Squeaker

Michigan Basketball has entered the Big Ten Season. (shudder) They lost to Illinois this week, and today at Crisler they just barely beat Purdue. Well at least is was a W. We enjoyed watching the game and were really happy at the outcome.

Even though the team did well in the pre-conference season, I still have low expectations for the Big Ten season. So I was especially happy. They've had a rough time for the past few years. The basketball scandal was deadly for our BB program. The students seem very supportive, and that's probably a big help for the team. Go Blue.

This from mgoblue.com:

Daniel Horton scored a game-high 24 points, including the go-ahead free throws with 2:39 left in the contest, to lead the Michigan men's basketball team to a 68-65 triumph over Purdue on Saturday, Jan. 7, in Crisler Arena. Horton tallied 16 points in the second half as the Wolverines (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten) overcame a five-point halftime deficit in their conference home opener. Graham Brown added 11 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, Sims had eight rebounds and three blocks, and Ron Coleman chipped in with eight points.
