Dreadful night for local college basketball

First off, EMU lost at Notre Dame 76-65. It was simply a skill game folks, EMU didn't turn the ball over any more than Notre Dame, they didn't get swept away on the boards actually outrebounding the Irish on the offensive glass. It was simply the skill of the Notre Dame shooters to make their shots, and some were three balls. The Ypsilanti 5 didn't play a bad game, in fact Sophomore Justin Dobbins had another monster game with 26 points and has really elevated his play. EMU could have done a better job from the free throw line but the extra 3-4 makes it would take to make that number look respectable wouldn't have changed the game.

EMU (3-4) is home Tuesday at the ACC for a date with Illinois State.

That sound you hear in Ann Arbor is Tommy Amaker laughing his fool head off. Michigan really hit a sour note tonight in Boston against Hah-vaaad. The Wolverines couldn't have hit water if they'd fallen out of a boat on 20 of 62 shooting (for those scoring at home that's a cool 32.3% clip). The Crimson scored the final ELEVEN points of the game and beat Michigan 62-51. No good way to spin this game, P-U.

Don't fret, the next game is an easy one. Next Saturday at some dump called Cameron Indoor Arena in some whistle stop town called Durham in North Carolina. Apparently this squad is good as they have a #7 next to their name.

The Wolverines are 3-5
