Your favorite Michigan Basketball moment this season?
So many to choose from.
For me personally, it was the final seconds ticking off after FSU didn't foul and it became clear we were going to the Final Four.
Got a link to the article?
Found the article:
I wondered why he didn't post the link, but then I saw the date it was published. lol
Edit: comment was made to previous thread topic.
Favorite game has to be the Houston game, of course. The Michigan State games are up there, too.
the A&M game may have been the most fun game in the tournament but i think the buzzer beater was the most exciting individual moment.
I was really happy when we beat Michigan State in East Lansing
I grew up a few minutes from E Lansing, and most of my HS friends went to MSU. Beating MSU at Breslin was so so so great. Hard to beat Poole's shot, that was an all-time moment. But Mo going off for 27 and a double digit win was my season highlight.
Winning the Big Ten Tourney and the Shot II.
You saw the shot.

You filmed the shot.
Here’s a compilation of the great reactions from Saturday night. #GoBlue | #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/47YjysMCQH
The dogs had more fun than the people.
was fantaboulous!!!!!!!!!!
I already posted this in Seth's "One Shining Moment" thread, but it was so much fun I'm going to post it again:
For me, it's the confetti. I've become all about the confetti.
My wife is a Dukie. Last year we watched on TV as Duke won the ACC Tournament on Saturday night. When they won, confetti came pouring down on them from the arena rafters and filled the sky.
I thought to myself "Man, I really want that for Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament tomorrow."
The next day on Sunday, I was in the stands in DC for the Big Ten Tournament final and got to take this picture:
Got it!
This year in NYC, we got to repeat that scene all over again. (Duke didn't.)
Check out this amazing-angle confetti footage at 7:50:
"Let the confetti rain in New York!"
It did not stop there. Another round of confetti awaited in the West Regional Final as Michigan hoisted a Final Four trophy and cut down the nets:
It's been a great run for confetti.
CHEERS!
M-Dog
Me, every time there's a thread started by someone other than umbig11
without that theres no Sweet 16 or Final Four,,thats easy
UNC was kind of crappy also. Really, every loss sucks - other than maybe the one in West Lafayette that was just nuts, the two teams answering shot for shot.
When it sunk in that we finished ranked #2 in the entire country - when it looked in January like we wouldn't even be #2 in the state of Michigan - that was pretty special.
Say what?
Which directional school was going to be better than Michigan?
Eastern was looking tough.
Secs vs FSU
Jordan Poole chasing down Sister Jean after the game to tell her what a big fan he was of her.
Way too many to have a favorite, but here is my list of memories in no particular order:
1. Taking my family to Crisler in December to take in the Jacksonville game. First game my kids have ever been to and watching their faces that day made a memorable family moment.
2. Both MSU games
3. UCLA comeback to win in OT
4. Poole staredown into camera after dunk at PSU
5. Game winning MAAR free throws vs Maryland
6. OT win vs Minnesota despite the horrendous officiating
7. Ohio State win on Senior day with Austin Hatch suiting up
8. Charles laughing at Nick Ward
9. Winning the BTT against Purdue
10. Revenge win vs Nebraska
11. Jordan Poole game winning shot vs Houston
12. Beat down @ Maryland where we scored 50 some points in the first half
13. Beat down of Texas A&M in the tournament.
14. Beating FSU to go to the Final 4
15. Comeback vs Loyola in the Final 4
16. Beilein water fights post game
17. Blowout win at Wisconsin
18. Winning on the road at Texas
19. Beating Iowa 3 times
20. Seeing Beilein outcoach many other coaches and get every last ounce out of his players en route to the National Championship Game.
All these moments tied into one makes this my favorite UM basketball season. Just as good as the 1989 National Championship season. Even though that one had a better ending. The ride this team put us on was just as good!
Let's do second favorite. If your favorite isn't that, I don't now what to say to you.
Anyway, my second favorite was the first fifteen minutes of the Championship game. I was there, and the Alamodome was electric until, you know, we bricked our way out of contention.
Bobby Thompson's hr is no longer the shot heard round the world. Nothing more to say. Everyone else and thing is playing for second.
after coming so close twice. Allowing Jordan Poole to blow confetti off a balding head...
include two decisive wins over MSU and the Teske slam in the Big10 tournament that led
to this reaction by Simpson:
For me it was definitely Poole's shot to win the game against Houston. In addition to the timing and what was at stake, I had the good fortune to witness it in person. The only downside was there was only one other Michigan fan in the entire section I was in, and we were nowhere near each other. Even being around Houston fans would have been better than the indifference of the Kansas fans who were surrounding me. They thought it was cool to see a last second shot win the game, but they really didn't care which team won.
40+ replies and nobody mentioned man-child CJ Baird with an NCAA tournament run for the ages? Averaged 120 points / 40 rebounds / 40 blocks per 40 minutes on 100% shooting, It's hard to do much better than that. ;)
Also -- the moment when they started playing "I Love L.A." at the Staples Center, after Michigan had finished cutting down both nets and the staff were trying to clear the arena. Of course, that may be because I've actually listened to the lyrics. (Hint: it's satire, Angelenos ;). Actually, pretty much everything about the games in LA were awesome. It was loud.
