Great team win. Very encouraging to see Teske come alive in the second half. I’m not sure if his issues recently have been about confidence, but it sure seemed like that dunk off the alley pop from Brooks was what made things click for him.

Sure does make a big difference. Maybe this team can get on a run later and make a tourney run. The recent last second losses still haunt me though.

Livers will be a pro... he has an elite shot.  

We just made the tourney after this win... and what a difference with him back !   

Wagner played a superb game on defense...had a ton of key blocks and steals in first half... didn't score much but don't care.. he was a difference maker... heard the announcer mention his german coach came to Ann Arbor recently...it showed today....  I think Wagner just had a growth spurt mentally.

Jeff :) is our second best three point shooter after Livers...  I have total confidence when he shoots it, because he really puts an effort into the shot.

Brooks hit many key shots, as did Johns.  Johns plays tough and without him, I'd be concerned.

Davis I hope is ok, and like I said at start of year, we cannot process him next year....don't know how they'll bring all these players in but he plays with a toughness inside along with Johns, that is really needed.  Am surprised he passed Castleton who I thought had a nice trajectory early on.

Sanderson needs to work Teske on balance and posture... he seems to lean over and off balance...maybe balance and then take a shot standing on a medicine ball.

Remember yesterday when everyone was all like “no way Michigan wins this game” and then today happened?

All the hand wringing over Howard’s coaching for nothing. This team isn’t especially talented in the first place and their best player was out for at least a month. 
 

Livers finally comes back and he puts up 14 points, a steal, and two blocks. Hopefully we still make the tourney and maybe get past the first round. I’ll be more than happy with that. 
 

Keep the recruiting class together, bring in legit top talent for next year, and that, along with our young talent having some time to develop should bode well for the future of this basketball program. 
 

Great win today for coach Howard and company.

It’s night and day this team is just much better with him in the lineup.

If we’re healthy I think we could finish 5-3, 6-2 to finish out the year. Could be better.

@NW - Must Win

Indiana - Must Win

@Rutgers - Tossup

@Purdue - Tossup

Wisconsin - Must Win

@OSU - Lean to Win

Nebraska - Must Win

@Maryland - Probable Loss

We definitely have a chance to get some momentum and finish strong.

You know how when you're reading something in dim light and it's a struggle to see the words, and then someone turns on a big lamp  and it's so much better?

That's like this team with Isaiah back.
