One Frame At A Time: Iowa
At that moment, Iowa's bench decided they'd seen enough. Fran turned to call them back, then thought better of it. Run, my children. Run while you can.
[For the rest of the Iowa game in gifs, hit THE JUMP.]

Never change, Fran:
Fetch this:
Hey, they finally did it!
Twice!
So nice, gif'd it twice:
Ankle's fine, guys:

Um, deploy it again?

I love Stauskas swag so hard. You can hear Gus going "uhn" as Stauskas hangs on the rim. Killerwhaletank y'all.
January 8th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
that his swag is fueled by his love of Justin Bieber.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
Whenever I see Stauskas I instantly think of American Pie and Stiffer's mom....
January 8th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
Awesome, Ace. Keep 'em rolling.
Re: Gus Johnson. He was on fire during the Iowa game. My fave comment involved Gus describing an Iowa offensive move (White?) as an effective move that you just might see at a local "Y" pick-up game by someone wearing knee pads.

the trip to school in "Fast Break".
January 8th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
Stauskas is Reggie Miller!!
January 8th, 2013 at 3:31 PM ^
Except that Nik is better then Cheryl Miller. Or his own sister.
January 8th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
Watching these gifs lets me appreciate in slow motion, over & over, in exquisite detail, exactly how awesome Trey Burke is.
January 8th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
I was just like, oh, good patience to let him fly by before you lay it-WHATTTTT
We're good at basketball.

Dunky dunk dunks. I like dunks. Yum in my belly.
January 8th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
He's got a major man crush on Stauskas, you can tell.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:09 PM ^
Who doesn't?
January 8th, 2013 at 3:04 PM ^
That McGarry block was a thing of beauty...when I saw it live, it brought me to mah feet! Love his game...tough kid and gets better and better with the outlet passes.

It must have been a Maplia Leaf.

That's where all the Canadians come from.

These are great. I like this segment.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:21 PM ^
Ace, that first Stauskas gif looked really familiar to me. Is it somehow possible to sync up or combine Stauskas hanging from the rim with Prince handing from the rim on Chapelle's Show?
January 8th, 2013 at 3:32 PM ^
At first I thought my favorite part of the first Trey Burke one was the filthy crossover.
But then I noticed that instead of crashing the boards, Hardaway Jr. starts running back on defense as Burke is releasing the shot because he is already certain that the ball is going in! Wooooowwwww.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
This has also been described as "getting back to play defense". Seriously though, it's always been a big part of Beilein's gameplan to not allow fast break points. That's part of why his teams often have paltry offensive rebounding numbers.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
If Timmy were to stick around one more year and spend the summer teaching Stauskas to develop his handle the way Timmy has... the potential there is somewhere between unreal and pants-crappingly unreal.
January 8th, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
I could still see Hardaway sticking around for his senior year. He doesn't need to get to the league this year, his family has money. Hopefully Tim Sr. will convince him to stay, maybe just wishful thinking...
January 9th, 2013 at 9:41 AM ^
January 8th, 2013 at 7:18 PM ^
I will also be ecstatic.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:54 PM ^
With 1210 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. has now tied some guy named Robert Traylor (/s) at 35th all-time for most career points in a Michigan uniform. Good job Timmy!
January 8th, 2013 at 4:34 PM ^
To have only 17 points 13 minutes into the half and end up with 46 is crazy. The light switch went on and Iowa was shut down!
January 9th, 2013 at 1:45 AM ^
I watched the game again last night and noticed that we had about 23 points with under 4 minutes to go and doubled that number in less than 1/5th of the half.....effing amazing.
Caris Lavert and McGary keep improving and it gives us so many more options, I loved that 15 footer Mitch hit in the 1st half on a nice assist from Trey I believe, as usual. Mitch being able to knock that type of shot down has to be horrifying for opposing teams.
When Horford comes back, we will have 10 legit players giving us an array of big fellas, wing guys and ball handlers, yes we are really good at basketball. Oh, I like our coaching staff too, they seem to be pretty good at what they do.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:04 PM ^
I would love to see Ed Helms in The Hangover 3 play a pickup game of basketball with the wolfpack, and his dad, played by Fran sitting just off the court. During the game Stu would drop the ball out of bounds, and the gif of Fran is yelling at him to use two hands.
It would explain why Stu is so neurotic, growing up with McCaffery as your dad, always worring about when the next rant/meltdown is going to happen.

the most likeable Michigan team ever. I go back to the Phil Hubbard days, this team is just ridiculously gifted.
