Worried about a let down at Mackey Arena tonight

We were so high on Sunday, some let down seems inevitable, hope we can overcome that. If we lost at then BT winless PSU with Trey Burke last year, then Purdue poses at least as big of a risk- they will show up and give us everything they have.

'shoes

I do not view any game as a gimme.

I will guess that Michigan wins by 6 and covers the 5/5.5 point spread

JB surely remembers, and most of the team knows, what happened last year. Hopefully, a let down was coached out of them this time.

I am hoping after some tightly contested games that they can cruise tonight.

Have we had any games, since the B1G season started, where we were able to cruise?

Do you mean other than Nebraska, Northwestern, and sparty?

Frankly, though still hopeful of---indeed, expecting---a Blue victory tonight, I feel this is the remaining regular-season game we have the biggest danger of losing...because of Mackey, and that 7-foot monster inside...and P's two guard brothers.

Illinois simply doesn't have the weapons to keep up with us, there or at Crisler. The home court will be enough for us to do in Minnesota, and I want to see us friggin' smear Indiana and its goody-two-shoes coach. (Though I'm thinking more along the lines of an 8-10 point win in our 3/8 finale).

Speaking of guard brothers, did anyone else know that Andre Hollins and Austin Hollins of Minnesota are not related? They are both from Tennessee, have similar names, same last name, play the same sport and play for the same college. I always just assumed they were brothers until I read differently.

How big of a loss is this for Purdue?

Considering he's started the past six games (per that clip), it has to hurt them. Winning/Losing aside, though,
you always hate to see this happen..."part of the game" or not.

Per KenPom....

Michigan has a 74% chance of winning this game.
83% vs Minnesota
66% @ Illinois
87% vs Indiana

the chances of going 4-0 are 35.3%.

Going 3-1 is the most likely scenario. Let's not overreact if we drop one of these 4, please.

Unfortunately overreaction is likely assured with any loss.
