This is probably the first time in a while (maybe the baby broilers vs. Gordon in 2008?) that both teams are ranked.

  Thank you.   Archie Miller is not the answer.  I would honestly rather extend Crean than fire him just to bring in Miller.

Unfortunately, I expected the game to go like this.   I would definitely describe myself as a pro-Crean guy, but I can't help but feel like we're not even going to be competitive when we play a good team on the road or on a neutral court.   There's no good reason to get drilled by a team we're every bit as talented as.

  Honestly I think you're playing up that angle too much and giving Yogi an excuse.   He's just playing like sh!t right now, it has nothing to do with an assistant coach he had in high school.

Add this to the list of games I've had to change the channel from this year.  I can't take the anger and stress anymore.   I can take losing, but I can't take getting bent over in front of a national audience like this.

Purdue gave up an 11-0 run to end the game they were more or less in control of throughout.   They choke more than any school EVER.

That'd be nice to give Purdue another loss next Saturday so they fall further down the B1G rankings.   I did not think Michigan would beat them, they have practically nothing down low.  Plus Levert didn't look too great, albeit his first game back in a while.

Wow that escalated quickly.  I don't know what could have set Calipari off that much so fast.

I think this game will cause me to be angry the rest of Sunday.  Glad it's not a Saturday afternoon game so it won't ruin the rest of my weekend.

Huge win for us to avoid a possible 3 game losing streak.   Huge for our resume, stay in the hunt for the B1G, and for confidence.

Well I'm all in for Tom Crean at Indiana, as it doesn't look like there's any way Brad Stevens will come here.  The Celtics are probably the hottest team in the NBA right now not named Golden State.

  They did lose to Notre Dame at home earlier in the year, just in case you forgot.  But that probably cuts into your narrative a little.

  Kind of like we did against Michigan, Rutgers, Nebraska, and Minnesota?

  True but as you said, let this year play out.  Before the season started, did many people think we were going to win the B1G outright?   I thought there was a chance, but that we would contend throughout the season and finish top 3.  That's still obviously possible, and if we can beat Iowa, Maryland, Purdue, and MSU, then we'll be right there until the end.  Then the tournament just depends on matchups.   As you said, just let the year play out.

I wish I could accurately put into words how I feel when I see Troy dribbling at the top of the key looking like he's starting to believe in himself.

  Kyle Cox never coached Yogi, did he?  I thought he was only coached by Ed Schilling.

The 3,000 screaming fans must have been tough to overcome.   omg I'm so mad.  I hate playing Penn State, they always play us so tough.

I've never been this mad after a loss in a long time.   2 very questionable calls to end the game on Yogi and Thomas but it should never have been that close.   So frustrating after all that progress, momentum after Michigan.   Just have to hope we beat Iowa at home, because no way we're winning up at MSU.

f*** this game

1. It's going to be one of those games 2. Need to get something down low in the 2nd half 3. Turnovers need to be cut down drastically, or they will capitalize 4. Their students are really annoying, I had to mute the game there for a while because I just couldn't take hearing their student section

I'd say this all but eliminates Purdue from B1G contention.  Granted anything could still happen, but I seriously doubt the winner of the conference is going to have 4 or more losses this year.   I'm just glad that we still control our own destiny at this point and don't have to rely on anyone losing.

  And Missouri, who is currently sitting at 8-14 while two of their players just got arrested, including Jakeenan Gant.  Gant was a former IU target, and after reading up on him a little, THANK GOD we missed on him.

  Hahaha beat me to it.  Whipped open my laptop to come post here then head over to Rupp Rufters to watch the tears fall.    Great night.

Referees trying their best to keep Michigan in it.   They'll probably be in the double bonus by the under 12 timeout.

  Wow what a badass, playing on a team that's 12-9.   It's awfully tough to guard someone who is taking free throws.
