To be real, we should not have won that game. But that’s incredible effort and pressure at the end. As stated, Memorial Magic.

Lot of credit to Ty Lawrence. In the last 5-6 minutes, he willed his way to driving and scoring. Made baskets and got fouled. Michigan knew what he was going to do and he still did it. Lawrence helped keep Vandy in the game until they could work miracles in the last minute. Incredible run over the last six to seven weeks. Go Vandy!

Wishing him the best of luck in health next season. He’s destined for an incredible season.

Obviously Stackhouse knows what he is doing, but I really didn't understand having Thomas in over Smith so much down the stretch. Michigan was in the zone, and Smith had been our best outside shooter. Also, Thomas' size was a huge liability on defense. However, we got the win, so Stack pushed the right buttons down the stretch.

Trey did hit a huge 3 at the end.

dickinson said they gave it to us....and who can argue that? he also said pregame that he planned a career game....but, in spite of a torrid stretch for him early in the second half, our platoon of liam replacements denied him. he didn't forecast that he'd miss a gimme and also grab the net with the game on the line. nicely done, dores!

TBH about 3 mins after I posted that things started unravelling. I thought "I just jinxed them" All's well...

Gave it to us or we took away. Doesn’t matter because we know how to finish a game and they don’t.

What happened to all his "career high" points he was going to have today.

That would have required 34 iirc. He only came up 13 short...with our big man on crutches on the bench.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hunter is mad because he played soft the last few minutes of the game. Jordan who is 6’5 man handled him down low.

Jordan might have struggled shooting today, but he won this game with his defense on Dickinson. The stat sheet won’t show it, but we know it.
