"This game means more to us than it does them, let's play like it!"

Michigan beats Duke!! This is the second huge win this season for Michigan. UCLA and now Duke. A solid big ten season and Michigan should go dancing for the first time in years. 

Michigan was led by DeShawn Sims' 28 points and 12 rebounds. Michigan was better from the field, from 3-point range, from the free throw line, and they hit the glass hard. The story of the Duke game earlier in the season was Michigan's inefficiency overall, and today they came out with confidence and drive. It seemed as though Michigan just wanted this game more. Sims, Harris, and Grady should play 30+ minutes a game, with a compliment of Douglass, Novak, Gibson, Wright, Sheppard. 

The last time Michigan beat Duke, Charles Woodson won the Heisman Trophy later that night. Savior that memory and enjoy the Michigan Basketball win.

I am thrilled that Michigan has a watchable and competitive team again. I look forward to watching and writing more about them this season. 

#4 Duke @ MICHIGAN

32-30 Michigan Wolverines up at the half.

David Merritt gave this incredible sound bite in the Michigan locker room before the game, and it certainly has been ringing true so far through the first half of play,

"This game means more to us than it means to them...lets play like it. Win on three! One. Two. Three. WIN!"

Let's go Blue. Great to see Crisler Arena like this again...
