this team's road play pisses me off so much. they refuse to show up, D up, rebound.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:55 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^
i hate everything and everything!!!
February 12th, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^
there better be a turtle chomping on Beilein's dong right now.

Is the visual equivalent of having a turtle bite on my dong.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
That's 5 THJ 3 pointers and we're in the lead. We can get back in this!

Jump off the bandwagon now. And send yourself to Bolivia while you're at it.

That doesn't mean every bro won't come out of the woodwork and rant about how great sparty is and how they "been on" whatever the fuck that means. You obviously don't live in West Michigan or a neutral/sparty-heavy area.
Oh wait, I don't either! I moved to STL I forgot! Fuck yisss.

I liked it better when we were an overachieving, under-the-radar team that utilized the "every 4 minutes war" when we played in big games.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
I liked Zack Novak and Stu Douglass. Leadership. They had it.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:29 PM ^
But only at home. And usually just against mediocre competition.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:59 PM ^
#1 seeds sure as shit don't play this badly
February 12th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Florida vs Arkansas and Duke vs Miami disprove your theory. Everyone has off nights. We just seem to have off first halves.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
I don't buy Florida as a #1 seed even though they'll be awarded one. And Duke was playing it's first game without it's best player.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
Ryan Kelly was injured before the NC State game.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:59 PM ^
I'll be in the corner watching Kate Upton jiggle. Wake me when it's over.

How's this for a stat?
THJ has never scored a first half point at the Breslin Center. In his career.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
If Stauskas and GRIII don't show up on a neutral floor in a huge environment, UM isn't getting past the second weekend of the tourney.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
Dude looks completely uninterested in being involved on either end of the court when he's in the game. Beilien needs to have a come to Jesus moment with him. Sit him the rest of the game or something to make a point. Either play hard, or you're not playing.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
This stretch has been brutal for the team, but to just not even show up against your in-state rival.... who the refs have indeedv allowed to hand check and grab at will. But what the hell did they expect? This was going to be way more physical that Wisky and the starters and bench look like they've never seen anything like it.

You know...if I had to choose now of the NCAA tournament to take a dump in the game of basketball id choose now...so hopefully this team is just going through growing pains and will get it together for the tournament. That will show how good of a coach JB is...
February 12th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
Right, everyone would choose that. But, taking a dump now does not mean that they will be better in March. Taking a dump now and taking a dump in March are not mutually exclusive. These tough losses don't seem to be leading to improvement.

February 12th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
Holy shit you're right. He IS still on the team....I just thought we were starting 4 players for some odd reason. I had to go back and re-watch the first half but he is in there.
I need to go back and check the Wisconsin game. Was he there too?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
Spring break. Padre baby.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
I'm sick of trying to defend their pathetic road showings.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Why is it that every road game, someone just doesn't show up? It's like everyone has to take their turn except Burke. Tonight it looks like THJ is on duty.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
Can we get a Brady Hoke half time pep talk please? Or a Novak freakout? That would be nice
February 12th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
um yikes
February 12th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^

100% Agree, case and point look at Kentucky, I mean they had a hell of a recruiting class and look where they are now...
February 12th, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^
they were all freshmen then and won it all. this argument is invalid.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
Rutgers is representing the B1G well. Wait, they are losing too.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
i'm sure Michigan will cut it down and end up losing by 5 or so.. so sick of the games ending this way

THJ rumored to be injured. Not participating in warmups per twitter
