Winning a 4 way Big championship is nothing to brag about. I like the guy he is really nice and a class act but if you don't play any D your not wining anything and his teams always lack toughness.

That's why I hate these threads after a loss. To say definitively that this team won't make the sweet 16 without even seeing who we'll draw is crazy. However I am surprised to see how fast people have turned on Beilein.

Now Jordan Morgan, he deserves plenty of blame. Wisconsin doesn't score all those points in the paint if he's on the floor. Unfortunately, catching the ball and making lay ups are holding him back right now. And that's a serious statement.

It was a 3 way tie with MSU and OSU last year. Both of those teams were far more talented which tells me that to equal them means that Coach B did a fantastic job. Last years team with Stu and Novak did not lack toughness. Size yes but Novak was as tough as they come.

I dont think Beilein is to blame. I think clearly he bares some responsibility, but these players are soft and lose focus, over and over again.

Were you in a coma for the end of the Michigan State game in Crisler?

chill out guys. we played in the toughest conference I've seen in my life time. If we played in any other conference, we will most likely be a #1 seed. this tough schedule is going to help us for the tourney

I'm 300% sure you would never say these words to Jordan Morgan's face, who is 6 foot 8 and probably 240 pounds. That says more about you than him. But go ahead and keep calling Division 1 athletes "pussies" via message boards.

He's lost all confidence after the Indiana game, but dude was still All-B1G Defensive Team.

fine by me lol, we for some reason can't seem to beat them. I' m sorry but this is a really bad loss.

Just like he did something against Ohio last year, right? (That game was similar to this Wisky game.)

It amazes me how people romanticize the past and put people on a pedestal...

I just don't like the way the team played in the second half of this game. Lots of bad shots. Piss poor defense. No energy until we were down double digits. Close the gap and then we commit 2 stupid fouls to let them widen it again.

You guys realize that if we change the outcome of 2 specific shots this season - a half-courter that went in and a tip-in that didn't - we'd be the B1G champions and in contention for a #1 overall seed, right? And that this is still the same team that started the year 20-1? Yeah the team is spotty and inconsistent, but it's also capable of greatness. We have as much talent in anyone in the country. Nothing is guaranteed, and obviously 3 seeds lose early all the time, but pretending like we "can't" go on a run and saying things like you're not even going to bother watching the tournament, or that you "hate" this team, is simply ridiculous. Amazing how quickly fans can get spoiled. A lot of you are 10-20 years older than me and actually attended Michigan when the basketball teams were *actually* bad and no one gave two shits about them even in Ann Arbor...and now you're whining about this team? Puh-lease.

And LOL @ people bagging on Jordan Morgan. He played just 8 minutes.

By comparison, Stauskas played 35 minutes and went 1-8 from the field, 0-4 from deep, and had 2 turnovers.

Because everyone else has guys just as big if not bigger. What you are really missing with Jordan Morgan is that he is just not that talented. He was not a highly recruited kid coming out of high school and they were right about him. Simple as that.
