Today's Clue solution? Who killed the Wolverines, how and where?

This was a tough one, but I think it's between these two. I'll let the rest of you decide.

Also, I did not open loyalty at all today until now. I know you will miss my insightful news during the game but I’m gonna have to do the same next game to see if that works.

Why was the announcers, media, everyone alluding to this game as Michigan's senior day? They still have another home game (Maryland).

I’ll say this, there are only 11 teams in college basketball with the same or more wins in Q1 games than us.

True. We played so many. I think, if we beat Purdue and have a dominant showing early in the BTT, maybe we get a boost back into that 4/5 territory. Our advanced metrics help. Our January/February do not.

If a Brad hater falls in the woods after a 20 point blow out win against BT leader on the road and no one is around, do they make a noise?

To be that guy, then yes. If we make threes, we are an unstoppable juggernaut.

We were 3/14 in the first half and gave up a seven point lead at half. You got to see the dichotomy of our team's personalities in a single game.

Regardless of our threes going in or out, our offense had motion, passing, and we weren't settling for threes, we just made our open ones.

We've made changes and improvements, especially on defense, as it was very evident in the last two games. We are still shooting too many threes in my opinion. When they go in, we look like we did tonight. When they don't, we look like we have the past few weeks.

Good to see we are getting back on track. Great adjustments by players and staff. Add Morez, and I think we can make some noise in March.

This strategy really demonstrates how hard it is to box out as a guard. Illinois really takes advantage that there's going to be a couple perimeter players not 100% locked in on any given possession. Also a big advantage to the guards crashing because they can have eyes on the ball the whole way to get a better idea of where it's going.

Well he needs to earn his time and be focused. Today who ate you benching? Bozell. Riley or KJ? This benching Boz crap has to stop. He guards bigger guys, rebounds and makes FTs. I like DGL but he usnt one of our best 3 wings. It's not close.

Agree way too much Boswell hate and DGL love despite that DGL can’t guard anyone and his on/off again offensive nights. DGL needs to shoot with at least 1 foot in the paint.

Boswell has received far to mouch hate in general. He does sometimes try to do too much, but he's been better than most people here like to act. Especially earlier in the season and lately... much like the team as a whole.

Kylan was 6/8 from 2 and 1/5 from 3. Love that he’s being intentional about driving and taking midrange shots in the paint.

If Tre plays like that and shoots 35%-40% from 3, we’re going to be dangerous down the stretch. When he takes a set 3PA, he’s shooting with a lot of confidence.

Great performance from the team but these guys really excited me with their play tonight.
