Understand that not everyone is going to stay/be retained, but keeping the one that the guys will spend the most time with this off-season is huge in easing the transition.

For division, Michigan needs to beat OSU and win at least 2 of the next 3 games. Assuming wins against Indiana and Rutgers, the UM-PSU game only implications is for playoffs.

FYI - if anyone is looking for a hotel room for this weekend, I just cancelled mine at Hilton Garden Inn at Briarwood 

I think they may have a couple rooms open, but at least one for sure. 

Just in case anyone is looking for a room last minute.

Actually, if you get the ball down 14 with about 6 minutes left. Drive down, get 7, get a 3 & out, and get the ball back with 1:50 (ish) left, that is pretty good. They had enough time to get down and tie it, just can’t handle a stunt. I think a more seasoned offense may have been able to save a couple seconds per play on the 2nd to last Drive, but all that changes is a fumble with 2 minutes left for ND to run out the clock. With a new QB and our oline, I feel that that drive had the appropriate pace.

Based on what I have read about this kid so far today, this isn’t a 3*. 

Kid sounds like a future Dude

Completely agree - was never

He can retire at Michigan and

Pay that man his

And his assistants too



Always thought he would be

Always thought he would be invited to the combine and that he would return to Michigan next year.

Found him

He is a senator from Texas



I kid, I kid

Boo him and boo his mom!

Boo him and boo his mom!

Really good schedule

The ones we only have at home (Nebraska, Ohio State, and Purdue) should be in the top half of the league, and the ones we have only on the road (Illinois, Iowa, and Rutgers) don’t concern me. Iowa can score but cannot defend at all.

To add to your point, Poole

To add to your point, Poole has stated that the Burke shot against Kansas was the first time he started to think of Michigan as a place to play. So, we are seeing impacts, just not as quick as we thought we might.

Oh, and we had the wonderful

Oh, and we had the wonderful Cooper years. The 90’s were indeed nice.

I like this point

We may be

We may be better next year, but it is going to be hard to be more successful. School record wins, Big Tourney Champs, and Finals appearance - that is a hell of a year.

When you are facing a team

When you are facing a team like that it is not uncommon to physically and emotionally burn yourself out. I think they were playing so intense that first 10-12 minutes that they hit a bit of a wall, then, stop me if you have heard this before, a guy comes off the bench and torches us at the end of the first half of the championship game.

I think we will offensively

I think we will offensively be a better team, but I do think we will regress on defense since we may be getting a lot younger, if the freshmen coming in live up to the hype.



It is very difficult for a

It is very difficult for a freshman PG to come right in and run Beilein’s offense. Z is the starter day one. Who knows what it will look like at the end of the year.

Hell of a run starting with

Hell of a run starting with the Iowa game in the Big Tourney.



And man, that was a great first 10 minutes.



That Nova team is all time scary.

When he hit that 2nd 3, I

When he hit that 2nd 3, I said out loud “good, Duncan’s got his six now” and actually relaxed a bit, was still a wreck but a little bit less of one.

I feel like his almost at

I feel like his almost at times reckless attacking style is exactly what we needed early on the 2nd half when he got his points.

With a big game on Monday and

With a big game on Monday and a win, then the answer is yes.

If Mo comes back next year,

If Mo comes back next year, can we get his parents to move to A2? Maybe a team Mom?

We got a puncher’s chance and we only have to beat them once.



Villanova tonight was basically us against Texas A&M. We need them to come down to earth a bit and we need to obviously shoot better, but I am telling you there is a chance.



Never mind

Never mind

I am thinking we should try

I am thinking we should try to play better defense then Kansas is against Nova. That may help.

Here comes Kansas

I’ll see what I can find out,

I’ll see what I can find out, need to talk to my uncle Biff first

Well this is awkward, I bet

Well this is awkward, I bet $1000 on a Loyola and Michigan making it to the Final Four. Been a good tourney, also had $1000 on Virginia going down to the 16. Also, feeling good on my bet on the finals, but I can’t tell you more detail until around 11-12 Monday night.







I always had a rule to never

I always had a rule to never bet on Michigan games. I just couldn’t trust myself to be objective.



Agree - seems to me that most

Agree - seems to me that most players that do just “test the waters” make some statement similar to testing be waters/getting feedback/etc. it just state I am declaring.



Either way, not really worried about Ward going or staying.

Thanks - was all excited for

Thanks - was all excited for another basketball/hockey/basketball/hockey weekend



Guess it will be spread out to basketball/basketball then hockey/hockey the next weekend.



Probably better for my health anyways, last weekend almost killed me.



Question

My question doesn’t deserve own thread, but hockey related, so I will drop it here.



Just started following college hockey after I was lucky enough to go to a game at Yost. Why is there almost two weeks in between advancing to the Frozen 4 and the actual Frozen 4. Is that normal or is it to avoid conflicts with basketball’s Final 4?

I think a better protest

I think a better protest would be to come out with tape or something over the Big 10 and NCAA patches on their jerseys.

They probably would just

They probably would just forfeit both teams. Cancel the other game and just tell Kansas and Nova to show up Monday night for the championship game. Then they would probably end up suing the schools for lost revenue.



And based on reactions to peaceful protests, a large portion of the fanbase would blame the players for costing them a championship.

And they are in Chicago

And they are in Chicago



Damn winning a rock fight is

Damn winning a rock fight is stressful, but it is great that we can win either way now.

Never seen that many passed

Never seen that many passed up short jumpers that are wide open just passed up for covered lobs.

Is it a new rule that if you

Is it a new rule that if you are wearing orange that every other shot has to be an alley-oop, even if you have an open three footer?

Of course if we were able to

Of course if we were able to win it all, beating Duke for it would be a little extra on top
