First 39 minutes of Michigan-Ohio State was an absolute joy to watch. Passion, intelligence, and skill in abundance.
Best game I’ve seen in a while. Salute.

What a win for Michigan. Ohio State is right there with anyone else in the country.
That was maybe the best regular season college basketball I can remember seeing, as far as quality of play. Final score was high, but it wasn’t because of poor defense. Just super high level O

Michigan/Ohio State felt like a 1-vs-2 matchup.
That was the most complete, enjoyable college basketball game of the season.
