No game thread and we're at the first tv timeout?

Nice start for us, we're up 3.

What a fantastic performance! The entire team played well - just a tremendous effort by everyone.

Damn, much needed - wow! 

Go Blue!  Muppets!!!

Best ball movement on offense (by far), seemed like way fewer turnovers than normal. Helps to play another team with big guys inside, so help was there already for stopping the dribble drive. Rebounded great. Keep it up down in Cbus gentlemen!

Massive win.

As bad as Michigan looked versus PSU, Michigan looked just as great dominating Purdue.

Honestly, I thought Michigan could win this, after how they played at Purdue...I did not think Michigan would blow them out however.

The biggest issue is consistency with the team. That's about focus and maturity...They can play with the best team in the country, but need to believe that they can.

Massive win for the resume

Of all the nights to be called in on an emergency at work :( what a weird box score, 2 points from the bench bur a blowout W. I'll take it, hopefully a sign of things to come shooting wise.

We are apparently 6-2 since we got COVID free (so not counting the Illinois game).  Three of those wins and one loss were kind of miserable so it doesn't feel like that, but apparently true.

Weird.

This gets Michigan MUCH closer to the tournament. One more win against a top-tier B1G team (OSU Saturday, anyone?) and win the others and we should be in.

Signature win - one of the best wins by anyone in the country this year - Go Blue!

Huge game for tourney purposes.  If we lost we had little to no shot.  I'm not sure I agree with others arithmetic but with 8 games and now 13 wins, even 6-2 gets us to 19 wins.  A nice stretch of 5-3 makes us 18-12 and I'm not sure that's enough. Say we add wins of Iowa, Ohio St., Rutgers and Sparty...and Illinois?  Ohio St twice, Iowa twice, and @ Trohl Center are very hard wins to get.

So 5 solid wins and but 18-12 I'm just not sure is enough.  19-13 after BigTen Tournment play I'm not sure is hugely better.  It's really going to come down to the wire.  I wish this huge win got us to a 15th win and it'd feel a lot better tonight!  But I am enjoying tonight!

That was fun to watch but the announcers took the fun out of it so the volume went to 4. Still wasn’t enough so it had to be muted. Great win. Happy for the team

They looked good. They had fun. 

Crisler was back to what it was (so bummed last years team didn’t get atmospheres like this).

Win Saturday and we’re right back in it and a team no one wants to see in the second round
