A guy that I used to work with said it is a funky place, but said it was the best atmosphere he has ever been to watching a College basketball game. His words: "This is a place you have to visit before they renovate it, or you die."

I was not a huge believer in Belien when he first got to Michigan, but I think he is close to being, if not, the best coach in the BIG at this point.

When he first got to Michigan, the program was a mess, was it as much of a mess as Iowa when Fran got there no, but he had major issues with his "star" players buying into the program and UM suffered for it.

Where I think JB has elevated himself, is with his staff, that supporting cast of coaches he has are very good and are excellent recruiters. I have said since Fran came to Iowa, I wished he would have kept LaVall Jordan, that guy is one of the best talent evaluaters out there. While at Iowa he was trying to get Burke/McGary before us fans knew who the heck they were and he was the key guy to get Cody Zeller to even visit.

Look at what Michigan lost, what they added and there is an imbalance of talent. Stauskas and LaVert have made a difference, but Horford/Morgan are vets the staff has coached up. Walton/Irvin are not as good as Burke/Hardaway, but UM plays as a team and yeah, they still have some talent, but the staff is very good at developing talent.

PSU never lead in the game until 6 seconds left. IU with 20 turnovers vs PSU pressure. I hope they try to press Iowa. We'll shred those bastards.

Was it you who wanted Marble to be at point? I hope not.

No that was another poster. I don't remember who, but it wasn't me.

I like Marble at Point Guard

Actually, 39 minutes and 54 seconds. But I'm sure that makes them feel a little better.

Kinda reminds me of the Iowa State game.

That is what he said...bucket list...sorry I have been very ill and sometimes the meds make me forget things, but remember others...lol

One thing that he told me was, you know all the beams that are in the middle of the stands...there are seats behind them...I said are you serious and he said, well if I hadn't sat behind one of them I wouldn't have believed it...lol

The last 3 and a half minutes of that game Indiana was 0/2 on FG, 2/4 on FT, had 5 turnovers, and was outscored 15-2. The word pathetic doesn't do that performance justice.

Have you watched some Iowa performances of not scoring; I would be happy with that in a couple of the losses Iowa has had because they may not have lost.
