ANN ARBOR – It took him over seven months, but on Sunday, John Beilein finally watched the record of the loss in the defeat of the Michigan National Championship against Villanova. He saw her without the sound – the offending possessions of Michigan first, then those of Villanova.
In fact, Beilein watched some of them in April, but it was only two pieces – two that he considered "crucial" – and then he stopped him. Upon seeing the game in full, Beilein was reminded that he was running so fast.
Michigan was up seven points halfway through the first half. The margin was just two at the mark 3:30. But Villanova closed the half on a 7-0 run and opened the second half on fire. Michigan has never been closer than 12 in the final at 18:51 and has lost 79-62.
Although watching the last game of the season is not usually great, although Beilein also witnessed the defeat of the 2013 Michigan National Championship, it was important in this case. Michigan plays Villanova again on Wednesday.
By definition, it's a revenge. But the teams will barely recognize each other. Villanova's top four scorers in this match have gone professional early. Michigan lost its top two scorers tonight, plus another key player.
Beilein said that he considered this match as a simple match against a very good team. He suggested that it could mean more for Wolverines back. But the two people who met the media on Tuesday echoed their coach.
"We both have new teams, really," said Jon Teske. "It's just another great game for us, another important game."
Isaiah Livers was asked about the motto of the football team: "Revenge Tour". "I would not call it a revenge tour," Livers said. "It's more fair – like any other team – we want to win – we want to go to a really great arena with a nice crowd against a great team with a great coach and we want to go out with a" W & # 39; 39; "
(If Livers and his teammates want to adopt the attitude of the football team, it would be appropriate that this season, Michigan play against one of the teams he lost last season.)
Wednesday's results will not change anything that happened on April 2nd. This is a decisive test early in the season for two teams ranked in the top 20. Michigan and Villanova combine 4-0 against teams that should not win their conference single application. The Finneran Pavilion will be full and boiling when the Wolverines come to Philadelphia.
"We had a scrum, we had two games," said Beilein. "Now we will discover where we are."
