Been awhile since we have been able to see or hear that about a Michigan Basketball coached program.
Agree great win and something the kids, the coaches, and the fans can build off of and feel good about the program. It has been 10 years I believe since they have beaten a top 10 program. Will UCLA stay in the top 10 all year ... who knows, but they are a program I would rather face now then in March.
The thing is the kids need to learn that they need to bring that type of effort every night. It does no good if they beat UCLA and then tank against programs they should win, but judt think they can show up and get the wins. That will be the true test thid year now.Expectations will grt higher now because of this win by the fans and media. How will the team react now to those higher expectations.
The bad thing is now we have to play Duke tonight. To me this is where you would love to go home and celebrate for a week before you have another game, but instead we have to face a Duke team that had a really great 2nd half yesterday and like I said yesterday on the Crisler free board http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s...mp;stm=42781365 "I am hoping for a good game ... win or lose ... Michigan needs to be able to play with these type of teams and show them/fans/media/etc. what this team has improved and become a better team." So again going against Duke would love to see us being able to play with them win or lose and keep the game close.
Michigan Basketball with a huge win last night against UCLA will take on Duke tonight for the Championship in the Coaches vs. Cancer from Madison Square Garden.
