Quad 1 Win Posbang
MBB deserves a posbang for playing their best game in while. Consider:
- closed out a win against a hungry team. NW was beat up and tired
- Hunter played his best mix of post and block moves, only one foul, too
- McDaniels and Bufkin were solid at the 1 and 2
- and, of course, a quad 1 win!

I just want to beat Staee. Everything else is gravy.

I'm watching on replay now. Had to leave at halftime to coach my son's team...
Please tell me we had a solid "just like football" chant going...

Team is in a similar position to the 2017 team that got red hot down the stretch. Made the tourney as a 7 seed even including two brutal losses down the stretch at Minnesota and NW. They are not out of it yet.
February 5th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
Agreed! We're Michigan, fergodsakes!
February 5th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
The 2017 team had an automatic bid to the tournament for winning the B1G tournament
February 6th, 2023 at 6:16 AM ^
Correct. But they didn’t need it. They would have been in after reaching the semis.

We're rollin' now, baby!

Not good enough at Big Ten-level basketball.

Quad 1 win? NW or OSU? Whatever, I'm just here for the bang.
Go Blue!

It just occurred to me that I think the OP doesn’t know “Quad 1” actually means something statistically specific and isn’t just a cool name for a big win.
February 5th, 2023 at 6:23 PM ^
Nah, I thought it was top 50, but I’m guessing that’s the criteria for a road win. I got carried away and have been property chastised.
February 5th, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
Here for the bang. Hope its not over with.

Always best to be playing your best at the end of the regular season. No question that Michigan caught Northwestern and Ohio State at the perfect time. The Wildcats were somewhat exhausted from their truncated schedule due to their COVID limitations. The Buckeyes (NET Rank-36 before today), reeling since they started 10-3, now are 1-9 in their last ten games and 5-11 in Quad 1/2 games. But a win’s a win, even if the NCAA Tournament Committee doesn’t give much respect to those two wins. LINK to NET Rankings
As the only team in the NET Top 75 with a losing record, Ohio State’s in danger of falling out of the Top 50 in the updated NET rankings. Their schedule gets harder (home-and-home with Michigan State-NET 45; at Iowa-NET 33 and Purdue-NET 4; hosting Northwestern-NET 57, Penn State-NET 53, Illinois-NET 26 and Maryland-NET 28). Like Michigan they’ve now got five chances to pick up Quad 1 wins.
Michigan’s remaining schedule includes home-and-home with Indiana-NET 21 and Wisconsin-NET 69; hosting Nebraska-NET 101 and Michigan State-NET 45; at Rutgers-NET 19 and Illinois-NET 26. Win three of those to get to 10 conference wins and the Wolverines should be considered for the NIT if they’re left out of the NCAA Tournament. They’re one of FIVE teams currently tied for third place in the Big Ten standings at 7-5.
It wouldn’t surprise me if a few “bracketologists” in their next projections consider Michigan for an 11-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

I saw posbang and came here to say Fuck Duke. Up by 2 with 1:32 to go.

Is Maryland a quad 1 win now that they're in the top 30? I don't think they were top 30 when we demolished them at Crisler. Not sure if it's retroactive like that.
February 6th, 2023 at 6:48 AM ^
In deed they can be. From the AP, “quadrant wins can fluctuate through the season based on the performance of opponents.”
Right now Maryland and NW are quad 1, and if Pitt can move up 4 spots that would also be a quad 1 win.
February 6th, 2023 at 9:15 AM ^
Interestingly enough, our record after 23 games is exactly the same as last season. Let's keep the momentum going and scoop up a few more solid wins and sneak into the tourney.

Though the "right Quad" win is important come March Madness selection, a win over the Buckeyes in any sport is always welcome, enjoyed, and appreciated.
Go Blue!
