The Wolverines dismantled the 8-14 Iowa Hawkeyes last night 60-46, crushing the hopes and dreams of all sports bettors who took Iowa (+13.5), expecting another Michigan collapse in the final ten minutes of play. But that wasn’t the case this Saturday. MICH came out to a 13-0 lead with a combination of scoring from Sims, Manny Fresh and Stuin’ it and never looked back. In a game where two teams match up very well (stat wise), Iowa could not come back from their 17-29 first half deficit.
Deshawn Jonathan “Peedi” Sims continued to dominate down low, scoring 20 on 9 of 18 shooting (2-5 FT) with 12 rebounds. Corperryale L’Adorable “Manny” Jonathan “Fresh” Harris scored 20 as well and contributed 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers!?!? Stu & Grit Novak contributed 6 each, Morris and Zhaq Novak added 2 each and LLP finished with 4, which may be a typo.
Iowa shot 30.9% on the night which wasn’t much worse than Michigan’s 36.2%, but their inability to rebound and capitalize off Michigan turnovers lead to their crap performance. Unlike every game Michigan ever plays, they out-rebounded Iowa 44-31. This lead to 20 second chance points and never allowed Iowa to get within single digits of MICH. Michigan for once didn’t cause their opponent to cough up the ball more often than they did, 12 TO’s to Iowa’s 10, but it didn’t matter because Iowa couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
MICH corch John Jonathan Beilein spoke to WLA correspondent, Hathachips about the game as he enjoyed a brewdogger in his $60 recliner from Art Van.
On Sims and Harris: “Those two can really perform out there. They put in a great effort today and they always do. They lead by example and it would be nice if they could speak up a little more. I’m glad no one got elbowed or kicked anyone in the face tonight. Wait, can you cut that part out?”
On the student participation in the “Maize Rage”: “The “Rage” spent a lot of time heckling John Lickliter, which used to happen to my boy at West Virginia. The ND fans would call my son “daddy’s babby girl” which was odd. But Lickliter, I’m not so sure they are making fun of him because he is the corches son as much as they are because his name is LICK-LITER. Amirite?”
On Stu, Novak and LLP: Stu and Novak hit some shots tonight which was good. Gritty Novak got some serious boards which is always nice. I would really like to those two increases their outside shooting percentage.
On why their shooting has not improved: “I wish I knew. Maybe there is something wrong with the rims because nobody shoots well here. I mean, if Michigan State didn’t dunk it 25 times on us we would have beat the shit out of them. They made 1 of 17 threes that day. Sweet Jebus that’s bad.
On the 2nd half of the Big Ten Season: “We have 9 more conference games and the tournament. If we win all nine and the tourney, that gives us a record of 24-10 and an automatic bid in the tournament. We plan on doing that.
On his crazy 13 game winning plan: “It’s simple. I told the team: “Don’t stop make it pop, DJ gonna pick us up tonight, gonna fight till we see the sunlight! Tik Tok on the clock but the party don’t stop NO, Oweowee OH OH!” So hopefully that can fire them up like Queme Los Barcos did last year.”
Let’s hope so…
Why come Corch B didn’t comment on LLP? Who is this LLP character you speak of?

Nice Post! Love the snuggie!!
But it should be noted that LLP was the Michigan player who scored the game’s last bucket taking the margin from 12 to 14 points and covering the spread for Michigan.
That Darned LLP. He shows up at the oddest of times.

Until proven otherwise, I am now assuming that someone in the Chips Syndicate has a Michigan snuggie and the body connected to Beilein’s head is Hatha’s.
