As if this nightmare could have ended with any more of a painful conclusion. The basketball season is over. Sigh.INDIANAPOLIS -- Evan Turner drained a 37-footer at the buzzer to give Ohio State (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 5 AP) a 69-68 win over Michigan on Friday in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.
Turner took the inbounds pass, dribbled upcourt and pulled up barely past halfcourt. The Big Ten player of the year left his arm in the air after the release, confident the long shot would fall.
His attempt was so close to the buzzer that the play was reviewed. When officials signaled the shot was good, the red-clad section of the crowd erupted.
Turner finished with 18 points and eight assists for the Buckeyes (25-7), who advanced to play the winner between Illinois and Wisconsin (No. 18 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP).
Michigan's Manny Harris hit a jumper from 11 feet with 2.2 seconds left to give Michigan a 68-66 lead. Harris led the Wolverines (15-17) with 26 points.
MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP!!!
The nightmare that is the 2009-2010 sports calendar marches on. I honestly believe in my heart that eventually we won't stink in every sport that anyone cares about. This faith keeps me going. But for now, it really fucking sucks.
We will try again with Ice Hockey against Sparty this weekend. I am not confident in anything other than pain is inevitable. Until then I will watch this on a continous loop.

sounds like the end of Eastern's season too. I was listening to the Eastern game yesterday. Eastern scores a 3 pointer with 6 seconds to go in the 1st Overtime and then Akron turns around to tie it with 1 second left. In the 2nd Overtime, Akron just bent Eastern over and took them too town. Oh well...I have more optimism for Eastern's season next year because they have a young team.
Michigan hockey beat MSU last night.
I'm very glad I turned this game off when M was down 13 in the second half. I was already getting super pissed off and if I'd had stayed and watched that shot go in something would have gone through my giant picture window. Possibly myself.
Hey!
We ROCK at synchronized figure skating.
Buck up people!
Note to anyone in need of a good dose of irony: Steve Fisher is in the Dance (again) this year.
Now is the winter of our discontent. Made glorious summer by Red's back to back victories in E. Lansing...
