What is the minimum Big Ten wins to get into the NCAA tournament, say 9, if UM wants to play in that tournament they have to win today. Lots of tough road games still ahead.
He was doing shooting work against PSU too, but in sweats. I take this is at least somewhat noteworthy.
There’s no magic number of wins. It depends who they are against and where they are played.
We can and should win this game, Livers or not, but we will need him once we go back on the road.
Officiating crew for Illinois at Michigan: Larry Scirotto, Kelly Pfeifer and Brian Dorsey
This matchup is a concern though. Our D takes away something they don’t mind avoiding. Just have to rebound like we did against PSU
No Terry Wymer or Lewis Garrison equals auto-win, right?
Livers shooting 90 minutes before the game alone has to be good news, right?
Where does all of the Terry Wymer hate come from? Would you rather have Wymer or a guy who has only officiated a handful of Big Ten games?
Didn’t Wymer officiate a bunch of Michigan’s losses last year or am I thinking of another ref?
You’re thinking of Lewis Garrison or DJ Carstenson
Nova, UNC, Purdue, IU, @Iowa, Wisconsin, @MD, Minny BTT games last year. U-M was 7-1. The point is that he does a lot of Big Ten games so he’s going to do a lot of games that you remember.
I’ve got Illinois +155 today… Hopefully I lose money and Livers solves all our problems.
For the how many league games does Michigan need to win people:
Win the game. Go Blue!
Even more so when you think about the conference tourney and the wins that will be available there
