The NCAA Tournament is loco. My blood is now officially at boiling room temperature for the next weeks. Michigan started a little slow, but Big Ten Player of the Year Nik Stauskas made our first two shots, both 3’s, to keep it even early. The Wolverines honestly played great except for surrendering offensive rebounds. We […]

Michigan Advances
Wofford, you barked but didn’t bite. You fouled the sh out of us, but our coach kept us calm. Great defense by the Blue allowing 20 points in each half. Stay grounded, G’s.
Wofford: A Place in My Heart
December 2, 2006 Michigan defeated Wofford on a Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor. It might have been my best memory of attending a Wolverine basketball game in college. My buddies and I were nicely intoxicated, and my buddy wore a “FUCK WOFFORD” T-Shirt. The police stopped him in the Crisler bathroom and politely told him […]
#2 Seed
Lost Trey Burke, Naismith Player of the Year. Lost Tim Hardaway Jr., Junior & First Round NBA Pick. Lost Mitch McGary, pre-season All-American to back surgey. Improved seed from #4 in ’13 to #2. Won Big Ten. Not bad, Michigan.
Michigan Advances to Big Ten Tournament Final
Great job. It’s Michigan vs. Michigan State for the whole thing, then off to Selectionville. Way to keep IT IN STATE.
Michigan Squeaks Out Illinois from Big Ten Tournament
The only senior on the Michigan Wolverines, Jordan Morgan, hit the game-winner with under 15 seconds left. Michigan won by one, setting up the semifinal with Ohio State.
Michigan Defeats Indiana to Close Conference Play
This Indiana team snarfed us in Indiana earlier this season, so this was a chance to make it right. Congratulations to senior Jordan Morgan on “Senior Night.” Great career out of Detroit, Michigan. Indiana jumped out early behind some Crane-bull shit. Tom Crane is a whiny Dwight-looking snarf, though, and our coach caught up in […]
Michigan Wolverines Are Big Ten Champs!
Congratulations, you earned it. Those road wins in the Big Ten weren’t easy, nor were any games in the best conference on earth.
Michigan Tops Minnesota
Damn, them Gophers dug deep. They are on the bubble and they played like it, coming within two at Crisler before Michigan pulled away for good.
Michigan Beats the Buzzer
I picked this game up down six, three minutes to play. TIME TO GO TO WORK. Michigan got two steals and closed the game tied, forcing OT. Purdue led at home by one and headed to the free throw line, where they were perfect. The guy shooting was 85% – I told him (with under ten […]
Michigan Survives Spartans in Ann Arbor
The Spartans stormed ahead early behind a flurry of 3’s, but Michigan stayed in it and hit a triple of their own to bring it within two at halftime. We came out bustin’ in the second half, and our coach really corralled the referees away from Izzo’s corner. I have loved MSU my whole life, and […]
Michigan Storms Through Columbus
Michigan 70, Ohio State 60 F. The Buckeyes led early, going up by double-digits, but couldn’t push the lead any further. Michigan battled back to close the half down four. Again, the Buckeyes stormed out. Michigan sustained much earlier this time, though, keeping it close until they could take the lead with just over 10 […]

Michigan Takes 1st Big Ten Loss
And that’s what happens on the road in Indiana sometimes.
Michigan Holds Off Purdue
It was a battle as usual in the Big Ten. Michigan luckily was at home and shooting well. The Wolverines held an early 16-6 edge, but Purdue took the lead back at 19-18. Derrick Walton Jr. drove and scored as the clock expired on the first half, putting U of M up 37-29. Purdue hadn’t […]
Michigan Snarfs One in East Lansing
Michigan started hot, leading 10-2 out of the gate. Then, hack-a-Wolverine started. Blame MSU, sure, but WTF, refs? Can’t blow the whistle? I have never been so worked up by a sporting event ever, and I freak out on the regular. They were all over us. Everywhere you moved, foul. That is not basketball. That is the […]
Michigan Defends Home Court Vs. Iowa
Nik Stauskus helped close out another win for Michigan. This one came at home against ranked Iowa, who suffered their second loss of the Big Ten season. Michigan used a raucous home crowd to provide some cushion – but before anyone gets comfortable, it’s Michigan State on Saturday.
Michigan Knocks Down #3 Wisconsin
We are better than them. Plain and simple. Michigan took the lead early and held onto it through a furious Wisconsin run. Michigan looked stronger, better defensively, and more athletic. It is the first win in Wisconsin since ’99 for the Wolverines. With a one-point lead, Nik Stauskas hit the shot of the night, a […]
