Michigan vs. Texas Tech Open Thread
March 28th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
I’m so exhausted with the commentators talking about TT’s unstoppable defense.
Our guys have totally shit their pants. They’re missing wide open shots, choosing not to drive to the basket for fouls, and passing the ball right into the defense....that’s not defensive prowess, it’s just simply bedshitting
March 28th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Right. TT's defense is horrible. Sure.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
Are you allowed to recruit one and done talent? I thought only dirty cheater teams like Duke were allowed to do that.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
I guess it's good that the only one with signs of life is a freshman?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
Fire Beilien, Fuck Poole, Iggy Sucks, Matthew's overrated.
/s
March 28th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
This is equally as embarrassing an effort as the Ohio St beating we took this year in football. This same team comes back next year, minus Matthews. Lol!
March 28th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Freshmen could get better but yeah the team will neee to shoot better from outside. Also defense will take a step back without Matthews next year.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:48 PM ^
It isn't because we actually achieved something by making the sweet 16. At the end of the day we can add something to the rafters. Football team didn't do shit.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
Since when have there been sweet sixteen banners in Crisler?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
A sweet sixteen banner? Do we have a “we beat UNC” banner too?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
That’s it. Good night. Fuck
March 28th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
I'm going to go full Honky Tonk Man and hit that Progressive Insurance fucker with that guitar.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Seriously this team flat overachieved to win 30 games with that offense? How’d they do it? Scoring droughts damn near every game since the first of the year!
March 28th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Well this opened up the weekend plans. :)
March 28th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Matthews should be staying after this atrocity. Nobody gonna draft a guard/forward who can't shoot the fucking ball, or drive it strong to the hoop.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:57 PM ^
His shooting probably is what it is at this point. I hope he decides to come back to Michigan, but maybe it might make sense for him to go play in Europe or something and start making money.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Who will be the guy who steps up and takes the reign next year? My money is on Iggy. Simpson, Poole, and Teske have a ton to work on.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
Need a freshman to step up. No faith in Simpson or Poole. I like Livers.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Just crazy how a team that won the first 17 games of the season is going to get doubled-up in the Sweet Sixteen by a team like Texas Tech.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
Not the same team since that start they’re 13-7 a little better then mediocre
March 28th, 2019 at 11:48 PM ^
well that sucked ass
March 28th, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
Iggy has 17. The rest of the team 16
March 28th, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
This team has choked all year. Had a chance to go to number 1 in the country and lost to wiscy. Could've at least tied for the conference even after losing 2 times to MSU but get blown out by a pathetic PSU team. Then of course lose 3 times to MSU despite having 5, 10 and 13 point leads in the second half of each game.
I trust Beilein to right the ship though. This was a weird year where we didnt have any shooters come back.
Just have to make it through another embarrassing Harbaugh season
March 28th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
We’re gonna have the same shooters on next year’s team unless young guys come out of nowhere.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
Why would matthews not use his final year of eligibility at this point?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
Maybe a wink and nod to get Matthew's out the door?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
This game fucking blows and even though it’s not over, it’s over. At the same time, I’m proud of our boys and anyone who says differently or negs me can find a different team to root for. We’re not going to get to the final four every year, and even though tonight’s outing was less than pleasing, we ran into a team who was more prepared/wants it more/has what it takes to take our team out. I love the Michigan sports community, but goddamn, it can be divisive and toxic. Everyone freaking out, stop drinking and go to bed.
As always, Go Blue!!
March 28th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
Yes always Blue! Love Z but in the college game you have to have a point guard that can shoot
March 28th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
I have a confession, I have been unreasonable tough on this team because I want us to win in basketball (so badly) to help make up for our futility on the football field.
For the love of god, please let our football team win the B1G and go to the college playoff this season.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
We need PG that can score
March 28th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
Z got merked tonight on both ends. No other way to put it
March 28th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
Just call it what it is, a complete and total Choke Job by everyone involved. Beilein, the game plan, the starters, the bench. Everyone fucked up tonight. No game plan, not effort, stupid play, just everything that could have gone wrong did. Embarrassing all around, everyone is responsible.
Don't sugar coat it....This team BOAT raced North Carolina and Villanova, they can play with anyone. They CHOKED. They were NOT PREPRARRED.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:55 PM ^
Eh we boat raced teams who had no film on us and Villanova was mediocre.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
For the love of God, score 40 freaking points at least!!!!
March 28th, 2019 at 11:53 PM ^
Fucking asshole commentators but whatever
March 28th, 2019 at 11:55 PM ^
Just making fun of the Michigan team at this point.
Can’t say they haven’t earned the criticism though
March 28th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
Tonight was just an unmitigated disaster. Nothing more, but nothing less, either.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:55 PM ^
I probably won’t watch but I’ll be curious to learn how TT plays against the Zags this weekend.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
Will they make a 3? 0-16. Pathetic. Recruit someone who can shoot the 3 and a PG that can score and play them next year
March 28th, 2019 at 11:57 PM ^
I'd take Duncan Robinson or Stu Douglas over Poole and I'm dead serious.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
We have some young guys who could be something offensively. DDJ, Livers, and Johns have the ability to be good. Camp Sanderson needs to do some work
March 28th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
Screaming lady is back.
Fitting.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:57 PM ^
After last year's loss to Nova, I said Simpson and Matthews need to shoot relentlessly in the offseason. After this game, I'm saying the whole damn team needs to shoot relentlessly in the offseason. To be fair, they both got better at free throws, but to have one good 3 ball shooter is just not good enough. They should look at getting a damn grad transfer if there is no improvement.
March 29th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
Who is the one? Livers?
March 29th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
Supposedly those 2 did now I’m not sure from how many feet out, but I would guess one was hook shots from 5 feet and in and the other about 4 foot jumpers?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
You watch...Gonzaga will drop 90 on these bastards
March 29th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
Weak team. Our tough players have so many flaws in their game, not winning anything meaningful. Hard to win when your best players suck at shooting.
JB, go get a grad transfer who is D-Rob 2.0. Freshman. Need big time development.
Oh, maybe when you get to S16, act like you want to be there and show up to play. TTU played so much harder. I love JB, but your team is flat, on you buddy.
March 29th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
We'll make a 3 with 12 seconds left, or something stupid like that.
March 29th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
This team scored 44 points in the first half against Nova, 39 points in the first half against UNC, and 44 points in the first half against Purdue. One of those teams is in the Elite 8 and another probably will be as well. The other team won their regular season and tournament conference championships.
Seriously, what the hell happened?
