Michigan vs Maryland 8PM on ESPN Open Thread

Refs and 3s are keeping Maryland in the game. 

We haven't had a T in a few minutes.

With these asshats tonight, they might eject Wagner for that. 

It was Wagner's elbow 

Give me a break, the kid barely gets touched and now he’s over there drama. I can’t believe they even looked at this to see if it was a technical.

This game is annoying.  I know who's clearly played better yet it's only a 3pt game due to bullshit shots going down

The offense is just so noticeably worse without Dickinson.

What a pass!

Livers has got to get going 

Bad awareness by Smith there. Had a chance to hold it for essentially the last shot of the half.

No foul? Amazin’

1 on 4 fast breaks need fucking STOPPED

Maryland was 9-11 from 3. 

What's UP with those 3 pt shots of MD's?

How many fucking 3’s did they make?

So much for defense. 

Michigan is playing some of the worst transition defense I’ve seen.

Gotta play better defense

Superb pass by Franz.  I don't think I have every seen a team shot better 3s in a half than Maryland, yet Michigan up 2.  Maryland due to cool off a bit from 3 second half.  Good game so far.  Dickinson is excellent. 

wow 27 points off 3s.   Howard has to make a change on D

Maryland making some bullshit shots. No way they sustain that for another half. Michigan will pull away. 

Howard and staff make great adjustments in the second half. Terps are 9-11?  Come on, that can’t last. 

Maybe let’s start defending the 3 point line. 9-11. We just can’t keep giving them open 3’s

MD has 10 rebounds in the first half!! that's absurdly low. UM has only 15.

Will someone please wake Livers up and tell him there's a game going on. 

Open shots or not, I don't think I've ever seen 9-11 from 3.

Mike has played well this half...but this season he’s had possessions that make you scratch your head. No need to over penetrate on that last fast break. Could’ve passed or pulled that out. We went from potentially up 7 at halftime to only up 2 now. 

similar to the nebraska kid going off in the first half.

9/11 from three is not sustainable - i expect a fall off back to the mean after halftime...

Franz is looking good again, which is great news

I think the one statistic that defines the first half is Wagner's 3 assists.  Him serving as a point forward with Smith driving the paint.(with 4 assists of his own)..really seems to give this offense the oil it needs. Now if Brown can just get his O on track this game.  

What is Brandon Johns good at?

I wonder if Ace is second guessing his suggestion to play Brown more.  Been a rough game for him so far.  Any time he dribbles something bad happens.  

Dickinson needs to chill.  That T hurt us since he had to sit.  

I don't think any team can hit 85% from three and some of these a crazy makes.....but most were pretty open.  Our two point defense has been good.  Might be a record for first half blocks.  

I said this last game but livers has been disappointing so far this year. He has had a few good games but we need him scoring more. He only has 2 free throws tonight. Those were technical foul shots.
