Comments on: On The Bubble http://www.umhoops.com/2009/01/26/bubble-notes/ An Unofficial University of Michigan Basketball Blog Fri, 19 Mar 2010 04:40:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: bf1118 http://www.umhoops.com/2009/01/26/bubble-notes/comment-page-2/#comment-21899 bf1118 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:21:04 +0000 http://www.umhoops.com/?p=1531#comment-21899 I have to agree that this team has to at least .500 in the Big ten to get into the tourney. However if they were to go say 7-9 but can pull a shocker over say a Ohio State and Purdue or a UConn by itself then they may still have a chance. Whats really helping them right now is that Duke is still sitting at one loss thanks to Michigan. If Duke somehow wins the ACC and is in position for a #1 seed in the tourney it will really help Michigan. Same can be said for UCLA. If they can win the Pac 10, it will look great for Michigan's resume. I have to agree that this team has to at least .500 in the Big ten to get into the tourney.

He wants guys that can fit in the system, and if they aren't the most highly recruited kids, he will take them anyways, just because he is a good teacher of the game. Beilein is getting the best he can get right now. It’s not like Beilein wants to take guys he HAS to coach up a ton.

The more effective player in the michigan offense is the one that fits his system. He will always need that one star player to help carry the tema in times of need ( manny) but its the system that wins us games dave

Kinda OT, but I just saw on ESPN that Illinois has beaten Minnesota 20 straight times. Anyone else find that hard to believe?

This upcoming stretch is our tourney to make the tourney and it should be an exciting ride. Think positively, because I'm one of those mystics who thinks we, as one conscious mind, can will the Wolverines into the dance. Use the force.
