Michigan was outplayed in the second half, which made the difference in a loss to Illinois last night 66-51. Thanks to the whistle-happy officials in the MSU-Penn State game, I missed almost the entire first half and wasn't able to see the last 10 minutes of the second half. Therefore I can't go in depth and wax poetic about the game.
Michigan missed most of their three point shots (7 for 26), which will usually spell doom for them. They were extremely cold in the 2nd half, scoring only 20 points. Illinois Center Mike Tisdale scored 24 to lead the Illini. Manny Harris was again a bright spot for Michigan, finishing with 20.
Looking ahead, the Wolverines host Ohio State Saturday to kick of a 4 game stretch of very winnable games. The rule of the Big Ten is protect your home court and road wins are a plus, so Saturday's game is important for Michigan.
