Just an awesome win. One of the programs best road wins ever.

All because your christened their state!
For all of You non-believers. This is a tuff deep Team-
We did not play near our best We wore them down

Rhoden and Jackson are going to carry this team. And if we get what we got tonight from Aiken season could be exciting
Gotta hand it to Aiken for closing the game out.
Gut check, gutty win. Key decision was to bury KR. GREAT job by Ike and Aiken. Rhoden being Rhode. And Good job by Willard down the stretch too.
Hey, someone tell our guys to grab that National Championship trophy that was stolen from us on the way out!
Great game guys!
Great game guys!
You never want to put too much stock in a single game, but this is one that both teams saw coming and showed up for. It was a big deal to both — and both conferences — and our guys played a flawed game but figured it out and gutted it out. What more can you ask? And you’re going to keep seeing a young Michigan team get better and better so this is a real chip to have.
Great, great win. That win is legit. And so is this team.

Up there with Syracuse in 2000 (who was also #4 at the time). Other than that, I can't remember anything close in my time following the program.
I was at the Pitt game about 20 years ago when they were no. 4, but that was home.
It’s a good question to ponder. What say you, @SnakeTom ? I can’t really recall one this big on the road. My memory only takes me to the early-mid-‘90s or so.
Great job by everyone involved. But imo, other than Ikey I give the game ball to willard. It’s not easy with so many dudes to go with the correct choice and the hot hands and make the right adjustments but he did all of that. Absolutely great win!
I would say Georgetown in 198…6-87, I think. They beat them twice that year. Georgetown might have been. No. 8 in the country then? I remember the game
Not many better road wins I can think of. Nova win after losing so many in a row was sweet but this was much better. Great win.
This is the highest ranked out of conference road win in school history. This wasn’t even what I think will be our A game. We will be able to play with anyone in the country this season.
Congratulations! Way to rep the conference!
Something to be said for the BE at 4-0 in Gavitt games with UConn and Nova sitting out.
Jerry --we had it all the way - just wait for Richmond and Samuel to join this Party AND THEY WILL--
Best Defensive effort against ---,as we were constantly told, McDonald's All -Americans everywhere-- I have seen in I can't remember
Me too. One of my all-time favorite memories as a fan of any sport.
A win none of us will ever forget! Go Pirates!!!
I can't recall another win like this on the road. Just that Cuse game in 2000. Even the 1989 team did not pull off this big an upset in an away game. Tho that win over Kentucky a few years ago was sweet but MSG is not a road game.

What would really be poetic justice is if this win (and that missed free throw) spurs the Pirates to never before seen heights and a 2022 national championship. Then, and only then, we can forgive them for '89.
I can dream, can't I? LOL. 🤣
Not sure if it is just excitement and the fact that there haven’t been true fan showing for 18 months, but that crowd, at least in the first 10 minutes of the first half was ELECTRIC. Watching on TV, I looked at my brother and said in the first 5 minutes how hard it must be for our guys to play through that away court energy after so long.
And that is what is so impressive to me. Although we went down 11 in the 2nd half our guys NEVER got down on themselves. Not sure I’ve seen that type of resilience in any of our teams in recent memory.
What an exciting team. This roster, man 1- man 9, (1-10 when BWest gets back), is ridiculously deep. And I’m no super expert, but our defense was nothing short of a work of art for a majority of the game.
Richmond is struggling, but I have zero doubt he will click at some point. He’s a physical specimen who just needs to get comfortable in our system. I think most of his struggles have been on offense, but he had a few hustle plays tonight which showed his potential.The fact that he really hasn’t contributed too much as of date, and has underperformed is also pretty exciting. Once he clicks, watch out.
This team is going to make some noise.
Love this team, love this school, love our coach, and love the fact that we got our payback from ‘89 (even though I wasn’t even a thought, I’ve probably watched that disaster more time than I can admit).
How awesome is the Rock going to be for the Rutgers game?!?!?!
I think as Hall fans, we have learned to be cautious over the years, but this group is amazingly promising. Let’s just make sure we support them and show up at home this year.

LPB43 Agree. This best part of depth is when someone is off in a game, coach can substitute and ride hot hand. Richmond and Samuel were not playing best games and Action Jackson and Aiken picked them up. Team has potential and depth. Coach will need to manage it and keep everyone happy with their roles. Looking forward to a great season.
It always blows my mind whenever I hear this. I have gone to check it on a map more than once.
