That missed dunk is looking even bigger. And the -7 FTA margin doesn’t help.

I am going to give Stack some weird praise here.

He waited a long time to pressure the ball. But it worked.

Again, our bench was not great - and I think the disastrous early wave made all of the subs tentative the rest of the way. That was a terrible early miscalculation.

He also didn’t deal with Michigan’s bigs on d until late. While this was not Wright’s best game - at the end, he was playing Dickinson- and it worked. I might add, Ansong did the same thing - small but physical. Coach hung in there. That is a big win.

In the post-game - since we won - someone needs to ask why he took his foot off the gas at 17-5. I’m sure he will have a decent answer - but it’s a fair question.

I thought Stack's coaching 1st half almost blew it. His 2nd half was so much better but this win is on the determined players!!! Kudos!

What really griped my butt was the announcers were SO very biased towards Michigan, it just made me sick. Maybe they can go out with Coach Howard and drown their sorrows together.

On to baseball.
