Shameless Self-Promotion Time: Indiana Recap

Michigan finished the 2012-13 regular season with a mark of 25-6 (12-6); yes, that Big Ten mark is inferior to last year's by one game. Sure, this year's Big Ten is better than last year's, but isn't college basketball just funny sometimes?

Anyway, here is my recap of Sunday's gut punch of a loss, at Maize n Brew as usual. Every single loss Michigan took this season stung in its own way, perhaps all magnified by the fact that they were relatively few in number.

Nonetheless, what would ordinarily be hailed a wildly successful regular season ended with an anticlimactic thud, as the Wolverines enter this weekend's Big Ten Tournament in Chicago with the 5-seed and a Thursday matchup with, yes, Penn State.

To Chicago we go.

Shameless Self-Promotion Time (Ohio State)

(HT: Mike DeSimone) 

• In light of Saturday's flurry of second half turnovers, nihilism might just be the way to go. Hey, it's an ethos, right? At least that's something, unlike what many might term Al Borges' playcalling in the second half. As usual, I tend to side with Al on a macroscopic, Big Picture level, although even I have to wonder about certain things. Why am I still going...just go to Maize n Brew, where I wrote about The Game. It's going to be a very long month or so until Michigan's next game, likely against an SEC team that should be favored by a solid amount. Feel the excitement.

Here it is:

• Three thousand completely painful words about whatever it is that happened on Saturday in Lincoln (over at Maize n Brew, as usual). Was a game played? Did we win? I don't even know, so no spoilers please. Should I say more in this blurb? Should I say things of substance instead of asking pointless questions in order to avoid saying things about the game? Should I stop doing this? Okay that's probably enough.
