That was an impressive come back. Was looking bleak with halftime deficit and Murphy with 3 fouls.

Color me impressed with the 2nd half.

It also seemed like coaching malpractice for St. John's not to force it inside to that one guy we absolutely could not defend against in the 1st half

His halftime adjustments have been fantastic. Unfortunately just doesn’t help much when you are losing by 28 at half lol

Yeah. In other words don’t take too much away from the Michigan loss. They’re absolutely loaded.

Very nice win.

Hall got back very quickly from his injury.

I guess Jovic will miss some time.

Magwood looked better in his limited minutes.

Oporum needs to develop.
Freeman needs the weight room.

SWA is a man-child.

Pettiford is looking more like we thought he would.

For sure. They showed some chest tonight. The beat down they took from Michigan and the way the end of the first half went, they could have easily packed it in and said they enjoyed their trip to Vegas.

But they proved they can go out and snatch a good win. Us fans have to remember these guys are still learning how to play with each other. It is an entirely new team. Still have a lot to clean up, but overall it was a good tournament showing for this team.

Good news is the SEC isn’t in the same stratosphere of where it was last year. I fully expect to be competitive in league play

Michigan is the truth for sure. Look like early season Auburn last season.

Yeah Michigan looks like the best team in the country from what ive seen. They are fricking stacked.

I haven't seen Purdue yet this season so I could be wrong about who is the best team. But it seems hard to believe anyone is much better than the Wolverines right now.

Great win tonight. Team showed resolve after what happened last night and even being down 9 at the half. Could have easily checked out after three straight games.

Michigan is just on an absolute heater.

Yeah, shooting abnormally high percentage from 3 this tournament. If they are shooting 50% from 3 with their size down low not too many teams will be able to hang with them.

Congrats to Coach Steven Pearl getting his first big time scalp in Petino.

Yeah. Perception wise this one is huge. Beating a higher ranked Pitino coached team coming off of a 30 point blowout is no small feat.

Very nice win. Saw the half time, then the final, and now the Michigan-gonzaga score and I am now going to put my cotton-headed negibarner sweatshirt away.

And jumped from 35 to 25 in KenPom. Probably will vary some as game complete out over the weekend.

I’d guess we stay about the same in the AP with what Michigan is doing to everyone so somewhere around 20ish

Yeah, anybody with a functional brain can see that Michigan is a Final 4 team unless something really goes sideways.
