Who Invited the Insane Canadian Muppets
Michigan rode into Pennsylvania with the defense that carried it to last year's national championship game and an even more annoying #13, if that's possible. They ride out with a Tier 1 road victory that should make any non-conference RPI conversations far more enjoyable next March.
And you can't have one without the other!
Also Iggy is currently 10th on the KenPom PoY rankings.

**Looks at halftime score** Who let murderwolf on the court???
November 14th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
He was always there.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
I thought we had no shot tonight. I love how dumb I am.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:35 PM ^
Please don't go outdoors the next couple of weeks, Bambi. You're definitely NOT a Muppet, and it's neither duck season nor wabbit season as far as you're concerned.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
Come for the epic destruction of the defending national champion on their home court...
Stay for the Muppets.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
Helpless. That is what Nova was tonight. Completely helpless. Awesome performance.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
AGHGHGHHHHH!!!!
Time to break these back out at Crisler:
Shirt is officially on!!
November 15th, 2018 at 12:03 PM ^
Yes! Yes! A thousand times, Yes!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
It's such a pleasure to watch Coach Beilein and Co. do their thing. Love this team already.
Better get used to some squirrely shooting offset by hellacious rebounding and defense!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Coach said our team will be shooters by season’s end. Wouldn’t put it past him.
Even if this team shoots a little poorer from three than usual if they play this defense consistently it will be tough on any team.
Could be like Virginia from last year but hopefully with a different result.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
You know murderwolf is in town when the announcers start on some wild tangents at 15m to go in the second like its postgame, and basically continue to keep viewership up, because game outcome isn't in question.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Murderwolf is real
November 14th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Iggy has to be related to MAAR, right?
November 14th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
The Villanova players will be seeing Maize jerseys in their sleep tonight
November 15th, 2018 at 6:12 AM ^
heck, we already spent all night inside their jerseys, might as well be in their dreams, too.
to quote “hoosiers” - “dentyne, coach.” man, what a defense.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
That was some flat out nasty shit.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Yes! The Canadian muppets are back!!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
November Basketball Muppets? YESSSSS!
Go Blue!
November 15th, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
Although I still prefer November football muppets...
November 14th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
I really felt we were a top 10 team this year. I thought we'd win this game. It feels good to be right.
I never imagined such a high margin of victory. Not in a million muppets. It feels incredible to be wrong.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Basketball Muppets... in November? What is this madness?!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
Damn that was a fun game to watch!!!
Glad I got to see my fellow FLHS Green Wave alum Colin Castleton get a bucket at the end of the game!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
Does this count as part of the revenge tour?
November 15th, 2018 at 3:21 AM ^
Oh hell yeah. 4 down 1 to go....
November 14th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
Fire Beilein!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Was wondering when we’d get the muppets!
November 14th, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
Nice first half, but a mediocre second half. Michigan will need a full game if it's going to beat top ten opponents on the road.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Wasn't Nova a top 10 team? and on the road? I thought they were #8.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Troll city. Go back to RCMB with that garbage
We put it in cruise control in the second half, and still played them completely even.
This was a blowout, full stop. We took their cookies.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
Um, you should be secure enough with Beilein to recognize that was a joke.
And rc stands for Residential College, but that's OK.
November 15th, 2018 at 7:53 AM ^
Even in what you think should be obvious jest, it's never a bad idea to add the "/s".
November 15th, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
I laughed, if it makes you feel better. :(
November 14th, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
Wow! May be the best November game from a Michigan basketball team ever. At least the best I can remember. With this defense, the sky is the limit for this team. Hopefully, the revenge tour continues againt UNC in 2 weeks.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
We had those two games a couple years ago where we destroyed SMU and Marquette. But beating the defending national champion in its own gym is tough to top.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Guess we remembered the Alamo...
November 14th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Wish I could give points for this.
November 14th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
November 14th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
Beautiful, total domination. There's gotta be a rutger of some sort in there.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:03 PM ^
Nova had more turnovers (21) than made field goals (14).
November 15th, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
I'm so close to being fully on board with this bball rutger you've created. It utilizes a very "Sparty No!!" facet of basketball (TOs) vs the objective of the game. My only hesitation is I feel the rutger should be reserved for extreme derpy stuff. You know, D3 programs, all Rutger teams, MSU Football...
I can see this UM defense making many teams commit more turnovers than FGs. In fact it may be fairly common accross all the NCAA. Maybe more turnovers than eFG? More turnovers than FGA would really be something...
Edit: it's too late to think. 14 FGs is so damn few. This can't be that common. Carry on -- Long live this new expression of futility!!
November 14th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
Divine Workmanship by the Blue Team.
The mental and physical domination, but esp the mental ... I don't remember seeing that in such high resolution in a game.
Wow man.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
Man that was so fun to watch, I don't know if I've ever been so excited about Michigan sports on the whole. Go Blue!!
November 14th, 2018 at 11:51 PM ^
Some moron brought a freshman Canadian to a party and it went berzerk
November 15th, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
Also Iggy is currently 10th on the KenPom PoY rankings.
And John MF Beilein is #1 for KenPom CoY world-wide!!!!
