the refs have swallowed their whistles...
November 17th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
It's like playing at Wisky, except fewer fouls are being called
November 17th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
Ok so that was a foul?
November 17th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
Some nice home cookin' so far for Iowa State
November 17th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
Defense...ouch
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
It's hard to play defense when only one team is allowed to make contact.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
I wonder if we will see the 1-3-1 today?
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
Slow them down a little bit...I'd run it with LeVert at PG so he's underneath the basket.
Could be a nice change of pace to throw out there for a few possessions. I say go with it!
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
Forgot that emphasis on fouls.
Iowa St. has gotten away with at least 5-6 fouls meanwhile we've had 2 offensive fouls called on illegal screens.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
and I am ok with that, as long as they are consistent throughout the game....and they haven't today
November 17th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
especially the freshmen
November 17th, 2013 at 5:37 PM ^
We'll probably be fortunate to escape from Ames with a W. Kenpom has us at #16 and Iowa St at #32 and they're playing at home in front of 15,000 crazed corn farmers. It wont exactly be a bad loss if we lose
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
If there was a state of the thread done on this, it would be Disney compared to football.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
Have they even called a foul on ISU? They have gotten away with some blatent shoves under the basket on rebounds.
And than they turn around a call weak fouls on UM.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:37 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
What?
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
Pretty decent half. The refs aren't THAT bad and Michigan is hanging in there in a tough environment.
Going to be a great 2nd half.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
Calm down, this will be very good team by the end of the season.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
burn this man at the stake....BBBUUUURRRRNNN HHHHIIIMMMM!!!!

0/10 WEAK TROLL. TRY AGAIN
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
No argument I type could probably get through your thick skull so I'll leave it at that
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
Go away and never come back.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:54 PM ^
As expected; this is a tough game. This team will be in the top ten for most of the season. They're playing just ok and still only down 1 at halftime against a good team on the road. Step away from the ledge, bud. We're a good basketball team.
November 17th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
The men just a few months ago won Michigan's twelfth NCAA swimming & diving championships, the hockey team is currently ranked #2 in the country, and women's softball and gymnastics are national powerhouses, but don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:37 PM ^
We're in for a dogfight until the final buzzer. I'm just praying that we don't have a Wisconsin-esque ending to this game.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
The experience for Walton is going to pay off later, but Coach B sure left him in there a bit longer than he ought to.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
That "no hand check" thing they were suppose to be calling this year?
Not this game.
Not this arena
Not in front of these fans
Play on guys. As I predicted - this is exactly what we can expect when the B1G season rolls around. The refs are afraid to make the calls.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
No chance we stay this cold all game, only down 1 with how we're shooting, not too bad
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
Should be an and one
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
Spike got undercut, and no fouls
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
Spike seems older than a sophomore. He's a calming influence out there.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:46 PM ^
Well... he is. He was a 20 yr old freshman last year.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
Stauskus is a real weapon. Way beyond a "role" player.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
This is OK. Iowa St. hasn't shut us down, we're getting open looks, just missing. 2nd half and we pull away.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
I despise the new foul rules.
November 17th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
Give us a big 3 before the half!
November 17th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
Where was the foul? These refs are frickin terrible
