#5 Denver vs Michigan Saturday @ 5

[StephenBaldwin]

This team just ran through the B10 in embarrassing fashion and is getting bent over by the 3rd best team in the Big East. Hopkins might be the only team to escape 1st round.

[DocBarrister]

Denver did precisely what you MUST against superstar SSDM Pederson … dodge hard directly at him. Led to a penalty against Pederson and eventually a Denver goal.

F*ck Tulip Ball.

They don’t look like the 3rd best Big East team.

Sometimes, a painful loss in a conference tournament ends up working in a team's favor going into the postseason. Looks like that might be the case for Denver here. No question they came into this game more angry.

First, this game is definitely not over. Not even half yet, and after watching Michigan in the BIG tourney they have the ability to make a comeback.
Second, have to wonder how travel plays into this. Both for Denver heading east to Nova and now Michigan west to Denver...

Definitely not over. A mere seven goal lead is within Michigan’s grasp.

Having said that, Denver can win this game, but they will need to continue the pressure. We have seen Denver dodge hard into double- and triple-teams, and directly against Pederson. That won’t be easy to keep doing, but they need to floor it and continue the relentless dodges.

Let's see what happens. We will have a ballgame again if Michigan can cut it to three.

They just look really tight and unprepared.. played so loose in the BIg 10 tournament

[10stone5]

This game sure looks over

unless Michigan comes out for the 2nd half with a totally new look.

Michigan looks like Hopkins out there, amirite Doc??! Tulip ball

[gymman1031]

Anyone smelling a Michigan comeback?

Michigan definitely has another gear, both on O and D. Third quarter will be telling.

I was thinking about the tournament this year. This feels like the year UNC won it all. Someone out of nowhere can make a run and unseat Notre Dame.

[norcalhop]

Anyone smelling a Michigan comeback?

Yes, they'll lose by 4 instead of 8.

Maryland could do the same. I'd wait and see before coming to premature conclusions.

DocBarrister

Yep … another gear.

Michigan’s default style is not Tulip Ball.

Are you watching, Blue Jays?

Nope … aggressive lacrosse all over the field. The way God intended the game to be played.

Hopkins fans watching this game have seen the denver run from both michigan and denver this year and the michigan run from both denver and michigan this year. Wonderful. Like seeing 2 of your ex-girlfriends in pictures together with their husbands.
