Very good game between Ohio University and Michigan tonight as most expected.

I thought Michigan was in trouble early the way Ohio University was shooting the ball from the outside.

Ohio University was on fire early ( well actually for most of the game from several players) on while Michigan struggled shooting from the outside along with missing a lot of close "bunny shots" some of which can be credited to Ohio University defense and some just not our day like we have seen this entire year.

Ohio University was playing tough defense and also created turnovers that lead to many points. Michigan was struggling early on defense and left a lot of players with good looks and not much pressure. Sometimes being that open is tougher than having a guy in your face, but they drained them.

Ohio University has a very good team and if you can keep shooting like you did against Michigan you can go quite far in this tournament. As others have mentioned I think Ohio University has a very good program and a good coach. Might be tough to keep him if they win a couple more games in this tournament because a lot of programs will be looking for a good coach after this season is done (Illinois and Nebraska) are just a few teams that could possibly look at your coach right now.

This is bittersweet for most Michigan fans because we had a good season in which we shared the Big Ten regular season this year something nobody was even thinking was possible at the beginning of the year when we lost Darius Morris to the NBA early. Also how far our program has come with these two senior (Zack and Stu). They ended their career by going to the NCAA tournament 3 out of the last 4 years.

Good luck against USF who has looked impressive the first two games of the NCAA Tournament they have played, but can they continue the hot streak. Will be interesting match-up.

It was nice to get a win over the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

I see you only got a few replies to your post. Congrats on coming back -- post game and leaving a respectful post.  I imagine many of those who were bashing you this past week may continue to hold a grudge and not acknowledge you.  At times I just don't get why some people get so nasty on sports web sites. Case in point -- this morning I saw a fellow Ohio alum posted some garbage about Vitale and some others going to a crack house with Jaylen Rose.  When such immature posts commenced earlier this week I posted how Rose had put his name and $ behind a school in Michigan focusing on leadership etc. Sadly, some people have a need to focus on the negatives. Not sure why they'd not post on our win, advancing in the tournament and focus on positives rather than stooping to cheap shots. I may get blasted by some also but I think if some people read what they posted they'd be embarrassed and wish they could retract.

I would like to play the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor again sometime.

You guys will be much better next year when you get an actual post presence. Hardaway needs to stay though (be dumb to leave, but crazier things have happened).

Thanks, Eroc. You brought a lot of quality information to the board and kept things civil. I wish more opposing fans would interact with us like you. Good luck any time you play Ohio State in any sport. Just remember that they're not Ohio.

Hardaway isn't anywhere near ready. He has been off and on all year long and as you guys saw he isn't very consistent shooting the ball. That was an average night for him to where I saw him a lot better, but I also have seen him a lot worse as well. To streaky of a shooter from 15 feet out. Also needs to work on handling the ball better. How many bunny shots did he miss alone yesterday? 2-3?

We got one big man coming in that is for sure and needed badly.

Jordan Morgan for being our big man plays soft and needs to get a lot bigger/stronger and a little meaner would help. Needs to add 20 pounds and get better around the basket. He act small doesn't go up strong and doesn't take contact to well. Needs to keep the ball higher as well because he always brings the ball down where smaller players can knock it away with ease.

Counting on true freshman is risky.

Worked out well this year with Burke, but Mitch McGary 6'10, 245 and ranked very high will help, but I worry about counting on freshman and especially big freshman that have to go up against bigger/faster/stronger built players that have been in a college S&C for a couple of years.

Michigan loses two players that have more of the intangibles that you want for leaders, but they aren't the most talented or athletic so it should be interesting next year.

Coach Beilein is bringing in his best class next year. Besides McGary, bringing he Glenn Robinson III (son of "Big Dog from Purdue) and Nick Stauskas who should help with the talent and being more athletic roster as well.

Eroc: You're a good dude. Welcome here whenever you like.

Jerry: How's it feel to be so much better than the rest of us?
