It would be a shame if I didn't stop to praise the Michigan men's basketball squad for their great win over the weekend. Not only did they top #4 ranked Duke, but this marks the 2nd win against a top 5 opponent this season. The other victory coming against UCLA a few weeks ago. I watched the whole game Saturday afternoon...which is an accomplishment for me since I rarely get into basketball.

But the scene and excitement at Crisler Arena was palpable. That was maybe the best that arena has looked in years. They surely took advantage of the national spotlight. Michigan was the focus of the whole ESPN broadcast. From the pre-game locker room speech, to the focus on Michigan players throughout the game...it was clear ESPN was very happy to see a Michigan team be competitive again. As I'm sure Michigan fans were as well. What a great win for this squad.
