before the game was out of hand right around the point Michigan scored 6 unanswered.  not totally his fault the D in front of him got shredded.

Back2Back B1G Tournament Championships!  gotta relish the moment after years of building the program.  after seasons 4 & 5 for Conry it was starting to look doubtful if he was the guy.  But any doubt was erased last season and they’ve proven they belong.  NCAA tournament next!  GO BLUE!
