I’m usually an optimist, but I’m dreading this one. A win should frankly be expected … a loss is just cause for full meltdown mode.
I think we just proved we still have some of last years mojo hanging around...that was bad.
Win the next two. Hope the guys learned a lesson about “just showing up” today. Michigan and Rutgers can do what Maryland did to us today if this is the effort we’re going to give on defense and rebounding. Have to be ready to play every game in this league.

Let's just keep our streak going vs Juwan. That's all I care about.
EZ win, we own Juwan
Yep one relatively bad loss does not a season make.
MD just has our number, remember that tied game where they called a foul on us with only a couple seconds left and they walked it to the other end and let them win it with a FT? I sure do.

The Michigan basketball program is currently a model train wreck inside a real train wreck on the movie set of a film about train wrecks that occur near dumpster fires...
We should clobber the Wolverines here, there - or in Juwan Howard's driveway, with Jett & Jace refereeing.

Going to be tough. Road game, and their PG is very similar to Young in the pick and roll game. They better figure out how to guard that better than they did today, and fast.
Wow. I guess it takes all kinds to make a message board.

I can almost guarantee the person you replied to did not mean it in the way that you interpreted it.
Michigan hosts Ohio State tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM on FOX.
16 wins is the magic number for a B1G title IMO. Right now Torvik has Purdue projected for 16 wins, Wisconsin for 15, and us at 13. Realistically need to win the next 6 to make up for that loss....@Mich, Rutgers, @NW, IU, @tOSU, and Neb.
6-0...right back into the title conversation.
5-1...gets us close but would need a big win in @MSU or @Wisconsin.
4-2....not good enough and means needing to go undefeated the rest of the year. Which isn't impossible, especially if we get TSJ back, but very unlikely.

6-0 is not impossible, but without TSjr., I cannot see that happening. NW, @OSU. and @Neb. is a gauntlet of tests against teams that are pretty much equal. And in this league, Mich, Rutgers, and IU can expect to have a game at the zenith of their capability....which may or may not have happened yet.
But it is not impossible and winning them all is always the goal. Time to see what this team has in the tank on this long grind.
Those 3 scenarios. Nope. I’ll be happy if they go 3-3. Being realistic after Maryland.
Yeah I’m a little worried about that game. We could lose if we play like we did against Maryland.
Yep they got a little guard who will no doubt give us fits.
