Nice. The kids should be back from the holidays, and Crisler should be rocking, even for Indiana.

[Mich Fan in Cbus]

[Mich Fan in Cbus]

Just found out that the game is at 630 not sure I can make it DAMM big ten network.. DAMM YOU......

[bigboyBlue]

You get me Mich97c....

[deltguy2]

Yeah I saw that to, I would have maybe gone to if it wasn't so early. From Dayton to Bloomington is close to 2 hours and by the time I get out of work and all that jazz, I'm not going to attempt it. That would be a cool place to watch Michigan beat Indiana by 30. Nothing like being at the Duke game in AA a few weeks ago however, wow was that special.

You get Indiana tickets?

[Mich Fan in Cbus]

You get Indiana tickets?

Yes company does. I don't get all the time but once and awhile i get them..

[bigboyBlue]

WTF is wrong with these guys? When your 3s don't fall, TRY SOMETHING ELSE!

[AlwaysBlue]

they really havent had a very good game since duke. they have these awful lapses. they make dumb mistakes.

on the road, it kills you.. even against a team that clearly is begging us to beat them down.

and why is stu douglass all of a sudden getting big minutes. hes not ready.

why, when gibson doesnt play very many minutes anyway, does the offense run THROUGH him on the wing. seriously?

that said, if a couple shots would go... things would change.. but.. they need to get some easy ones.

[bigboyBlue]

Man, recipe for disaster. I'd rather they start with some small scoring before trying to drain a 100 3's, that is how you fall behind in the beginning and keep playing catchup. As it is this Team is pretty average on Defense...

[AlwaysBlue]

yeah... our offense is... swing it around until you can see the rim.. then launch.

if nothing.. give it to someone to try and drive through 4 guys and turn it over.

[deltguy2]

Our guys are just not consistant enough yet to shoot 17 3's in one half of basketball! We have 0 post play and it is driving me crazy. Any team that has a half way decent big man that can play in the post is going to kill us. Zach Gibson just does not have the post play that we need him to be. Give it time yet though, this is still a work in progress.

I am sure we will be saying the same thing about the football team next season. They will look absolutely unstoppable at times and at other will look lost.

Totally. Also seems like the Big Ten is gonna be brutal in BBall this year, especially on the road. Damn, even Penn State took out Purdue yesterday!

[AlwaysBlue]

yeah, thats fine. but why do i need to see these f*ing pryor big-10 commercials every 9 minutes. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!

[hail2mich]

Looks like they finally woke up!

[deltguy2]

[Frank Rizzo]

Game over....Michigan wins....72 66

[BLEEDINGBLUE]

Wow it sounds like an unbelievable 2nd half. I will admit I wasn't a champion because I left my local watering after the first half. I thought we were dead. That and my wife wanted me home. Anyhow, it's another great win for UMBB however we need to stop falling behind early. Oh and thanks H2M for the live score updates!

[deltguy2]

Wow, what a great game! This team is really showing a lot if you ask me. Down by 20 with 18 min. left and make an unbeleiveable comeback. This is a sign of the times fella's...we play the worst game we have all year and still pull off a Big10 win on the road. Yes, I know that Indiana is probably the worst team in the Big10, but it shows a lot of quality signs when you can make a comeback like that. 2-1 in the Big10, c-you guys on Sunday at 11:30 when we take on the Hawkeyes at A2.

Hail to the Victors!

[The Michigan Man]

What an emotional roller coaster! From dead in the water to winning in OT?? Amazing!

Michigan beats Indiana at Bloomington for the 1st time in 14 years! Stunning...

Oh yeah, fire Beilein (remember, last year's team was the worst ever)...

[bighousemike84]

No doubt Beilein is coach of the year!

[Bossgobbler23]

No doubt Beilein is coach of the year!

He keeps this up it will be a no brainer. I am in Indianapolis right now. My 8 year old daughter was giving me play by play over the phone until they won. I wish I could've watched it. Did we block out better this game?

[bigboyBlue]

I was out and just saw the final score. Holy sh!t, they scored 48 points in the second half? Freaking awesome win!

Michigan BBall is like that friend you want to punch and hug at the same time. They always start games poorly, but pick it up tremendously on both ends of the floor in the second, and win. You can't argue with winning, but....aw forget it, that was awesome!

[number2]

It is at IN.. Got the company seats 10 rows from the floor.. should be great..

That mustve been sweet...what a game...at least the second half anyway

[Shane Falco]

What a great game for M. At halftime I was pissed and thought these are the games they need to start winning to get back to being a contender and they were getting blownout by IU.
After I gave my daughter a bath I went back in and turned it on and we were still down 20. Dryed her hair put her pajamas on went back in and we were only down 10. Watched the rest of the game and was very happy in the end.
Even if they would have lost by 2-3 these kids did not give up and that is a credit to Beilein.

[Mich Fan in Cbus]

WOW what great game 10 rows from the floor in assembly hall WOW what a great comeback.. glad I made the trip made it righrt at tip-off.. Thought we were dead at the half. but when we came out for the 2nd half the swagger was there. great game... ..

[Bleed Blue]

What an amazing game. At half time I almost found myself logging onto Hail Victors to BLAST the team however I kept cool and watched an amazing 2nd half of basketball.

I'm not sure the stats but 1st half Michigan couldn't hit a basket to save their life. 90% of there attempts were 3's tho. 2nd half we finally made the shots we couldn't hit in the 1st...really the level of play was about the same.

Michigan really needs to find a guy that can cut to the basket and or feed the big guy. I was ripping my hair out watching the game and the lack of anyone TRYING to penetrate the defense. I think they made it way to easy for Indiana to play defense without showing any sort of threats on offense.

Overall a good win for a young team. Feels good to be excited about UMBB once again!

[Todd]

Feels good to be excited about UMBB once again!

Amen!!!!!!!!!!

No.
It was a great game and a great win but M still had very poor defense at times. It doesnt help when youve got a team shooting from everywhere and draining them all but at times M fell apart defensively and it was adversely effected their ability to score

[BBA1994]

IMO this win was just as big as the wins against UCLA and Duke. When the selection committee is evaluating UM they will see "good wins" as in UCLA & Duke and they won't see a "bad loss" against Indiana.

[Bleed Blue]

I wouldn't really say Michigans D changed much thru the game, from what I saw. Now granted ONCE they knew they had a chance of coming back, they tightened up...but for most part it was all the same. 1st half...my lord they looked half speed to me? Perhaps pregame meal was heavy or something...:p

I think the factor that most helped us win in the 2nd half was; Indiana went cold and we started to finally rebound the ball. I guess rebounding is defensive, but I'm referring to the fact that our defense was still giving up the same shots...Indy just couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. 1st quarter they were shooting lights out.

Our Team D really didn't change, however we stopped giving them the 2 and 3attempt per trip down the court by finally rebounding the ball.

Again an awesome game to watch. This team has potential to do great things.

[Mich Fan in Cbus]

At the 6:00 min mark of the 2nd half IU lost thier legs.. they just plain ran out of gas.. The crowd stayed in it for the most part. But you could see that they were just plain worn out. the jump shots became set shots and they stopped going after loose balls.. Novac (sp) reminds me of Chris Jent as in he is all over the floor throwing his body around without reguard.. atleast last night he did..

I've read that in a few places. Do you think the BBall team is getting Barwis-ized too :)?

Not sure about that but Manny had fresh legs with 3 min left when he came from nowhere to block a shot aginist the backboard.. it was AWESOME BABY!!!

just a question thou... is it me or does Manny have twig legs. I mean they are tiny.. they look like toothpicks.. don't get me wrong he is fast and a fluid player. I just found it amazing that someone's legs could be THAT skinny and still have that much up's..
