Michigan v. sparty Game Thread
Mates,
We might as well have a game thread for this one. I should go on a walk with Mrs. XM, with the sun shining up north, but I won't until/unless we don't start out well.
Let's put sparty out of the NCAA. Go Blue, beat sparty!
Let's top off a fine weekend with another 'W'.
XM
HD always has that stupid foul 20 feet from the basket. If you are near the 3 point line, let it go. Don't swipe at shit.
These are the starts that will put us in trouble Round 2 and beyond
We still got this. The early season success of Davis in the second unit seems to have been a mirage. He’s struggling.
Honestly, I'm just hoping no one else gets injured in this game. The real work begins next week...I want this team to win all the Championships!
Did you just tune in? Brooks rolled his ankle hard and couldn't put weight on it going off the court.
He did say no one ese
Should say, "no one else." Fixed it!
Bank is closed for Hunter early on.
Dickinson is looking like Teske on the hook shots today. Good lord.
It'd be nice to see some shots going down
Why does Hunter need to dribble there?
Hunter is short on so many of those tough angle bank hooks.
I hate these games where Livers and Wagner are just invisible on offense.
Jesus christ Hunter's angles have been off the mark today
10 points in 9 minutes!
Now 10 points in 11 minutes, yeesh!
Out. of. sorts.
We look like runny dog shit.
Maybe sometime today they could hit a bucket?
a lot of lazy passes early on
Franz being sloppy right now.
The team just isn’t the same without Eli.
Missing everything. Wtf
Hunter needs to be careful around Sissoko. He'll break your nose.
This feels really bad...
Whatsup with these angles on the M shots? Did anyone check to see MSU didn’t put their hoop off center. Geez.
Energy looks like the Illinois game so far
It's Yosemite Tom!
I know MSU likes to foul centers like Dickinson, but likely not on offense
Playing and shooting like dogshit...somehow only down 3
M would have a comfortable lead if offense was functional at all.
Shots aren't falling. My taping's not working. The points aren't working. WHAT is goin' on?
Way too many offensive rebounds being allowed.
How can that be traveling if he doesn't have the ball?
HIs reputation travels with him
A: It can't, but the ref who called it was behind him and didn't see that he didn't catch the ball cleanly, just that his feet moved. Understandable, but you'd like it if the person calling traveling could actually see the ball.
they're calling fouls on the screens again tonight
Guys are tired! 4th game in a short time. Its showing
3 games in 3 days next weekend
Efforts fine - just shots aren’t falling. Law or averages will turn in our favor...
why doesn't Izzo get T'd up for the bullshit?
Wouldn't mind seeing Smith just stay aggressive and get 20+ today. Nobody else is asserting themselves offensively.
Offense is a mess, but Franz has like three blocks, two steals, and five deflections already. He's ridiculous.
He’s got a bit of the old AK 47 in him.
Shooting under 25% for the first 10 minutes isn't going to cut it in the tournaments. Sadly this has been the tendency since coming back from the layoff.
HD, livers, wagner are 2-11. i hope this isn't a repeat of ILL.
Seems like a lot of out of bounds calls that Michigan St. appears to have touched last. No replay CBS?
We are not the same team without Eli Brooks. Juwan's offense thrives on having two true point guards on the floor at the same time (and he's an underrated defender as well). Let's hope he's okay.
HD is NOT pro ready
Not a sense of urgency here in this game. But I’m not too mad about it.
