Michigan played a terrific game tonight - came out smoking, and played hard the entire game.
Made some threes, attacked the rim, played really strong defense.
Great, great blowout win on the road - and at Assembly, no less!
19-1!

We have held both Villanova and Indiana to 46 points on their respective home floors.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
We don’t really know how good Indiana is this year, but as long as Villanova keeps winning, that dominant win is going to help us more and more and more as we get closer to March.

THEY’RE BACK!!! Great to see after that Minnehaha game.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
This is how a good coach prepares for a tough road game after 2 bad games! HAIL BEILEIN!! Go blue!!
January 25th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Great job by everyone played with great intensity and never let off the gas pedal. Excellent defense as well. I loved Michigan Basketball!!
January 25th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
I still do.

kenpom doesn't know jack squat.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
LOL -- in his defense, I thought he was being way too optimistic. That building scares me to death. :)
January 25th, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
and i was kidding too. was also worried after our last 2 games. we played well on the road against a credible, if not great, B10 opponent.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
HUGE W
January 25th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Winning by 23 when kenpom had them a 3-point favorite should be helpful.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Always good to get a comfortable W in Assembly.
Just need Poole to shake off the cobwebs and this team should be rolling come Feb.
go blue!!
January 25th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
That was much better than what that brief 10 pt lead portended.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Hell of a performance and what a bounce back kind of night. This is why you’ve got to love a guy like Beilein. A true master of his craft and knows the game. Knows how to get his team ready for anyone.
19-1, top 5 team, on a collision course with the scum from EL. Going to be a hell of a ride to the finish line.
January 25th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
I get that the offense can be frustrating to watch sometimes, but people really need to appreciate the defense this team is playing. Simpson, Matthews, and Teske are absolute monsters.
January 25th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
Hack Alert!

There were way more positives than negatives this game. Iggy went off, Chuck had some big shots too, Zavier's drives were looking great.
The biggest negative I can think of is that MSU definitely has two free wins against IU, which will make the B1G chase slightly harder. We need to have Purdue win on Sunday, and we need to beat Iowa.
January 25th, 2019 at 9:01 PM ^
We just need to keep winning and beat Sparty.
Searching for negatives after the largest win ever at Assembly is picking nits. Crack open a beverage, bask in the glow of a blowout, and have a great weekend!

Conference road wins are like gold. Well done Michigan Basketball !

Indiana had never trailed 17-0 at Assembly. Ever.
January 25th, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
Michigan shut Indiana out for the first 7 minutes of the game. THAT is defense.
January 25th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
GREAT TEAM WIN! GO BLUE!

Have to give props to the IU crowd, they stayed in that game until 10mins left. I'd love to see Crisler like that on Tuesday for the OSU game.
