Michigan vs. Illinois Game thread 12p FS1
Livers is back in the lineup. Let’s hope that’s the good Mojo we need to get back on track
January 25th, 2020 at 12:31 PM ^
Hahahaha fuck
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
this shooting is a damn joke
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
Nice shot. 3 feet short
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
Jesus, we have to lead the nation in air balls, absolutely embarrassing.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
Oh my god...
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
And Brooks airballs a wide-open 3. Shoot me.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
Can’t buy a basket. This is flat out bad.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
Nobody wants to shoot.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
January 25th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
For those begging for Zavier to sit, we got exactly 1 basket and zero FTs with him on the bench in that stretch. He's not the problem.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
man, all three of livers' shots have rattled in and out.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
Wow - long rebound and instead of Simpson accelerating to the bucket for a 3-on-2 transition bucket he jogged up the court and kicked it out to Brooks who took a shot that grazed the bottom of the rim, basically an airball. Yuck. Scoring points is like pulling teeth with this team. PUSH IT WHEN YOU CAN.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
UM is shooting 28% from 3 since the Louisville game. I excluded the games against Presbyterian and UML.
They shoot an average of 25 3's per game and make 7 of them. So that's the baseline right now...7-25. Not too hard to figure out why this team is on a losing streak. They're not good enough to overcome those shooting numbers.
And today...1/10 from 3 and 5/24 overall. That's just stupid bad...for a high school team.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
5/24 from the field and 1/10 from 3. Worst shooting team in Michigan history?
January 25th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
This team flat out stinks. No ref excuses, road game excuses, Livers excuses anymore. They just blow. Simpson is a liability.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
This team has problems scoring. Unfortunately, it also has problems defending.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
Yep...they had SOME problems scoring last year but the defense was good enough to overcome it most of the time. This year...not so much.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
Thank you!!!!! Put the ball on the deck and drive hard to the rack
January 25th, 2020 at 12:35 PM ^
keep feeding teske with their big guy out
January 25th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
So much for that! But love this idea
January 25th, 2020 at 12:35 PM ^
Maybe we should give Brooks more looks ...
January 25th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
A pump fake 3 followed by a drive and a layup for Brooks. Highlight of the half for me. Need way more of that. At some point you have to stop side stepping after the pump fake, or pump faking and passing around the horn. If they aren't dropping, you pump fake and drive.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
WHY AND HOW ARE WE FOULING THERE?!!! So fucking stupid...if it was even a foul which, I didn't see
January 25th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
For a team that can’t score in the half court, you never see these guys push transition like they should
January 25th, 2020 at 12:39 PM ^
Maybe this is just confirmation bias, but it feels like the team pushed it in transition a lot more at the beginning of the year than they do now. I remember them frequently getting down the court quickly against Gonzaga. Now they seem to go much slower.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
Season started out so promising. Injuries didn’t help but this team crashed and burned hard. Have to make the tournament next season. Can’t miss the tournament 2 years in a row. Hopefully softball does well this season.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
I miss the days when we played D
January 25th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
Player extends his arm as far as possible to push off Brooks, no call and they get a bucket
January 25th, 2020 at 12:39 PM ^
Right!
Even me off 2 Stellas saw that clear as day.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
It looked like a 15 yard illegal hands to the face penalty.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:54 PM ^
Lmao it actually did. Good call
January 25th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
I imagine Josh Christopher will be like Dosunmu. God it’s a beauty to watch.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:40 PM ^
Better, with an outside shot to boot!
January 25th, 2020 at 12:40 PM ^
wagner has such a weird shot. i've never seen a guy with his feet so far apart when he sets up for a jumper.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
Yep, Franz has poor square up on his shot, always rocking side to side.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^

January 25th, 2020 at 12:41 PM ^
Can’t trade buckets at this point
January 25th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
NIT, here we come!
January 25th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
Right now, Illinois is 8-18 from 2, and we are 7-17. So, basically a wash.
They are 3-5 from 3 and we are 1-11.
Brooks air balled a wide open 3. Teske barely caught rim on his last one. It’s not like Illinois has great 3 point defense. We just can’t shoot. It makes the Bahamas trip incomprehensible in retrospect.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
DeJulius defense leaves a lot to be desired
January 25th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
This team was bad offensively last year but they had the 2nd ranked scoring defense in the country. This year UM has the 205th ranked scoring defense.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
Why can’t Michigan get home cooking?
January 25th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
Do we run any type of offense? It seems like it's mostly just a bunch of isos with some kick outs.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:45 PM ^
They definitely run offense. Right now they don't have anybody that can do anything with the sets that they run.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
wake the fuck up wagner
January 25th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
Seriously
January 25th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
I don’t understand Wagner giving up the baseline like that w/ no help under the basket.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:47 PM ^
They're picking on Wagner big time.
January 25th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
We are just not athletic enough ! Our guards get taking off the dribble over and over . We need to actually run some sets . Shooting threes with 3 on shot is not working
