Wisconsin led something like 59-44 with about 5:30 left when LaVell Blanchard and Daniel Horton rained threes like no one's business. They stormed back to win 66-65 in a thriller that opened conference play for both teams. What a game.

K19, did you see this game live? Was it on local tv or do you have the package? I live about an hour away from Ann Arbor and the game wasn't on locally. Unless you count a 2:00 a.m. tape delayed broadcast. (It was on live in Flint which is much further North. Go figure.)
Anyway, a very impressive run by Michigan. Eight straight wins coming off six straight losses. Horton is starting to look like a premier player (something most experts didn't think would happen) and his emergence has really lifted the team.
It's still a long way to go, but Amaker's club is showing signs of improvement. Just a great win for the kids in Maize and Blue.
Now if they can just get the NCAA to hand down the sanctions, the program can move on.

A local station aired so I did watch it. And I agree, they could be dangerous in conference play. I don't think they will compete for the title, but they could easily play the role of spoiler. Horton is good and I really like Blanchard as well.
