Michigan played great basketball tonight. Most of the game was an offensive clinic by both teams. Can't expect perfection.

They're in this right to the end - great effort by Michigan against a really good Purdue team.

Inside defense blows.... Purdue gives them a chance late, they decide to choke it up.

We didn't deserve to win.

We're never gonna make another deep run with the kind of Inside guys that Bielein recruits.  I like the guy but its just what we are.  Rely too much sporadic outside shooting.  Sure, they're better than Donnal, Doyle and company, but that ain't sayin shit.

Purdue aint that great.

Just tired of watching us get manhandled down low.  It's kind of infuriating how pathetic we are inside.

Purdue is the biggest team in the country. Haas is a freaking giant.

We played them aallllmmmoosssst even up in two games. 

No one likes losing, but we got absolutely screwed at home, and played them extremely close tonight, despite Purdue being hotter than blazes. 

And we beat the Sparties on their floor - they're another team loaded with huge bodies.

We can beat Purdue or anybody on a neutral floor.

A pleasure to watch. Few costly turnovers by Simmons Matthews and Rahk. Three layups missed by Z Livers and Matthews (shoulda passed). Purdue played lights out. Hats off to both teams for a great game. Players showed some fire tonight. Both teams will make some noise in the tourney. Hoping for a miracle but ain't mad about it either way. Go Blue!
