Had a great time at the pep rally last night.
Juice and Hester showed up.
The band and cheerleaders did their thing.
Food and dessert were tasty.
About 50 or so folks attended.

Be interesting to see if Groce has them motivated and crisp after the disheartening loss. Good luck to em!

A flight of just over an hour in the same time zone is not going to affect them nearly as much as their plane crashing into a ditch will. The line seems to be narrowing, and I assume that to be the reason. Still, I never have good feelings when we play Michigan.

I think if we're gonna analyze it the biggest issue is that they had to convene this morning at 6. Which means their guys probably had to get up at like 5-5:30. On a night where they maybe wouldn't have slept too well because of their stress from the day, but also knowing they were gonna have to try to redo it immediately the next day. I think we're saying jet lagged, but really mean they might be worn down by mental stress and physical exhaustion.

I'm guessing they still get it done today running on adrenaline and then it hits them tomorrow against Purdue. :(

Michigan is flying into DC this morning after their harrowing experience yesterday. This is absolutely winnable.

Heavy doses of Mav. Kick outs and threes...we do that and we win. I think our defense shows up and pushes hard. We will win this one...

Mav needs to handle the double a lot better than he did last time.

From what I'm seeing on Twitter, Michigan is in D.C. but is stuck in traffic (or was, hard to say). 90 minutes to game time, and there is still talk of moving the game to a different time today?

Another reason to NOT have the Big Ten tournament in D.C.

Werner says that UM just showed up. That should be enough time to still play.

Hopefully it is pushed back till around 4 pm our time. That would be perfect for me, since I will then be able to watch the game.

Update: now confirmed by B10
