Don’t be shocked if they lose to Oregon, too.
Not a sure win. Oregon has been playing a lot better lately.
Ducks are in Evanston tomorrow. Tip-off at 1:00 PM on BTN.
Yeah no gimmes for this squad. Better get their sh1t together fast.
Have to win both next week and regain momentum. This game should not be close.
Basically down to a 6 man rotation with Stoj and Z being footnotes in the box score.
Somehow we always have an 8 man rotation only for it to magically go down to 6 in March.

Absolutely a must win. Need to come out with the same fire we did against IU after dropping two straight.

And its funny how before every season it's always "the deepest team we've ever had!"
Not worried about this game in terms of losing but what I do want to see is some urgency from us. We need to turn it up a few notches and blow this team. This team needs a blow out again. I don't want to see us scratching and clawing to win this game.
Need to steady the ship. Get some confidence and the good vibes back.
Just beat Wisconsin
If they lose this game, the wheels could really fall off for this team. Possibly a first round exit. That's why I said I really feel this needs to be a blow out or double digit win. Winning a close game is not going to be good for this team.
Like we should have done
Oregon is garbage. No amount of injury or ref "explanations" will excuse this team if we somehow lose to them. Should be an easy blowout win.

I'm not quite ready to close the book on this season yet (still think we have a punchers chance at a S16), but a loss here would definitely do it IMO.
These last two games need to be get right games before the conference tournament.

Completely agree. Tonight was really disappointing, but Michigan is far and away the best team we have played this year...and one of maybe three teams who are championship caliber this year. We needed a great performance tonight to win and simply did not get it. Time to move on and not let two losses become three.
Win these two Quad 3 games and try to get heads straight for tourney season. If we can get back to where we were in early first half UCLA, there is no reason to not think this team can at least compete for a deep second weekend trip in tourney. I am certainly less doom and gloom as some after nights like tonight.
Hopefully we can get a large enough lead to rest key players late in the game, especially Wagler.
