Huskers are hanging tough - down 4 at half. They really miss Morrow. If NU can play cleaner (too many turnovers) they might have a shot against a pretty pedestrian Michigan team.

Looks like Miles is asking Roby to step up which is great. That Wagner kid is a player, that move behind the back into the lane was sweet and almost an ESPN Top Ten play. He has shown good foot work close to the basket as well as 3 point range.

I would hate to have to guard Wagner. You know all that shoulder acne rubbing on you would be gross.

Geezus...the turnovers by NU.

This one is about to get away from NU unless something changes dramatically.

As I say that, Fuller comes in. Expect the 9 point deficit to stretch.

66-63, NU trails with 7:25 to go. NU is able to get the deficit down 3,2,1 - but then Michigan immediately build it back up to 6, 8, or 10. NU has never led in the game. Hopefully something breaks for NU in the final few minutes.

I keep thinking this is a game where NU will only lead 1 time - at the end.

But geezus this is maddening. NU cuts the lead to a single possession. MU hits a trey, NU turns it over, MU back up by 7. Rinse and repeat.

Another frustrating loss by NU.

The 3-0 start was fools gold. NU followed that hot start by losing 2 very winnable games.

The stats are going to get a little extreme here at the end, but the difference was if Michigan wasn't draining 3's, they were making free throws. NU could not keep up in either category.

Good game. We have a good team. Those 3's. Ugh. Couldn't overcome that.

Very one sided on the free throws,I watched the whole game,definitely missed Morrow's presence.Fool' s gold think so ,I think they missed at least 5 foul calls.They should win 4 of the next 5 .Purdue and Wisconsin would have had a hard time betting Michigan today the way they shot the ball especially missing one of your best rebounders,also I think they said Michigan ranks 5 th in the country in f.t. % .3-2 after the next 5 games I expect 7-3 but we will see ,depends upon Morrow's return,definitely a rebounding machine.I personally see alot of improvement on this team and will only get better but man Tai has really picked up his game,also Taylor and Webster ? Damn he can play.Don't count this team out they may have lost but they didn't quit this team atleast feels they can win.

RPI at 53 after loss...I think we were at 50 coming in to the game so not a huge hit. Lots of games coming up to help that number. Still hoping we can get Morrow back by the Purdue game.

Beilein has owned Miles just like McDermott. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if Miles beats Izzo again this year. College basketball is a strange game.
