yeah they suck thats whyt hey are in the final four still playing and michigan is at home with you loser watching duke in the final four haha,duke has also won more games 195 than any team for the entire decade that just ended that doesnt suck you are just a loser.
I miss Merritt's leadership this year. Him, Lee, Grady, Shepard etc weren't the best players, but they definitely added something important to the team, otherwise how could we be doing this much worse this year?
I was in the music hall practicing when the game was over. The pep band came in screaming and hollering until the music professor looked over and glared at them...at that point they ran and scattered. It was funny and awesome. And performing there the next day was great.

I am not an athlete representing my school. It is not my job to play better than they do.
I've always loved the argument that if you cannot do better than someone else, you cannot criticize them. In other words, I can't criticize the president, the medical industry, or various other people who are paid a great amount of money to do what they do (NCAA athletes are paid in the form of a scholarship).
In further other words, you are an idiot and Michigan basketball sucks balls.
how do they suck? they beat you guys.. and oh yea... you were a top five team! we made it to the second round of the tourney.... thats pretty good. and in that game, we could criticize Duke. Because we did better. Middle Tennessee basketball sucks. Michigan doesnt.
No, they did not beat my team. They did not even play my team this year.
I understand it's a natural reaction for people to assume that any criticism leveled at their program must be from a rival or team they've beaten, but fact of the matter is that Michigan ran the most notoriously dirty program in the history of NCAA basketball, and most people dislike them STILL for that.
When a lie is repeated enough times, it takes on an appearance of fact. Such is the case with the University of Michigan and its alleged academic standards, which are like the emperor's new clothes -- woefully nonexistent. Just look at the Harbaugh/general studies fiasco and academic progress numbers that are dipping every year for the athletic department.

For the record, I graduated from Northwestern three years ago wtih honors. Naturally, you haven't addressed the falsehood of the scUM football team's GPA being allegedly the highest ever. What a joke.
don't listen to this guy man, he's obviously an idiot. and he prolly didnt even graduate from NW, just tryin to make himself sound superior when we all know tht UM is a far better University. GO BLUE
First of all<Michigan is a far better school than Northwestern will ever be. and as far as NW's atheletics go, its an absolute joke. their football team is horrible year in and year out and very inconsistant. basketball is nonexistent. and they've never done anything in baseball or hockey. So for a Wildcat to insult a far superior university is just absurd. dont insult it just because the school as far as im concerned, Nw isn't prestigeous enough to even be considered a Big Ten school douche. GB
u obviously have no clue what your talking about, bc its amazing to me tht the U of M isnt considered an Ivy League school as far as their medical facility goes. and for you to say tht NW has higher academic standards? thts bull bc u dont need $33,000 to go there
So you're making the argument that Michigan is "a dirty program" when they made mistakes that they've more than paid their dues for, yet USC, OSU, and Memphis break the rules on an almost yearly basis in college athletics. Just because it's ignored doesn't mean it's not true. The NCAA would never impose sanctions on those institutions, because they're their darlings, and everyone knows it.
@WithExtremePrejudice remember though, without them, you would still be wearing shorts halfway down their thighs and socks up to your knees playing basketball.
great season for michigan. we made it to the tournament, even though we didnt even make it to the sweet 16, we still made it to the torney, and that made me happy.
and michigan basketball program is back on track...with the wins we got last year, over duke, over ucla...and with super man Manny Harris next year Michigan will go much further in tournee...
atleast i got to see OSU loose another primetime game but wont match that amazing lost OSU had in the Fiesta bowl...was priceless to see the faces of those buckeyes they actuallly thought they had won a bcs game
Michigan is a young team under a new coach,,,yes lost to Ill was bad in big ten but we can beat clemson and i think OU is beatable too....who knows why couldnt Michigan be the George Mason of this year who and final four is in our backyard
yeah we kicked som ass. Unlike some of those other teams who was one n done. Didnt even get pass the first round. no next year we have are work cut out for us. Teams are coming playing us thinking we are some building team anymore. They are bringing it. So we better bring it.
It also doesn't help when the other team shoots prayers like wisconsin and every other team has, and they make them! Wisconsin made pretty much every shot they put up in the first half, and got to the basket on basically every drive, if we can't beat wisconsin, we're goin to have a losing record. It was a fun ride, but we're comin back to planet Earth again. We're just that young team that is 1 year away from glory.
Go Blue, "if we can't beat Wisconsin, we're going to have a losing record" What the hell are you talking about? Whisky won the Big Ten outright last year and went to the Sweet 16 with almost the same players as they have this year, plus an underrated coach. You must have started drinkin early. You can take that however you want. The
Big Ten season just got started, don't hit the panic button.
its never too early to drink. Sorry, its the holidays. If you want a drink, by all means have one for me too. I spent my christmas drinking begging my girlfriend to go out, instead she wouldnt so i spent my time youtubing things like toe jam and earl.
Okay, this ironic comnig from me to you, but goblue918, you need to calm down. Michigan has already matched their win total from last season. That should be enough proof that Belien has us gonig in the right direction. And furthermore, consdier this: despite the fact we got killed on the boards, despite the fact Wisky put up everythnit they made (out shot us 59% to like 38%), and despite the fact Manny harris was held to 9 points, we still only lost by 11 points.
meh. Okay. I, for one,w asn't the least bit shocked. The Big ten is one of the top 3 or 4 conferences in college basketball. look at all the really good teams we have: Wisky, Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, and now Michigan. Penn State and Iowa are at least NIT, and expect Indiana to soon rise again once Crean gets them going. This is not an easy conference at all. It'll be a grind from now until March. But I think we'll perservere and at elast make the NIT
we probably are a year away from the NCAA tournament, but dude, we have a winning record and an NIT berth virtually locked up. We will not ahve a losing record. Don't overreact to one damn loss against the Badgers (and remember, Wisky is ALWAYS good) in which they only won because they hit evetythnig they threw up (lucky bastards!). And the win over NC central? Please. Who can get up for that game? We won by 20, and Manny harris was a beast. Thatw as a really good win!
Fuck yes!! A 10 point win over an illinois team that was supposed to be a bad match for us!!!!!!! Everybody from Sims to Novak to Harris to Grady to Gibson played really well. oh, and how about Laval lucas perry? Starts at shooting guard and hits 3-7 thrree pointers, gets 13 points, and has 5 assists. Michigan basketball is donig so damn well right now. That loss to Wisky is in the PAST.
So we did win?!!!! Good, I've been doin nothin but hurlin lately, I haven't known anything about the playoffs in the NFL or Michigan basketball. I just know about William Campbell and the other guys in all of the all-star games this weekend.
I'm hoping for an NCAA tourney birth as well. But i'll seettle for an NIT berth in light of last seasons debacle. I expected 2009 to be another growing year for the Wolverines, and I expected us to finish 2 or 3 games under .500. But obviously, Michigan is ahead of the learning curve. I didn't expect a winning season much less for us to challenge for a spot in the Big Dance, so if Michigan finishes with a winning record, i'll consider this season a success
I know dude. We've been doing so much better then pretty much anybody expected. Its not even mid January and we are already have 3 more wins then all of last season. Its been just a terrific season so far, and today we picked up yet another great win: a BLOWOUT win over an 11-5 Iowa in which Manny harris was beastly again and in which Michigan just came out with so much fire and intensity. I wonder what Brian Cook thinks of Michigan basketball now? The bitch is proably still doubting! Go blue!
People can say we only beat savvanah state by 2, but we also have beaten 2 top 5 teams! I see a lot of other top 25 teams struggling with cupcake teams too, so don't give me that savvanah state bull shit! Our 2 losses are to duke and to maaryland on the road by 5, which maryland crushed michigan state, which michigan state beat texas on the road yesterday! I say on the road cause it was in Houston texas, even though it was supposed to be neutral court.
The Savannah state bitching really pisses me off. Okay, so what that we almost lost to them? That game showed how great this teams character is. Down 20 at halftime, we batle all the way abck and force overtime (should of won it in regulation, but unfortunately Novak made a freshmen mistake), and in OT, DeShawn Sims hits an incredible game winning shot. That was such a memorable game. if you're a Michigan fan, you can't possibly bitch about that win, especially in light of last season
and besdies, EVERY good team gets themselves in a barn burner with teams far inferior to them, and sometimes they even lose those games. Case in point: an unranked, non Big dance team in Ohio State stunned the undefeated, No.1 ranked Illini. But the illini still made it all the way to the championship game. So just ebcause we almost lost to Savannah state quite honestly doesn't eman shit. Those games happen, and more importantly, WE WON!!! and like you said, we ahve beaten two top 5 teams!!
Oh definitely, and Michigan is a dangerous team, a teram like Michigan who can shoot the three is incredibly dangerous in the Big Dance, like WVU when they had Belein, they made it all the way to the Elite Eight, and had a 20 point lead over Louisville, but blew it. Michigan basketball is givin me and everybody else somethin to talk about!
Holy shit. DeShawn Sims for president! 20 points and 20 rebounds? Amazing! oh, and LLP was good yet again: he had 10 points and 2 steals and looks like a natural in beliens offense. Like you said: Michigan basketball is giving us somethnig great to talk about.
Hell ya! I didn't get a chanceto watch the game, but I read an article, and apparently we went on Christmas vacation early. It's still a win, we have depth, a great coach, we're ranked for the first time since 2006, and we only won 10 games last year, we already have 9 this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a turnaround!!!!!!!!!!!
well, we are now 10-2, and we've got Wisky tonight. The Big ten sseason has arrived. Now we will jnow what this 2009 Michigan basketball team is made of. Goooooo Blue!
Ya, the thing that scares me about our basketball team is our interior defense, and the rebounding! It was so frustrating watching us beat NC Central on Monday, a team who was 0-14, (now 0-15) they were getting beat by an average of 37 POINTS! And cause like you said on a different video, Michigan gets cocky, and don't take teams like them seriously. That won't happen in the Big10, but the rebounding thing has to be fixed, or we're goin to get killed.
i watched the whole game of duke and they could have blew duke out the water. Their rebounding sucked. So they do have some work to do there. i think they would do they undefeated with they had better defense and rebounding.
Well, that's the reason why we got killed by wisconsin today! We can't shoot the fuckin ball anymore, we rebound like a 4th graders, and our interior defense sucks more dick than a $20 whore! That's why I'm scared playin in the Big10 with John Belein type of team. He's a great coach, just not for the Big10, it's all about defense and rebounding in the Big10, and he doesn't encourage rebounding nearly as much as shooting, in which, we seem to have lost the shooting touch to as of late.
We will make the NCAA tournament this year. Michigan is too good and has too much talent to make just the NIT. Expect Michigan to make the NCAA tournament and get to the sweet sixteen.
Michigan is goin to be so much better when Lavel-Lucas Perry debuts next week against oakland. It's good to see Michigan basketball have somethin to talk about!
Im surprised they could be better then they already are! They are great right now and if your saying they'll be even better with this guy's debut then I can't imagine what they could do! Go Blue!
Lucas Perry is supposed to provide stability to the PG position. He's supposed to be better then Jerrett Smith and Kelvin grady but not as good as Danile Horton. i'm not sure if Lucas perry will come in there and tear it up, but look for him to be our starting PG for most of the season. And IF Lucas perry ends up being the enxt Rumeal Robinson like Tim McCormick predicts him to be, then Michigan will make a push for the final 4 this season
I hear ya. And I only said we'd be a serious threat in the NCAA tournament IF IF IF Mccormick is right and Lucas Perry is the enxt Rumeal Robinson (only the greatest PG in Wolverines history). But Lucas Perry is not the enxt robinson. He'll be a servicable PG. But even with his arrival, I do not think Michigan is a lock at all for the NCAA tournament much less a deep run. I think we can at elast expect a winning season and an NIT berth, but lets hold our breath on everything else
final four is a rediculous prediction to make. LLP is only one player that hasn't even played yet and we have no idea what he can really bring to this team.
There's no way that LLP comes in and takes Grady's spot. LLP is a 2 guard. IMO he'll be on the wing
You missed this part: I only said we'd be a serious threat in the NCAA tournament IF IF IF Mccormick is right and Lucas Perry is the enxt Rumeal Robinson (only the greatest PG in Wolverines history). But Lucas Perry is not the enxt robinson. He'll be a servicable PG. But even with his arrival, I do not think Michigan is a lock at all for the NCAA tournament much less a deep run. I think we can at elast expect a winning season and an NIT berth, but lets hold our breath on everything else
"There's no way that LLP comes in and takes Grady's spot. LLP is a 2 guard. IMO he'll be on the wing"
we'll see what happens. Lucas perry was recruited as a PG and is still listed as a PG, but he can play shooting guard as well depending on where Michigan needs him. It'll be even more exciting next season when darius Morris arrives on campus
Indeed. That was his first action in over a year. and he played quite well. Lucas perry is obviously a fine scorer. Whether is a good passer remains to be seen. I liked what i saw yesterday
"Expect Michigan to make the NCAA tournament and get to the sweet sixteen."
Final Four? Gonna be hard to get there with only 1 servicable post player. Let's just hope they can play well during the Big Ten season and make the tournament. Remember, we only beat Savanah St. by 2 at home.
People, i only said we'd be a final 4 squad IF McCormick is right and perry is the enxt Rumeal Robinson. But lets be real: Perry is NOT Rumeal Robinson. he's not even Daniel Horton. He's s ervicable PG, but Michigan is no lock for the NCAA tournament. Christ almighty, read what i say!
Also, we may have only beaten Savannah State by 2 points, but then again, we DID make a spectacular 20 point comeback to beat them capped off by deShawn Sims overtime buzzer beater
Kelvin Grady is really maturing so well as a PG this season. When Laval lucas perry arrives in 4 days, him and grady will form a terrific 1-2 punch at PG
Ya how is dayton of all teams ahead of Michigan in the votings?! I didn't see them beat 2 top 5 teams! Ya we have 2 losses, one against duke on a neutral court, and one against Maryland on the road by 5, which Maryland crushed michigan state! So the 2 losses aren't even that bad! I think it might be because we struggled against savvanah state. Oh well.
yeah sparty is wack! michigan is playing ruff and raw again like back in Fab 5 days! the best days of college basketball were Fab 5! don't hate love it! go blue, puke duke sucks. manny harris is a baller!
I LOVED the Fab 5. Still do. They're what got me into basketball when I was a kid. I don't care what people think of them, and I don't care if their records have been erased. They can't erase them from my memory! Michigan should bring in Jalen as an assistant coach. I know he'd be a great recruiter. Go Blue!!
Hell Yea. I met Michigan's entire b ball team 2 weeks ago. I told each 1 of em, can u plz beat Duke I can't stand em! And they did! I'm a Carolina then Michigan fan, so this was sweet 4 both. Duke, biggest chokers in college b ball 4 the past 4 years, and this proves y
ive been a mich basketball fan for the past few years and there has not been much to cheer about. not this year...in 8 games they have two wins over top 5 teams. i love it. thank you wolverines!
If there were any doubts that Michigan doesn't ahve talent, they were laid to rest today. Yeah, Michigan went 10-22 last season, but when your a moribund program like Michigan and 8 of your 12 players on the roster are either freshmen or sophomores, not to mention when you are in a tough conference like the big ten, a 10-22 season isn't surprisng. But now Michigan has lots of experience, and their high level of talent is showing
And oh yeah, John belien knows how to coach. He's done a great job at both installnig his sytem while also adjustuing his schemes in ways that allow Manny harris and DeShawn Sims (guys who aren't "his players") to be dominant. Sims is an absolute beast now low. All American anyone? Belien is proving yet again what a fantastic head coach he is. The future of Michigan basketball is indded bright, whether or not we go dancing this season

First of all<Michigan is a far better school than Northwestern will ever be. and as far as NW's atheletics go, its an absolute joke. their football team is horrible year in and year out and very inconsistant. basketball is nonexistent. and they've never done anything in baseball or hockey. So for a Wildcat to insult a far superior university is just absurd. dont insult it just because the school as far as im concerned, Nw isn't prestigeous enough to even be considered a Big Ten school douche.

Northwestern has much higher academic standards than Michigan. People don't go to Northwestern to play football, they go there to get an education.

u obviously have no clue what your talking about, bc its amazing to me tht the U of M isnt considered an Ivy League school as far as their medical facility goes. and for you to say tht NW has higher academic standards? thts bull bc u dont need $33,000 to go there

You're not Duke? Sorry, but how did they run the dirtiest program? And a lot of people dont dislike Michigan.
Picdas 2 years ago
So you're making the argument that Michigan is "a dirty program" when they made mistakes that they've more than paid their dues for, yet USC, OSU, and Memphis break the rules on an almost yearly basis in college athletics. Just because it's ignored doesn't mean it's not true. The NCAA would never impose sanctions on those institutions, because they're their darlings, and everyone knows it.

It also doesn't help when the other team shoots prayers like wisconsin and every other team has, and they make them! Wisconsin made pretty much every shot they put up in the first half, and got to the basket on basically every drive, if we can't beat wisconsin, we're goin to have a losing record. It was a fun ride, but we're comin back to planet Earth again. We're just that young team that is 1 year away from glory.

DCProductions77 3 years ago
Okay, this ironic comnig from me to you, but goblue918, you need to calm down. Michigan has already matched their win total from last season. That should be enough proof that Belien has us gonig in the right direction. And furthermore, consdier this: despite the fact we got killed on the boards, despite the fact Wisky put up everythnit they made (out shot us 59% to like 38%), and despite the fact Manny harris was held to 9 points, we still only lost by 11 points.

Go Blue!
goblue918 3 years ago
meh. Okay. I, for one,w asn't the least bit shocked. The Big ten is one of the top 3 or 4 conferences in college basketball. look at all the really good teams we have: Wisky, Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, and now Michigan. Penn State and Iowa are at least NIT, and expect Indiana to soon rise again once Crean gets them going. This is not an easy conference at all. It'll be a grind from now until March. But I think we'll perservere and at elast make the NIT
Go Blue!
Poole1Dan 3 years ago
we probably are a year away from the NCAA tournament, but dude, we have a winning record and an NIT berth virtually locked up. We will not ahve a losing record. Don't overreact to one damn loss against the Badgers (and remember, Wisky is ALWAYS good) in which they only won because they hit evetythnig they threw up (lucky bastards!). And the win over NC central? Please. Who can get up for that game? We won by 20, and Manny harris was a beast. Thatw as a really good win!

Starts at shooting guard and hits 3-7 thrree pointers, gets 13 points, and has 5 assists. Michigan basketball is donig so damn well right now. That loss to Wisky is in the PAST.

I'm hoping for an NCAA tourney birth as well. But i'll seettle for an NIT berth in light of last seasons debacle. I expected 2009 to be another growing year for the Wolverines, and I expected us to finish 2 or 3 games under .500. But obviously, Michigan is ahead of the learning curve. I didn't expect a winning season much less for us to challenge for a spot in the Big Dance, so if Michigan finishes with a winning record, i'll consider this season a success

Our 2 losses are to duke and to maaryland on the road by 5, which maryland crushed michigan state, which michigan state beat texas on the road yesterday! I say on the road cause it was in Houston texas, even though it was supposed to be neutral court.
Go Blue!
goblue918 3 years ago
The Savannah state bitching really pisses me off. Okay, so what that we almost lost to them? That game showed how great this teams character is. Down 20 at halftime, we batle all the way abck and force overtime (should of won it in regulation, but unfortunately Novak made a freshmen mistake), and in OT, DeShawn Sims hits an incredible game winning shot. That was such a memorable game. if you're a Michigan fan, you can't possibly bitch about that win, especially in light of last season
Poole1Dan 3 years ago
and besdies, EVERY good team gets themselves in a barn burner with teams far inferior to them, and sometimes they even lose those games. Case in point: an unranked, non Big dance team in Ohio State stunned the undefeated, No.1 ranked Illini. But the illini still made it all the way to the championship game. So just ebcause we almost lost to Savannah state quite honestly doesn't eman shit. Those games happen, and more importantly, WE WON!!! and like you said, we ahve beaten two top 5 teams!!
Poole1Dan 3 years ago
Oh definitely, and Michigan is a dangerous team, a teram like Michigan who can shoot the three is incredibly dangerous in the Big Dance, like WVU when they had Belein, they made it all the way to the Elite Eight, and had a 20 point lead over Louisville, but blew it. Michigan basketball is givin me and everybody else somethin to talk about!
Go Blue!
goblue918 3 years ago
Holy shit. DeShawn Sims for president! 20 points and 20 rebounds? Amazing! oh, and LLP was good yet again: he had 10 points and 2 steals and looks like a natural in beliens offense. Like you said: Michigan basketball is giving us somethnig great to talk about.

Poole1Dan 3 years ago
Hell ya! I didn't get a chanceto watch the game, but I read an article, and apparently we went on Christmas vacation early.

What a turnaround!!!!!!!!!!!

Poole1Dan 3 years ago
Ya, the thing that scares me about our basketball team is our interior defense, and the rebounding! It was so frustrating watching us beat NC Central on Monday, a team who was 0-14, (now 0-15) they were getting beat by an average of 37 POINTS! And cause like you said on a different video, Michigan gets cocky, and don't take teams like them seriously. That won't happen in the Big10, but the rebounding thing has to be fixed, or we're goin to get killed.
Go Blue!
goblue918 3 years ago
i watched the whole game of duke and they could have blew duke out the water. Their rebounding sucked. So they do have some work to do there. i think they would do they undefeated with they had better defense and rebounding.
DCProductions77 3 years ago
Well, that's the reason why we got killed by wisconsin today! We can't shoot the fuckin ball anymore, we rebound like a 4th graders, and our interior defense sucks more dick than a $20 whore! That's why I'm scared playin in the Big10 with John Belein type of team. He's a great coach, just not for the Big10, it's all about defense and rebounding in the Big10, and he doesn't encourage rebounding nearly as much as shooting, in which, we seem to have lost the shooting touch to as of late.

Lucas Perry is supposed to provide stability to the PG position. He's supposed to be better then Jerrett Smith and Kelvin grady but not as good as Danile Horton. i'm not sure if Lucas perry will come in there and tear it up, but look for him to be our starting PG for most of the season. And IF Lucas perry ends up being the enxt Rumeal Robinson like Tim McCormick predicts him to be, then Michigan will make a push for the final 4 this season
Goooo Blue!
Poole1Dan 3 years ago
it sounds good, but lets focus on making the top 25.
DCProductions77 3 years ago
I hear ya. And I only said we'd be a serious threat in the NCAA tournament IF IF IF Mccormick is right and Lucas Perry is the enxt Rumeal Robinson (only the greatest PG in Wolverines history). But Lucas Perry is not the enxt robinson. He'll be a servicable PG. But even with his arrival, I do not think Michigan is a lock at all for the NCAA tournament much less a deep run. I think we can at elast expect a winning season and an NIT berth, but lets hold our breath on everything else

final four is a rediculous prediction to make. LLP is only one player that hasn't even played yet and we have no idea what he can really bring to this team.
There's no way that LLP comes in and takes Grady's spot. LLP is a 2 guard. IMO he'll be on the wing

"There's no way that LLP comes in and takes Grady's spot. LLP is a 2 guard. IMO he'll be on the wing"
we'll see what happens. Lucas perry was recruited as a PG and is still listed as a PG, but he can play shooting guard as well depending on where Michigan needs him. It'll be even more exciting next season when darius Morris arrives on campus

People, i only said we'd be a final 4 squad IF McCormick is right and perry is the enxt Rumeal Robinson. But lets be real: Perry is NOT Rumeal Robinson. he's not even Daniel Horton. He's s ervicable PG, but Michigan is no lock for the NCAA tournament. Christ almighty, read what i say!
Also, we may have only beaten Savannah State by 2 points, but then again, we DID make a spectacular 20 point comeback to beat them capped off by deShawn Sims overtime buzzer beater

If there were any doubts that Michigan doesn't ahve talent, they were laid to rest today.

But now Michigan has lots of experience, and their high level of talent is showing
