Michigan vs. Wisconsin Basketball Open Thread

The worst was an obvious goaltend in the first half that led immediately to a fast break for Wisconsin. There's four points.
And we shot 2 free throws and were in the lane the whole game.

...is the result of poor coaching down the stretch. Coach B blew it by allowing a shot at the end of regulation. 2 fouls to give and then a 1 and 1. Game over; Michigan win. Very disappointing.

It is pretty obvious that there is really no focused game plan to close out games for Michigan. It seems to dissolve into going to one-on-ones, or not designing plays to get someone open. Obviously hitting one of about 10 missed lay-ups would have helped as well, but it would be nice to feel like a time-out actually resulted in a designed play-type substance that focused some effort into getting one of the shooters into a good position to get an open shot or move the ball in something other than a long-range 3 point shot.
Also, how many times this year has it been brought up that you foul with a 3 point lead and less than 5 seconds left before teams, you know, actually implement the strategy?

Yeah, that stupid man-to-man defense. Who comes up with crazy fucking ideas like that?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
you sir are absolutely pathetic. Getting beat or tied by incredibly low percentage shots sucks, but is not a reflection on bad coaching. Amaker and Ellerbe were bad coaches...Bielein has us set for a number one sead. Grow some balls and take losing a close game to a B1G foe like a man

Did he graduate and clone himself as Spike Albrecht?

Everyone on our team is terrible! Our coach is terrible! Levert should never even be playing! Burke is so overrated! I can't believe how clueless our coaching is! Our team doesn't even try!
February 9th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
terrible all around. I think some of the posters bashing this team need to get their heads examined. They lost a close game in difficult place to play, while being completely railroaded by the officials.
People need to stop acting the foul before the shot is taken is 100% clear cut. There is always the risk of the player shooting the three as soon as he touches and getting three free throws. Wisky hit a 1 and 200 type shot.
Edit:Unless this was meant to be sarcasm, which I apologize if it is.

Possible sarcasm?

Yes, we FUCKED UP by not fouling that little turd.
But the winning bucket was scored after Stauskas had won a clear rebound, only to have his arm broken off in front of the ref, who not only didn't call the foul but actually said it went out off of us!!!!!
FUCKING BULLSHIT decision!!!!
February 9th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
Watch the replay. The WIsconsin player got all ball.
Stauskas needed to chin that ball and either call timeout or dribble out of the double team. He didn't.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
the official for calling it off him when it clearly wasn't how? That was second time in the game they called a ball off him when it obviously wasn't. The one in the first half was even worse.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
For all you idiots trying to blame the coaching staff:
Beilein was calling for the foul at the end of regulation. Dakich even mentioned that Beilein was telling the guys to foul.
A true freshman made a mistake. Life goes on. Beat STAEE.

Yeah, I can't believe we just let Trey Burke shoot another three at the end of regulation again.
Oh. Wait.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
.........................grrrrrrrrrr.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
conversation isn't happening if we simply guard the guy inbounding the ball at the end of regulation. I would have thought Beilein learned that against OSU in the Big 10 tourney.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^
Goodbye B1G championship, goodbye Indy in the Sweet 16/Elite 8 (if we get to the S16), and that inturn means goodbye Final Four 4 hopes.

On the plus side, Michigan is 2-0 after a loss.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
What about 2011? I'm pretty sure Michigan beat State coming off a loss to Minnosota

Is it just me or do I feel like I just watched the same last 5 minutes of a game 3 games in a row? in losses like this you look for teachable moments to build on...but how many more games will it take for Burke to run the offense at the end?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
you can't bitch about the offcials, what point is it ok to bitch about the officials? No wonder college basketball officiating is so piss poor, when people just make excuses for these idiots every game.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
not that there are any other teams out there that qualify as "elite" right now but the fact is we are just one of a set of top 15 teams that are pretty good but not great. Our defense is mediocre, we have no real inside presence, and Stauskus and GRIII are regressing at an increasingly rapid pace.
