If we don’t turnover the rock, we win thos game by 20 plus. A lot to like; crossing my fingers that Howard can get the turnover bug under control.

We beat the spread and the only reason it was close was because we were self destructing. If we can clean up turnovers and end of game play this team could be really good

Wow. Great win for Michigan! We go 10 deep and get the job done!

Way to knock down those late FTs by Teske.

Huge to (with almost certainty) avoid any chance of facing southern miss.

Yeah, no need to pick nits here.

22 turnovers and a KenPom and spread cover against a good team in a weird venue at a weird time. Hard not to be really, really encouraged.

22 TOs and we still scored 83 and got the win. Pretty impressive.

Guys we can’t have it all. Simpson was 4/4 shooting, and took smart shots. He had 13 friggin assists! And, @umhoops will tell us how much we out-scored ISU with him on the floor (hopefully). We are NOT struggling with fast breaks like last year. I nearly had a stroke with late-game again, but I am loving this team, this coach, and this style of play.

Pretty much house money next two days, with a very good win already in their back pocket. Love it.

This is a good win for sure. Clean up the TO’s and this team becomes a threat to win the Big Ten.

Gotta say I didn’t expect depth and shooting to be a strength of this team

Really encouraging that they survived huge stretches without Teske too. Last year, that was poison to us.

Ready to watch more of this team tomorrow!

@tarverine, who you got tomorrow?

Franz with 23 minutes. We’ll take his Moe chirping on fouls as long as he doesn’t start getting ts. Really impressed with bench scoring so far.

Z was a +15 today.

My thoughts exactly; this first one was as much of a “must win” as a game this early in the schedule can be.
