Bet the Farm V: Michigan +11

Man if a couple calls go the other way or that bad stretched was a little shorter, could have won it outright.

Nice win on the bet though. Congrats everyone!

Not sure how anyone can call this a back door cover. They were within 10 until 7 minutes to go in the game. Ohio State was up by double digits for 6 minutes before Michigan came storming back.

Not a back door cover at all.

It is March Madness, this game will be close. Ohio State looked unmotivated against Northwestern, I expect the Buckeyes to win this one 68-60.

Final 68-61, unreal.

Blue could have won that game. Very irresponsible 5:00-1:30.

**dfberger23** · 03-12-11, 03:44 PM

Hopefully they are more disciplined in the big dance. When they start throwing up random threes it makes me insane.

Great call...watch Penn State win next...

Maybe because they were up 19 with 2:30 left?

Doubt it, expecting the Spartans to roll by double digits.

Basketball can be a game of runs, Ohio State went on one.

Hey doesn't matter how you win, as long as you win, but you have to admit that was a backdoor cover.

down 19 with 2:30 left isnt a backdoor?

It was 17, not 19. That is two possessions down with several possessions remaining in the game. They were in the game for about 35 of the 40 minutes.

yes it can be a game of runs, and michigan went on a late game run to backdoor

**mattmc419** · 03-12-11, 03:54 PM

I don't think it was a backdoor at all.

Michigan stayed tight with Ohio State in the previous two meetings and they did again. They had one bad stretch with some bad officiating mixed in. Other than that, it was an even game.

**sportman1313** · 03-12-11, 03:54 PM

It really appeared that the refs did everything they could to ensure OSU gets the straight-up win and once that was decided, they definitely called it in favor of Michigan in final 2 mins.....MAN OH MAN, I'LL TAKE IT THO. I WAS GONNA BE SOOOO SICK WITH THAT TERRIBLE OFFICIATING IN THIS GAME. IF IT WAS CALLED FAIRLY, I THINK MICHIGAN WOULDA WON IT STRAIGHT UP OR WOULDA BEEN SO MUCH CLOSER.....ON ANOTHER NOTE, THAT ONE BLACK REF GAVE THE BALL TWICE TO MICHIGAN AT THE END WHEN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THEIR BALL. WOWWWWW, JUST WOOWWW.....REALLY FEEL BAD FOR OSU -10.5 BACKERS THO......woulda been down over 10.5k with this loss over past 3 days, but instead won it. CONGRATS ALL.........WOWW!

I know OSU is a great team, I just don't understand the reasoning behind laying 10+ points when the last two matchups have been way closer than that.

Nice job to all Michigan backers
