Michigan basketball vs Ohio Open Thread [Come on back if you want]
Okay folks, the time is almost here, big game, big opportunity to make a statement.
BEAT ohio!!!!
Edit: Party moves to the other thread: Michigan basketball vs Ohio Open Thread (2nd half). I'll open this one up again after the game finishes, I just can't follow both at this pace on my own. JGB.
Apologies for any problems this caused. Like I said, I just couldn't do both at the same time. Comments back on about twelve minutes after being disrupted.

We're on pace to smash our most turnovers per game. *sigh*
January 13th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
hardaway needs to step up here....Burke is struggling...show us your the veteran and future pro that we think you are
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
.......do something
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^

You people blaming the refs are hilarious.
Michigan is playing like shit and OSU is playing great. Bottom line.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
We blamed the ref for ONE call
January 13th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
Go ahead and skim through this thread. People saying "looks like we are playing against the refs today'' etc. etc..
Idiots.

Take whatever position you want on the officiating, but there's going to be pretty much no tolerance for fight-picking right now.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
this sounds like it is your first time on the internet...unbiased fandom tends to occur on fan sites...your welcome

Please stop passing up wide open 3s for pull up long 2s... please.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Would you guys be opposed to me coaching the rest of the game?
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
What really bothers me is the body language and lack of effort.

We can't get into any kind of offense.
We're too passive - they're in our grill and we can't attack back offensively.
This was my biggest worry with this team, I think they're soft. They don't do well against any kind of pressure.
We have to go at them and get to the foul line until they back off.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
We have no defense.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
WTF, they might not even deserve a top 8 or 9 ranking if this keeps up and might be behind almost every other one loss team....shit
January 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
One team is playing defense, and one isn't. Probably not a great strategy. Coach B needs to wake the team up. Burke and Hardaway have started this game about as poorly as possible on both ends. They aren't alone, but they're expected to be the leaders of this team.

I want to stick around and watch this, but I can't. Just... angry and frustrated and I mean, it's been a while since something really, really good happened to Michigan sports. And this was the chance and we've crapped the bed.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
This is exactly how I feel. Go figure the one time M lays down this season, it's against fucking ohio. I'm tired of being their bitch in football and basketball.

How many fucking comments are you going to make about the officiating?
January 13th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
too...much...dribbling....
January 13th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
January 13th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
This is a good eye-opener. This is the first time we've played a game where the refs allowed this kind of contact. Right now we're not dealing with it well, but in time we'll come to expect it and deal with it properly. Go Blue!
January 13th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^

Finally! Someone attacks the basket and gets the foul.
The refs can't call a foul if you don't ATTACK the pressure. You have to go straight at them.
The way they're playing, Craft could have 3 fouls by now, just go at them, get fouled. Live on the free throw line and beat up the backups when the starters are on the bench in foul trouble.

if Michigan is going to act like a world-beater then let's start scheduling like a world-beater. Let's actually have a road game in OOC versus a ranked team so it's not B1G season when we get our first test.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
WVU is trash this year.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
AL BORGES WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Oh.
Wait.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^

McGary is making constant poor decisions on the defensive end.

but if it ends like it's begun, it will be a big wake-up call for the team. They've had a lot of smoke blown up their asses over the last 10 days, and after this it's back to reality. Maybe they aren't the best team in UM history after all.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
January 13th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
But they didn't win....

Seriously Trey Burke...stop trying to be a hero....
January 13th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
We're just throwing the ball away. I haven't seen this from this team at all this year.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
Well, I just hope we get to 10 points at least before halftime.
