BTN had it on replay yesterday morning. They might do it again. It was a good one!

dooook is getting smoked by Miami, 85-54. I love it!

A close first half tonight but the Wolverines took over in the second half. 15 point win.

BAM!

Good win. Started a little slow after not playing in a week. Look more like the team we're used to in the 2nd half. Atleast hit the 15 mark for SFTC.

Just have to beat Illinois...no excuses this time.

Winning on the road is tough but Illinois has been in a slump. I just hope they don't pick Sunday to wake up from it. Obviously, their coach has some insight into how to upset Michigan.

[The Oracle]

Yeah, this is gonna be a tougher game than people are expecting. Won't be surprised by an L.

[Paul L]

Green is Blue!!!

Quest for the #1 ranking on the line. Jordan Morgan rolled his ankle a minute into the game. He may be gone for the rest of it.

It's never easy.

Not lookin' too hard so far.

Yeah, it was a nice 2nd half. I was impressed how Horford stepped in. He hasn't played much since he dislocated his knee-cap. Bielfeldt was effective too.

Burke had a sloppy game for him but still wound up with 19/5/5.

I guess Michigan will be #1 in one poll and Kansas in the other.

What's best is that they are up top in the B1G. 19-1 overall, 6-1 in the B1G and 3-1 on the road in the B1G.

Amazing to think how far they've come since Beilein's first year. They were 5-15 after 20 games that year.

There's a long way to go before they can win anything, though. Another tough week ahead. Home vs. NW should be a win but then they go to IU for a Saturday night game. Easily the toughest of the year with all the attention that is expected.

Then, they have The ohio, at Wisky and at spartie. 3-2 in the next 5 games wouldn't be great but I'd still consider that a pretty good result.

Biefeldt is a beast. Going to love having him for the next 4 years. Guy is tough as nails.

#1!!!!!!

Obviously we'll cough it up at some point, but it feels good to be back.

I'm at the point where I'm all in on Trey Burke. I hope we can draft him. What a fantastic player.

It's funny that on the day UM climbs back to the top of the polls, ESPN's headline college hoops article is "Should we even care about the polls?"
