HOKIES SHOCK THE NUMBER SEVEN TEAM IN THE NATION

Va Tech Campus,VA (AP)-- Hokies! Hokies! Hokies!! Thats what the Va Tech fans were chanting throughout the Virginia Tech Campus. The Hokies took over Ann Arbor and did it very well. They looked like they could be ranked. On the other side, Michigan, has been struggling as of late. Allowing opponents to have big leads and not scoring or shooting well. The Hokies took advantage of that. Led behind SG #40 who racked up 37 on the Michigan D, Va Tech took the crazy upset 81-76. The Hokies got up by 11 in the 2nd half and MU got it down to 5 but that was it. After all the energy to come back, they were juiced so they couldn't get the lead. MU fans were shocked in this loss and shocked that they actually moved up 2 spots in the Top 25 despite dropping 2 of their last 4.

5th-ranked in the nation with Indiana at #1 and Michigan State at #2? The Big ten is looking like a killer this season!

[YoungWonda]

Oh yeahh! BIG TEN is dominant this year. It's prolly because they have so many good Freshmans. Well actually after me not playing a game in a week I dropped 6 spots to 11. Posting that now.

[Apocalypse21691]

Nice season so far, I've been away for a couple days, but I've caught up, and nice win against Ohio. =]

[YoungWonda]

Yeah thannxx Apocolyspe and this is to everyone: Is there anything you guys think I'm missing. I'm doing the Top 25 now, Award Races at the month, my games, and is there anything else you guys think I need? If so, just tell me and I'll try to put it in.

P.S.- I got batteries so next game will have pics.

MICHIGAN DROPS LAST 2 AND 3 OF LAST 5

Ann Arbor, MI (AP)- Michigan dropped their second game in a row to a less than stellar Oregon St. team 76-69. Michigan has been struggling a lot lately and will need to pick it up for conference play

"We need to buckle down and take over. I'm sick of this. We're not playing good at all. Practice will get these guys into shape and we will practice hard and win our next game. Mark my words." Those were the strong words from Michigan coach, D. Jones.

"Am I happy with how we're playing? No. No I'm not. I think we need to step up our defense. Our O is fine but our D is allowing too many points. Much of it coming from the Shooting Guard and Small Forward positions. I'm not calling out (Zach) Myers or Andrew (Chung) but I'm just saying." That came from very disappointed Rupert Berger at a Post-Game Press Conference.

Michigan plays their first conference game against #1 ranked, 13-0, Indiana Hoosiers. Coach Jones guarantee might be hard to live up to against a stellar team like Indiana.

An Oregon St. player has a great dunk over Michigans SG #15




Michigan had some bright spots like Bergers dunk (top) and PF #34's dunk that resulted in an "AND 1"

Berger (left) and Myers (right) have identical dunks

Michigan was underrated coming into this home game. Their previous game against 3-7 Oregon St. they lost. The game before that they lost to Virgina Tech. Indiana, though, was undefeated coming into the game. Will they be undefeated going out of it? Coach Jones said his team would win this game. His actual quote was "We're not playing good at all.Practice will get these guys into shape and we will practice hard and win our next game. Mark my words." So, game recap. It was neck and neck up to about the mid-way mark through the 1st half. Michigan had a 7-point lead. Indiana caught back up but fell down again late by 8. But at half Indiana was down 40-34. Michigan started the 1st half great getting a 13 point lead, Indiana though, brought it back up to a tie. Michigan slowly pulled away late and the heartbreaker for Indiana was a 3-point that was drained by Berger to bring a 4-point lead to 7. Michigan takes down the number 1 team 84-73.

Clutch Time/Play- Bergers' late 3-pointer that gave Michigan breathing-room late

Best Play-

Myers has a reverse dunk that slams home 2 of his 16

Michigan continues their conference play against Wisconsin.

[vrobx1]

Seems maybe the Wolverines were looking past Oregon State before their big game with IU. They made up for that loss though by knocking off #1! Great job!

[YoungWonda]

Yeah I dunno what the deal was in that Oregon St. game. I was mad. Everything was going their way. I couldn't even make a 3! They were draining them left and right but oh well. We beat the #1 team so hopefully that'll make up for it.

Keep following.

I had an awesome Highlight Video that I edited with Windows Movie Maker and it won't show up when I try to upload it at Photobucket. Any help will be appreciated.

My best guess would be to try YouTube although I've never posted a video online myself so I really wouldn't know how you would go about putting it up there but I'm sure you can find a step-by-step instruction on how to do it.

[YoungWonda]

I dunno I'll just stick to pics. Next game coming today
