Illinois 93, Michigan 85 Postgame

#79      
So the question is, do we want a share (4 way) of a BIG regular season championship or an easier path to more q1 wins and really playing for March. If we end in a 4 way tie we are the 4 seed looking at Rutgers then Purdue. Probably controversial, but maybe we want Wisconsin to beat Purdue so we would stay away from Purdue until the final game (which is a meaningless game)?

I want Trent and Da'Monte to have a Big Ten Title. I think they deserve it, so I'm cheering for Purdue in their game with Wisconsin

If those two halves don't show you how versatile this team is/can be......I have nothing left for you.

Okay...I have some .gif's for you. But Dan would delete those.
Awesome gif on my garage jump....it looked like the actual jump except....baby garage! Just kidding pretty close.

I got my masters at Purdue but it is not easy as I really want to play for March. If Wisconsin wins it we are on the side with tOSU and Wisconsin gets Purdue. That just maybe way easier?

As BU said last year Bring It! I want at least a share.

I care less about the BTT Title. We got that last year. I'd like to see us do well, but I'd also be okay if we bowed out early and got to rest our legs for the NCAA tourney.

Great finish despite folding a bit with the help of the zebras. Would be nice to see them more aggressive with a lead --hope they work on that.
Not directed at you, but anyone who complains about our finish today should consider what Ohio State thought about their team's finish the other night. It is a W with a wire to wire lead.
Michigan played well today, but we played better.

Don't like how we once again let off the gas and let a team stay in it with bad FT shooting. But a couple things I really liked..

We kicked their @$$ in the first half on the perimeter. The we kicked their @$$ in the second half by running offense and working it inside. We are just so hard to beat when we can do that.

When we started to go on our obligatory drought early in the second half, they put Belo in and he went straight to the basket and got an easy layup. Thought that was huge.

Huge win. 2 more to go.
You're exactly right ... Underwood COMPLETELY out-coached the wonderful coach M. from St. Joe's ... Played one style the first half; a completely different one the second! I - L - L ...

This is what it looks like if Wisconsin wins

BU on the radio interview....................

they gave us problems on the D end
Plummer's first half was one of the best of any player he's coached
Cohawk with great d
held Huntie to 4-13
we did what we needed to do
we had 71 % shooting in second half
feel good game for us
ball screen offense was our best in a while
Belo with great D
200 th win for BU in his career....he said he didn't know that
Trent's last 3 pter was Ayo-like

Didn't want to post this until the outcome was decided, but my goodness does the Michigan crowd/fanbase suck. That atmosphere was about the one we'd see at SFC....for our women's games. NO comparison to today when Michigan was making a run in the final five minutes vs. Illinois making a run in the final five minutes Thursday.
they are on spring break
