We were down 5 at halftime. I seriously doubt the game was lost in the 1st half.

"Biggest difference in this game was one team shot the ball well and the other team didn't. Duke shot lights out in the first half."

healthy…..we were the best team in the conference this year. Proved it in the regular season and you best believe it would’ve been proven again last night and tonight.

Omier won't be ready for game 1 so Coach L needs to be fast tracking Casey for big minutes.

Probably see more Beverley but that won't help out height issues.

This team has to show it can win a big game without Omier. Its not a gurantee. They'll have to be mentally tougher than they've had to be all year.

Gang rebounding!

I write all this because I hope we appreciated how hard and well UM p[layed yesterday against a motivated duke team. if we were completely healthy, with Pack and Omier, we win the game by 15. It is that simple.

Without Omier we aren’t making a deep run. It is that simple Because he is that good. Sometimes life sucks and this is one of those times. But we should never, never stop appreciating how great of a season this has been for UM or how much has been accomplished. It will unfortunately be one of those seasons that years later we will write, “If only we had been healthy we had a Final 4 team”.

Bump. I filed this post away because I thought it was brilliant at the time and it has aged extremely well.

The good thing is we don't have to say if only regarding the final four.
