It's amazing to me that an All American like Niang can get called for all the ticky tack **** he does while a total doofus like Woodbury can dive into a scrum on the floor leading with his elbow 3' from a ref and it doesn't get called. If refs get the memo that they should constantly watch Georges for traveling shouldn't they get the one about Woody fouling almost every time he does anything including the first play of literally EVERY GAME?

Michigan doesn't look like a team that should be in the tournament.

Michigan sucks. Was watching the game but it was too painful to keep watching. ****** shooting. ****** offense and ****** defense. Is Michigan aware that they need to guard Uthoff? Uthoff isn't really working that hard for a lot of his shots. Michigan is just leaving him open.

After watching a while, it's pretty obvious why they chuck threes- they don't have a single player capable of creating his own shot.

As much as I enjoy seeing Iowa lose, Michigan is a really bad team and there is no way they deserve to dance.

Agreed. Iowa did the country of favor there. I like Belien but Michigan is too banged up to be a tournament team. The Missouri Valley stealing a bid and that performance tonight should eliminate Michigan short of them running through the B1G tournament

Hawk faithful and their media will call this an amazing win

Just another opponent Iowa defeated that was banged and missing their best players---while Iowa went through an entire season without injuries

shmuckeyes luckiest team around....

Below what would of been Michigan's senior class for 2016---not one was on the floor vs Iowa. Injured or in the NBA

Really smart and well-timed loss for Iowa, positions us nicely... wait, we won, nevermind.

That's a really high-quality road win for us. Tough Michigan team, in their place playing for their lives, nothing comes easy in the B1G especially on the road.

If you hadn't had those moments of Hok weakness during the football season where you legitimately were talking trash along with the trolls, you'd totally be my favorite Hawk poster.

Rutgers would probably disagree. I also think Minny, Penn State AND Nebby would fit that bill as well. They are all the TCUs of the B1G.
