Finish out this season, and when the offseason comes,
add in National news, like what other teams are doing, and things of interest.
The next season, add in a Top 25, and Conference Standings and stuff, so everyone can keep tabs on what the Nation is doing compared to Michigan.

=]

Yeah good idea. I've added so much in during mid-season and my stuff is all messed up so I'll do keep steady updates instead of doing one "Key Moment" and not doing another for 3 games. I think its good for my first chise and there is always something I can add and thanxx to all you guys with suggestions.

Michigan was an underdog in this one. Michigans record against ranked teams coming into this one was 3-2. Michigan was down early but came back and was up by as many as 12. Indiana has a lot of will power and tied the game. But it all broke loose when Michigan played fantastic D and forced turnovers to extend their lead. Indiana couldn't come back with such little time left. Michigan pulls their 4th upset of the year, 70-65.

Key Moment- Michigan plays great D and built up their lead late in the 2nd half.

Best Play- A fast-break one-handed jam by SF #24.

Since I don't have time for a game I thought I'd take this time to tell you what addition will be in tournament time and next season:

Tourney Time:
My Results (if i make it )
Big Upsets and Results from Big Teams
Gamely (is that a word?) Tournament Brackets

Next Season:
Key Moment (every game)
Best Play (every game)
Pre-Game Breakdown/Post-Game Analysis (every BIG game)
Weekly Top 25
Injury News (weekly)
Award Races

Hope thats enough, it'll defenitly be work and updates won't come AS fast but they'll be better and give a idea of whats going on through the NCAA.

P.S. Anyone know how to get a fill-out bracket i can post in here? Any help would be nice.

P.P.S Any more ideas will be thought about!

[YoungWonda]

Game will be posted in 1 hr.- 2 hrs.

Game 22

Michigan Wolverines
@
Ohio St. Buckeyes

Michigan Starting Lineups-
C- C #22- 71 ovr
PF- PF #34- 72 ovr
SF- SF #24- 71 ovr
SG- Zach Myers- 76 ovr
PG- PG #01- 72 ovr



Ohio St. Starting Lineup:

PF- PF #45- 73 ovr
SF- SF #23- 69 ovr
SG- SG #21- 74 ovr
PG- SG #13- 71 ovr

This game was a heartbreaker. Michigan was the favorite in this one. Ohio State led almost all through the game. Michigan was down by 4 with :45 to go. Michigan scored and stopped them and tied the game with :10 to go. Ohio State called a timeout and had their best play called. SG #21 hit the three and crushed Michigan. They could not tie it up with a three and do not have the best conference record now (5-4) and aren't looking good for the conference championship.

Key Moment- Ohio State's 3-point GW with 6.6 to go in the game.

Best Play- One-handed dunk over 2 big men by Myers.

News- C #22 (sore finger) will be out 12 days and will miss the next game against Indiana.

Michigan Key Players:
Zach Myers- 11 pts. 1 reb. 3 ast. 3 stl.
SF #24- 13 pts. 2 reb. 4 ast. 3 stl.
PG #01- 13 pts. 4 ast. 3 stl.

Ohio St. Key Players:
SG #13- 10 pts. 1 reb. 11 ast.
SG #21- 21 pts. 1 reb. 5 ast. 1 stl.
SF #28- 28 pts. 3 reb. 2 ast. 1 stl.

Michigan plays #12 Indiana who they just previously beat.

(Thought I'd point out that Duke (Blue Devils) are NOT ranked and have A LOSING RECORD!!)

Michigan blew Indiana out of the water. The #12 team didn't look good all game. Michigan ended the 1st half with a big run. The second half was close but if Indiana scored more than 25 in the 1st half they could've had a chance. Michigan wins this much-needed one 83-68.

Key Moment-Michigan ending the first half with a big run.

Best Play-An alley-oop off of a Pick-N-Roll from PF #34 to Z. Myers.

Indiana Key Players:
C #03- 18 pts. 8 reb. 1 blk.

Michigan showed how much they wanted this one. Michigan totally gave Northwestern a game. Not a good one for Northwestern though. Michigan was perfect. Literally, they shot 21-21 in the first half (32-37 in the game). Michigan got up 23-6 at one point and the lead extended to as much as 34! Michigan showed that when they are on their game, they're hard to be beat. Northwestern got blown out of the water, 75-47.

Key Moment- Michigan having a huge run to open up a 23-6 advantage.

This game was a thriller. No body could turn away. It was so energized in the stadium. Michigan trailed at half. But thy countered with an explosive 2nd half.
