Michigan vs. Northwestern Basketball Open Thread
What a difference a game makes. What would have seemed like a ho-hum Tuesday game is now a crucial game in the Big Ten title race after beating Ohio. As always, Go Blue!
Edit: For your entertainment, while we're waiting, for the students on the Blog, don't leave you evening companion to do the "walk of shame"...call her a shuttle-

We'll need good minutes out of McLimans tonight.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:19 PM ^
We can haz offensiv rebounds? w00t!!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Is it an NCAA requirement to have an oversized logo at midcourt?
February 21st, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Way downtown!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
Haha really nice job by Stu getting the open shot. Who covers anyone that deep?
Goddamn it Morgan.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Jesus two really cheap fouls on Morgan. Two on Smot, as well. Good lord. Not a good thing.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Wow not good, McClimans hope you can play well for the next 14 minutes
February 21st, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
Are you freaking kidding me? They called that?
February 21st, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
Everything ticky-tack being called against Michigan, NW getting away with murder on the defensive end.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Bartelstein?
/s, kind of
February 21st, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Seriously, it might be Christian.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
Good thing we're shooting at least
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Oh baby!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Don't exist.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
man sometimes you just have to let them play a little bit.... ticky tac fouls all night
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Complete opposite from Saturday, every little thing being called
February 21st, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Man this team can't board.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
He got called for the Courtney Sims
February 21st, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
FINALLY called NW for hooking. They do that EVERY single time they drive to the basket.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
Call that ref!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
February 21st, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Mclimans just ripped the ball out of Vogrich's hands.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
February 21st, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
One of those nights where we take all three's? SMH
February 21st, 2012 at 8:29 PM ^
Well considering we don't have any offensive movement right now, that is about all that is open. Further, consider that Novak and Morgan have been on the bench for most of the game thus far, plus Smot now, and yet we are still winning while not playing well on the offensive end.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
In the bonus in ten minutes.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
Dammit
February 21st, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
bonus already
February 21st, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
February 21st, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
For those at the office, what's up with all the fouls?
Gongshow?
February 21st, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Gongshow.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
Vogrich!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
If there is a team that can beat a 1-3-1, it's, um, Michigan.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^

Damn these fouls kill, that's an easy dunk with Morgan, but McClimans can't catch a post pass for shit. At least he's not fouling.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:45 PM ^
because he is no where near the play...ever. It is painful watching him try and defend a quick big guy.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
This would be a great game for Horford. Stupid stress fractures.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:35 PM ^
that kid has a lot of potential.
February 21st, 2012 at 8:37 PM ^
get the ball inside and get them in early foul trouble as well
February 21st, 2012 at 8:37 PM ^
The refs know this is a big game for northwestern, hopefully we aren't fighting two opponents...again
February 21st, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
have to keep the pressure on them with the refs calling everything. Good game for Hardaway to get it going
February 21st, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
This game is frustrating so far but being close with McLimans playing 12 minutes in the first half would be an accomplishment
February 21st, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
Jeez we're playing so sloppy
February 21st, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
this is game is fucked..
February 21st, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Jesus christ they're killing us off the corner
February 21st, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Have to get Smotz back in, so what if he picks up his 3rd, I'd rather risk fouling out then dealing with McClimans in for 14 minutes, he can only sub in spurts.
