Matthews' return was huge last night, especially defensively and for depth. I figured Iowa couldn't possibly have a second great game in a row either. Michigan still played Brooks more than expected, but at least he hit a 3 and did well on defense, and presumably it was to prevent Simpson and Poole from getting tired today and hypothetically tomorrow.

Simpson's hook shot in front of the rim (as opposed to from the side) was his most impressive yet, along with 2 3s and getting a double-double.

I like Michigan's chances today, considering they've beaten Minnesota both times this year, and convincingly in Minneapolis, and then it's looking like we'd get another rematch with Sparty tomorrow....

The Badgers were down by 17. They are now down by 8 at the half, FYI.

How many bunnies can Happ miss today? UW would be up right now if he makes these things. Same goes for Reuvers. Any time you want to make one, have at it.

Sickening to watch this. Both teams suck right now, but UW is winning the suck.

Five years ago today I watched MSU/UW go to OT in the B1GCG in the United Center. I visited with Marcel/@nuwildcat earlier that weekend.

I'm glad you get to keep that memory.

UW missed 11 layups and was at like 56 percent on them before deep garbage time. UW was 2-19 on 3s, something like 2-17 before deep garbage time. 

Can't win that way.

Only a parent could look at that game and be proud.







Maybe.

I'm curious how often M has held its opponent to under-20 in the first half this season.

If it's true and Michigan has finally found a classic Beilein 3-Pt rhythm to pair with the Big Ten's best defense, they'll absolutely bludgeon teams. This is not a team we've seen. Again ... if it's true. And Iowa and Minnesota are maybe not the best test cases.

Another dominant win. This is the best they've played since the North Carolina, Villanova, and Purdue games. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I think they'll be ready. It was nice to get the starters out early today.

In more serious news, there's an active shooter reported in Ann Arbor right now. Hopefully nothing happens.... Update - Apparently it was a false alarm thankfully.
