Obviously the hope it that 2025 pans out a bit better than the 2017 group but it has been a while since we seen this much talent in a single class.

While Belmont's record was only 2-3 coming into the game, I was a little concerned about this game because Belmont had #11 OSU Buckeyes on the ropes earlier, and undefeated OSU pulled it out in the end 67-63.

UM started fast against Belmont and went up 12-4 and it seemed like another blowout, but someone put a lid on the bucket and the momentum swung the other way and Belmont came from 8 down, to actually take a 6pt lead in 2nd qtr. Senior Jordan Hobbs carried UM in 1st half with 12 big points and enabled UM to claw back and tie it up at 27-27 at halftime (Hobbs had 12pts, the 3 diaper dandys in Swords, Olson, & Holloway each had 5pts a piece at the half and that was all 27 pts UM had at half)

But in the 3rd qtr, "Do it All" Liv Olson was not going to let the upset happen, and had a strong 3rd quarter and was firing on all cylinders and the Wolverines UM took the lead by 8pts by end of 3rd quarter.

In the 4th, UM held serve as Syla Swords came to life and hit a couple of big 3s, reserve Brooke Quarles-Daniels was scrappy off the bench, Yulia Grabovskia was strong on the glass, and Mila Holloway hit 6 consective FTs towards down the stretch to ice it.

Final Score: UM 68-58 over Belmont.

Starters:
-Liv Olson 19pts, 11rebs (led in both)
-Jordan Hobbs 15pts, 7rebs, 3asst, 2steals
-Syla Swords 14pts, 8rebs
-Mila Holloway 11pts, 4rebs, 5assts
-Greta Kampschroeder, 3pts, 3rebs

Bench:
-Brooke Quarles-Daniels, 4pts, 5rebs, 1blk
1steal, 1asst
-Yulia Grabovskaia 2pts, 6rebs (5offensive Rebs), 2assts, 1steal
-Macy Brown, 0pts

UM plays 6-1 Virginia Tech in the Championship game at 7:30 on Saturday at 7:30pm.

Va Tech was a final 4 team 2 years, but their coach and top shooter left for Kentucky. Lets bring home the trophy ladies

How in the world did we get this lucky. I mean, I am not sure that there is another coach out there that could underperform with the talent he has had. My heart grows with every Buckeye excuse because it means they are all that much closer to keeping him. As long as he is there we will always have a real shot at winning The Game no matter what.

thank you for your fantastic coverage of all things michigan. reason why i subscriibe to mbr and not the other site

I know this is behind a firewall in Apple news, and not for everyonebut it’s a really interesting article about the perceived gap between Michigan and Michigan State and what really happened over the last five weeks feels like a fairly balanced piece considering it is from the Detroit Freep

Members of the 2021 Ohio State recruiting class to beat Michigan:

Quinn Ewers
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

For the moment.

Think he has to get to or win the Natty to save it.

starting a fight, saying: Our guys won't let Michigan plant their flag in our house...

clock ticked down to "0".

The Game is the best rivalry in sports.
When you win four in a row, there's only one word for it.
Dominant.

My good news is we have a new OC. He's now our guy, so I support him 100%.

I'm excited about the recruiting class and hope we can recruit a couple more by signing day. I'm also interested in what the portal will bring with the announcement of our new OC. Everyone likes to get a few gifts this time of year.

We have a bowl destination, and it's a quality opponent. I would prefer we play some new faces, but nobody is asking me, so Beat Bama!

I'm closing in on finishing my Christmas shopping.

I'm blessed.

What's your good news?

Go Blue!
