Michigan Men’s Basketball has now won 31 of their last 32 Games
The lone loss to Villanova in the National Championship Game...who played out of their minds that night. This is just absurd. And yet I feel that Beilein, while well respected, is still probably the most underrated Men’s Basketball Coach around.

A bit early, but what the hell:
I'm having a dr. Pepper.

So how often will we post this? Every 3 games? Here's a formula that might help:
n_wins = n_games_this_year+14
n_games = n_wins+1
January 15th, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
That streak is still going and is undefeated.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
Sorry repeated posts about Michigan winning annoy you. Maybe the powers that be can just keep this thread pinned to the top of the message board?... as we will continue to have won 31 of our last 32 games through Friday and no other threads would be necessary. ?♂️

Nice to see the Kansas / California rivalry heating up!
January 15th, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
The funny thing is, I think they both live in CA!!!
January 15th, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
Lol. Spent about 3 years there. In Denver now.
January 15th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
From what I here, everyone is moving to Denver and the locals are pissed.
January 15th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
Wouldn’t you be if WichitanWolverine moved to your home town?
January 16th, 2019 at 8:25 AM ^
Harsh, bruh...
January 16th, 2019 at 11:05 AM ^
You move more than I do!
January 15th, 2019 at 4:06 PM ^
That's not what annoys him, OP. What's annoying is that with every game, these win/loss records become stale as it follows a simple formula even the most casual fan has been made aware of by now. It's a nice little side fact but probably doesn't deserve it's own post.
Besides 17-0 is really the only one that matters. Ask the players and coaches and I'm sure they'll say the same thing.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:46 PM ^
False!
Something something most important game is next one on the schedule or something.
January 15th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Every 5 threads.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
One loss in the last 343 days!
January 15th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
They lost every game in Spain last summer. Coach B told us that the other night.
I think the OP should edit his post.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
if they can make it through the next 6 games they'll have gone a full calendar year since their last non-National Championship-game loss. Feb 6, 2018 @Northwestern was the last time they lost prior to the title game. Helluva run.
January 15th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
They've gotten twice the vengeance on that loss.
January 16th, 2019 at 6:15 PM ^
Now THAT is math/ calendaring that I can get behind.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
This was covered when it was 29-1 then 30-1. Glad to see we're so good at counting though. Keep up the good work.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
I went to Michigan...math game is strong.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
Let me know when you guys are ready to work on spelling. Down here in Ohio they practice constantly on how to spell "Ohio" because candidly, I think they're unsure of what letters need to go where.
You'll see them walking along and suddenly someone will yell 'O.H." unsure of what comes next. Luckily there is usually someone close by who is willing to help them out and will respond "I.O" so they can finish the word properly.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
All those girls look like they're in college...they STILL fucked it up.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
January 15th, 2019 at 6:07 PM ^
Or you are supposed to be looking at them from behind. Or maybe it's dyslexia?
January 15th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
The former is preferred
January 15th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
I was at the DMV outside Cincinnati and had a wonderful discussion with someone working there about the football teams a few years ago when she saw that I was moving from Michigan. As I was leaving, she tossed out an "O-H." The silence that followed bordered on the holy. It was perfect to slip in a quiet "n-o."
January 15th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
It's like yelling "THE STARS AT NIGHT, ARE BIG AND BRIGHT" when you're deep in the heart of Texas.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:45 PM ^
I don't think I've ever heard anyone do that.
Now, don't get me wrong -- if someone plays the song, you can count on everyone within earshot to clap four times at the appropriate spot. And, they play it during the 7th inning stretch at Astros games (hey, Houston, look at a map!). I don't know that I've ever noticed it at a UT game, but I've only been to a couple. It's nothing at all like O-H, which is like "hello" to an OSU fan.
Quick poll, though -- which is more irritating? O-H or We-Are? I go back and forth...
January 15th, 2019 at 5:59 PM ^
J... I'm severely impressed that my comment didnt go "whoooosh" right over your head. You're probably right in the current climate. In the 80s.. everyone half in touch with shit like this, would have "HAILED" to a comment like that. Kudos for randomly knowing. Hand clap.
January 15th, 2019 at 2:45 PM ^
Don't mind this being posted over and over - though the memories are thankfully fading, I still have nightmares of the Ellerbe/Amaker years.
This shit is a LOT more fun...
January 15th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
IT'S SNOWFLAKE SEASON EVERYBODY!
January 15th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
But Beilein can't recruit!
January 15th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
sweet jinx brah
January 15th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
Jinx what? We already lost to Villanova...brah.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
yes because jinx takes logic into account lol issa joke man! thanks for the down vote tho
January 15th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
No. We split with them.
January 15th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
31 regular season games and If they get a top 4 seed in the conference then a max of 3 tournament games so at 17-0 we are halfway through the regular season. To get a 1 seed in March you need a minimum of 27 wins in a chaos filled year but probably closer to 30 and some form of conference championship this year. So what's everyones final record prediction at the halfway point? I want to say 30-4 but even that feels a little bearish at this point.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:53 PM ^
30-4 is not bearish. The Big Ten is really, really good this year. KenPom would be something like 28-6 ish (MSU is ahead of Michigan in KenPom right now).
I'm not saying 30-4 is unattainable. I just think it's slightly optimistic.
If they get to 22-0 (wins @Wisconsin, vs. Minnesota, @Indiana, vs. OSU, @Iowa), 30-4 would start to look bearish. KenPom has Michigan 3.4-1.6 through the next five games; put another way, a 14% chance to get to 22-0.
I think the most likely records are somewhere between 28-6 and 30-4. At this point, 7 losses would be a little disappointing. If they can win four out of the next five, I'd look toward the upper end of that range.
January 15th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
We know.
January 15th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
Can someone please explain this????
January 15th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
According to ESPN they think Michigan has a 43.1% chance of beating Wisconsin. They also think Wisconsin has a 56.9% chance of beating Michigan. You are welcome.
January 15th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
brilliant!
January 15th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
It’s a match up predictor that gives Wisconsin a 56.9% chance of winning. Michigan’s chance of winning is calculated as 1-.569, since there can be no ties. Hope that helps.
January 15th, 2019 at 3:20 PM ^
Doesn’t mean 56.9% of the time WIS’s power will matchup up correctly with M; and M will incorrectly matchup 43.1% against WIS? ;-)
