I hope the hoops team gets back on track and beats tuos tonight. Everyone was getting excited at the start of the season with the big wins over UCLA and Duke but reality has set in and the Big 10 schedule has not been good to them. The win over the weekend was nice but a win tonight would really help. I may have to call home and have my son dvr the game and watch it later since I am still at work with little hope of getting out of here soon enough for gametime.

Say what you will -- this is a critical game. Win it and we continue to stay above water for an NCAA bid, lose it and we 'might' still make the tourney but it gets tougher and tougher as the B10 games slip away.

You guys are definitely going to the tourney - have faith!!!!



The NIT tourney of course but still, it's a tourney!!!

OSU by 18 tonight

Andy said...

Ouch. That cold water hurts.

We are an NIT DYNASTY

lol at that pic.

if all else fails...you guys can always brag about how you have won 1 more NIT title than we have :-)

(well, only if you count the vacated one)

We need this WIN! GO BLUE! Watching it at the Arena, for a bit, then traveling to another spot. ( I hope that I don't miss much in the transition!)

Andy said...

4-15 Bucks lead early.

We really do not play very well on the road.

Catie said...

We also have an aversion to dribbling past the 3 point line......*sigh*

Andy said...

Halftime. Bucks lead 36-18.

Pathetic.

Mikoyan said...

Speaking of pathetic....

Can someone explain this gesture? And why he only seems to make it when a Wolverine's back is turned to him?

nice elbow to Hill's face Novak

see ya!

ohio_guy said...

nice 18 point win Bucks

Matta and Tressel now 16-2 combined vs UM

Andy said...

Bucks win 72-14. We cut the lead to 9 at one point in the second half, but the 3 pointers stopped falling and Ohio State has too much inside and out.

Sru was right on with his 18 point win prediction. Can you share the Lotto numbers next big fella ?

Novak's elbow was stupid. He should have (and was) ejected. No excuse. Bad sportsmanship.

Andy said...

MIk:

He is covering his family jewels while he is setting a pick. Having someone run into you and that special area is not covered is not very much fun. It is a very common basketball move.

Andy said...

Have I told you how much I love the Matta and Tressel combined record versus Michigan schtick ?

Mikoyan said...

I guess I don't watch enough basketball because I think that is the first time I noticed someone doing that.

But thanks. Clears my mind.

srudoff said...

wow - right on the nose

amazing and lucky

Beilein is definitely a great coach but with these players it's just not going to happen. They need some big men and without any they will continue to suffer against well balanced teams. They look like a HS team in half the games I watch. I seriously do not know how they beat Duke.
