I know I've been on Pike and staff after one of the lowest points of the season with that loss to Minnesota, blowing a 10 point lead with just over a minute left in that game. Today, Pike's brilliance was his mix-and-match offense and the great spark plug play by Simpson and Woolfolk. And today, Paul, for the first time in recent memory, looked like Paul of old. Kudos to Paul. Cam, knocked down threes, twos, and FT's. And even though Cliff didn't score a lot of points, he did just enough against Dickinson to cause him some problems. And as great as the Purdue win was early in the season, THIS game with the NCAA on the line was IMO the BEST!
Lastly, kudos to Pike, Knight, and Hobbs for NOT trying to play Michigan straight up man-to-man. The mixes of zones especially the 2-3 zone, gave Michigan fits in the second half. At one point, we held Michigan to ZERO points in 15 minutes. Outstanding! And with this win, we have PUNCHED our NCAA ticket and now will go to our THIRD NCAA TOURNAMENT EVER!!!! Congrats team!
