I personally haven't liked how the Wolverines have been playing since the start of the Big Ten Tournament. To me they looked tired and not really interested in playing to their full capacity 3 games in a row. That seemed to continue in the 1st half of game 1 in the NCAA Tournament.
That wasn't the case against a very talented St. Louis team that runs the exact same action Michigan does. Now, STL doesn't have the talent or size Michigan has and that was clearly the difference in the 2nd half. The 1st half was again close but I thought Michigan was focused and was ready to step it up a notch after some halftime adjustments.
Michigan now can find it legs with nearly a week off and get prepared to face a football rival in Alabama. Chicago hasn't been very kind to the Wolverines in the last few weeks, so lets hope the Windy City is welcoming to the Wolverines next weekend. Tip is 7:35 on Friday on Tru TV.
- In the back of my mind, I always wondered if the new staff would find a role for Ron Bellamy if he didn't find another job. Coach Whitt and staff did just that and re-hired Ron to a recruiting role. If your paying the guy anyway, might as well give him a job! This will help in state recruiting and mostly in the Motor City!
- Congrats to the Women Wolverines who also are heading to the Sweet 16 after going 2-0 at Crisler this weekend.
- Congrats to the Michigan Hockey team after wining the Big10 Tournament and heading to the NCAA Tournament as the #1 seed.
- RIP to former Bo assistant coach Jerry Hanlon. Rest in Power coach and enjoy a cold one with Bo and Elvis today.
- Iowa impressively beats reigning National Champion and #1 seed Florida last night
- Nebraska vs. Vandy might have been one of the best college basketball games I've ever watched.
