Michigan vs. Syracuse NCAA Tournament Game 5 Open Thread
Game coverage technically an hour away. But we know it'll be more with a latter tip as the current game runs long. But this is how the first 4 have gone (early thread), so I'm not changing. Somehow we need to counter the jinx of an early preview on the front page, and show the great basketball gods that this is the sincerest board and they can shower us with presents if we sit in the patch overnight. So that Liveblog better be up soon. Talk Michigan if you can't wait, or head over to the first game thread while it's going. Everyone hyping the 2-3, saying no one can handle it, and it's a great season no matter what. But we're there, and there are no Kentucky juggernauts this year....and who knows who stays? Might as well win it this year. Why not us? Four down, two to go. Go Blue!
Hey more commericals, awesome!
Does anyone know what kind of defense Syracuse runs?
WE ON BABY! GO BLUE!
Isn't that a girls name
I like our chances.
Michigan has more fans I think, is louder for Michigan players.
GO BLUE!!!!!
I love the look of all their faces
"This is Michigan."
Is this the 25th or 26th commerical break, I lost count...
274th
I love this team
Mississauga Ontario?
All these commercials are making me nervous
Start the damn game.
Pissing my pants in anticipation.
LET'S GO
At least they got the REcall
McGary 2 blocks already...
MCGARY IS AN ANIMAL
LETS GOOOOOO
it doesn't seem like they're running a play
Puppy workinnnn!!!!
I like this McGarrity guy.
well apparently if you take 3 steps after the foul and then make the basket it counts
Was continuation.
hard foul after the whistle blows? What's to lose.
As the went to timeout Beilein was telling Stauskas he has to take that shot.
This zone sucks....
I think the zone is going to allow us a lot of put backs. Just got to make them when we get them.
so we throw it back out and find ourselves back where we started from.
this zone really seems more like a 2 2 1 than anything.
They're playing awfully high up. Would also like to see Nik in the corner.
not to mention where he's at right now isn't effective.
Is what its hyped up to be. It's killin us on offense. Gonna have to rely on us hittin our shots and defense creating offense
Not a fan
need to pick and roll like normal.
that a boy Mich
poor help defense there
Trey too amped.
But we're out-hustling them but if we can play good D against their bad O and get some easy baskets, we can do this.
So when three guys land on McGary, that's clean right?
We have to make shots.
You don't say?
Yeah that's what I said buddy.
Miss please
Michigan has definitely came out cold
Fair is pretty good.
Not looking good....don't have any answers for this zone if they arent hitting shots.
