U-M bball closing the gap fast on Illini's series lead

Submitted by Human Torpedo on

Our ownership of Illinois with Beilein of late has been well-documented. Currently on a run of 12 wins out of the last 14. Now it appears we could eclipse them soon in the overall series as the record (including all on-court results) stands at 84-87 in favor of the Illini right now. This to me would be a remarkable historical feat for JB to achieve to impact our performance against one opponent that greatly if he can indeed flip the series before he retires

Fricking Indiana and Purdue. I am always looking at football records but the basketball ones are not what I thought they would've been. Michigan State is behind in the series? What a bunch of losers! Bucknut record surprises me considering they are losers too in every sport but football. Actually they are all just loser lowlifes.

This is very encouraging. It is deeply upsetting to have a losing record against one of our greatest rivals. Hopefully Beilein will rectify that for us in short order.

This Michigan team has been finding it's way this season

 

LSU, OSU losses early on looked ugly. Rightfully so, UM should have won those games. Having said that, the team is starting to mesh for the tourney run

Another fun Beilein stat versus a conference foe:

Michigan basketball is also the only Big Ten team that has not yet lost to Nebraska since the Huskers joined the conference in the 2011-2012 season. 

 

Let's keep that up in a few weeks in Lincoln!

Michigan's record under Beilein vs. Nebraska is 8-0; 4-0 at home, 4-0 away, no matchups in the BTT to date. 

 

Additionally, 6 of those 8 games were double digit wins; the exceptions were a 1 point escape in Lincoln during the Stauskas Big Ten Championship year and a 91-85 shootout win in Ann Arbor last season before the team got into the swing of things. 

 

I'm less surprised we're perfect against Husker basketball than the fact that all 12 other Big Ten teams (including MSU) have lost to Nebraska.
