It would be nice to make the Big Dance but for me that would just be another huge bonus and a blessing for recruiting. I have felt we were way to overrated with the talent or lack of talent on the roster. For us to have the same season as lat year we need a lot of breaks and for LLP, Stu D, and Novak to shoot the lights out consistently. Gibson, Morris and Wright to contribute good minutes of smart basketball and solid role-playng when they come in to rest our starters. When you’re starting 4 small guards and 1 PF you need to hit your shots and limit turnovers, play solid D. I liked when they showed Beilien talking to they guys after the win and he was stating the statistics and how playing that tuff D the whole game will get them the W.

I take some of the credit for Ant Wrights pretty good game!! (Just kidding, i did call him out after the Indiana game.) I still think he makes horrible decisions and throws the ball into the 1st row to many times in 8-12 minutes of game time he gets. It was nice to see him get some confidence and shine on National TV. Good for him. It was great to see Peedie and Manny get help! we still need 2 of the next 3.

Great win. Manny’s drive and dunk was awesome. Anthony Wright did a nice job as well. They have some tough games ahead. Hopefully they can keep the streak going. Go Blue!

What’s with all the posts about who the TRUE fans are and who is better than who. Let’s all grow up a little. Yikes.

2600 students at the game, there were sure to be some that thought this was court-storming-worthy, even though must of the core Ragers had no interest in rushing the court.

But we will have you know that when we beat those guys from East Lansing, the entire student body will be on the floor. That is the kind of game that begs for students rushing the floor, and the Maize Rage will be all over the court then.

Whoever is criticizing fans for storming the court, you should probably start watching the GAME and not just the last two minutes. The fact that you can point out one collective problem in an entire day shows that you have no vested interest in the TEAM and how they perform. It is not only insulting to the students who genuinely cheer for the team night in and night out, but it is disrespectful to the team because you are putting them in the back of your minds while you concern yourself with the fact that the fans are over-zealous.

I want to take this time out, and give a quick apology to Zack Novak. Other day I said he never makes a 3 when it counts, and I almost cringe when the ball rotates his way in a tight game. Well today..he knocked the biggest one down of the season for him and this team. Takes confidence to continue shooting that rock, when you havent been “on” so to speak. Ant you did your thing too. While watching the game, I explained to my friend that you were probably “the worst player ever from Oak Hill” (sorry but you’ve killed me everytime I thought you were turning the corner, so I had to jump off the very small Ant Wright bandwagon)..well today you came through…Very good win for Blue. Lets build on it!

The court got stormed because the students storming the court were the fair weather/big game fans. A big percentage of the fans that really care and go to all of the games tried to resist.

And people need to stop talking smack on LLP. He’s not shooting well and does 1 or 2 stupid turnovers a game, but he continues to start every game because he’s a solid defender and comes up with big plays on defense. He also is the only guard that can actually penetrate on the dribble (excluding Manny of course).

RR was probably holding the piece of paper that listed all 30 Recruits that were visiting Ann Arbor from the 2010 and 2011 classes this weekend. People need to chill out about Rich Rod for a little. He has had 2 years to turn a pure pro style passing offense into a spread option offense. That means that the only players on the roster that were recruited to play the spread are 18 and 19 years old as sophomores and freshmen (most of whom redshirted this year). Seeing as he has turned around every program that he has been at for the better, I think we should all let the man do his thing for at least another 12 months and stop worrying about his facial expressions at a basketball game.

For whomever was asking about highlights, I’d suggest just going to http://www.mgovideo.com and use torrents to download the entire game. It’s worth a watch end-to-end.

I’m with you, Jamie. Obviously 11-7 would get us on the bubble, whether or not we’re on the right side of it would depend on what happens nationwide and in the BTT.
