Matthews' return was huge last night, especially defensively and for depth. I figured Iowa couldn't possibly have a second great game in a row either. Michigan still played Brooks more than expected, but at least he hit a 3 and did well on defense, and presumably it was to prevent Simpson and Poole from getting tired today and hypothetically tomorrow.
Simpson's hook shot in front of the rim (as opposed to from the side) was his most impressive yet, along with 2 3s and getting a double-double.
I like Michigan's chances today, considering they've beaten Minnesota both times this year, and convincingly in Minneapolis, and then it's looking like we'd get another rematch with Sparty tomorrow....
