Just a side note, but did anyone else notice that Colton Iverson didn’t play today? Or if he did, it was very little. Not sure what happened there, but it doesn’t matter now! We’re Dancincg!

that is one of the reasons beilein bothers me………i just dont care for some of his thoughts some times……however michigan making the tourney is a coach of the year guarentee or should be at least

beilein should definitely be talked about for coach of the year ill agree with that as well

avery queen…..llp play was solid but we could have sealed that game up with a better play than a long distance manny 3 and how about the iowa game which would have possibly locked up a tourney birth 3 games ago instead of another long ass manny 3………long distance 3 point shots when all we need is a 2 doesnt make sense to me

Seth Davis on CBS just said that “Michigan punched their ticket, they got their big win on the road, they’re going to the tournament.”

Kudos to Beilein for continuing to believe in LLP. Certainly, a lot of us were wondering if he should still see the floor. He carried this team for long stretches today.

I have to respectfully disagree Avery….Go Northwestern. In a 4 way tie between us, Minny, OSU and NW, Michigan comes out on top with the 4-2 record. That gives us an opening round game against Indiana rather than Iowa. I think the scenario where we play Iowa and Penn St. is intriguing, but I’d rather play the worst team in the big ten to really seal our bid. If we lose to Iowa in the opening round and enough bubble teams make a push in conference tourneys, we could be right back on that edge of the bubble.

Besides, it just feels more natural to root against the buckeyes.

Why is Beilein NOT being talked for coach of the year after this turn around?

chris – did you notice kelvin contribute very solid minutes creating turnovers playing great on the ball/in your face defense, while also playing with poise on offense? he broke the press and meanwhile our team got back into the game. did you also notice that every player that got minutes on both teams made mistakes?

bottom line is merritt, lee, and grady all gave solid minutes today and all deserved the playtime they got. quit trying to harp on grady just to pad your argument on umhoops.com. same goes for everyone that thinks grady is always the answer to everything.

As much as I wanted to scream out for Grady, I held my tongue on this one. Would we have won with Grady in the game? Maybe Beilein deserves some credit for sticking to his guns. We can talk about how he’s coached us out of games, but it’s far more probable that he just coached us into the Big Dance for the first time in 10 years. We were 10-22 last year. Amazing.
