So that’s what’s it like to win a road game against a Big Ten power. Nice.

Darius Morris: 40 minutes – 17 points 8 assists 4 rebounds – this kid has grown up before our eyes.

Serious question… I think we should employ the notre dame offense… Burn the shot clock and make some shots to shorten games… At least on the road

Remember when Amaker had us doing that? I wanted to pull my hair out. No thanks.

one thing I love about Izzo. He takes all the blame when the team loses. Or at least most of it. I guess its a bit easy to do when you have job security like he does, but still

Anybody wathcing BTN right now. Thought I could see just a hint of a big smile in Gus Johnson’s face as he talked with Greg Kelser. Plus Kelser looked like he was about to murder someone. Ha, love it. Ok, season premier of Archer! What a night. M wins, sledding, Kelser looking stupid and Archer back. WOOOOOOO

AWESOME!

Finally . . . I feel like order is starting to be restored to the universe. (Remember, we lead the all-time series against these guys.) A huge, huge win for the team and the program. Let’s enjoy it for the next 24 hours.

It was great that the Wolverines downed the Spartans in Breslin. Finally.

What a boost for a team that needed to be aimed in the right direction again. This should take a little of the heat off of Coach B. Morris, Novak, and Douglas played great games. No one plays harder than Novak.

I live near Lansing so all week long all I heard was that the Spartans were down, but even so had the coin to whip the Wolverines easily etc.,etc. Tiresome stuff.

Glad for the Coach, team and fans. Great performance, great result!

Re-watching the game and Summers should of easily had 3 Techincal fouls for mouthing off to the refs… Sparty got away with a lot no calls… Glad U of M could pick up the win…When Smotz can contribute 10 or more points a night this team will be deadly…

I meant Green not Summers…

Jeff

Somewhat agree. Although this game dispelled my belief that Green had an exemption from having fouls called against him. The guy gets away with absolute murder. He’s a smart player.

Alex

Real big accomplishment for the team. They should feel tremendously proud. I am so happy and have learned that once again hard work really does pay off. Congrats.

Great game and a nice win on the road against the biggest rival at the most difficult time of the season following three miserable losses. I have been saying all along that this year is the year that Beilein will deliver a victory or two against Spartans, because they finally show some vulnerability after all the off-season distractions.

It is good to see that Novak had a A+ game and emerge as a leader of the team. Had THJ and JH made their 1+1′s, the game is not even close. Thank Stu for delivering the knock-out punch after being quiet all night long. If the boys played with the same intensity, they will win more games.
