We used three of our timeouts in the first half. Why do people keep complaining about not taking timeouts?

People are complaining because we should have ran a set play at the end of the 1st half.
I think it is a fair critique...

Here I will remind everyone as I always do that beilien isn't going anywhere and this is what we are: a team that can beat anyone when we shoot lights out but can't hang with a top 25 team this year.

Shit is embarassing

Why is it impossible for me to go to bed? I already have a pretty good feeling of the outcome, I hate Tom Crean, but yet I am going to stay up and watch this game until the clock hits :00.

Keep resting Caris .... The stadium is prett full today. People wonder why people bail on this joke of a team - performances like this.

We need Caris back, badly. He would've sank a shot before the run got to 10 and stopped their momentum, he's really good at that.

This is a poorly coached defensive team. No one ever knows where to be. Whoever coaches that side needs to be fired on spot.

When you recruit 2 star athletes, this can happen. We can't stay in front on defense, and we can't get any penetration on offense. Complete mismatch at every position.

At least this should end the stupid talk that we are better without caris because we beat the three worst teams in the league I'm dogfights. This is a mediocre team that is bad on defense. Can't go 7 minutes without scoring we will never win on defense.

Yes—as well as the talk that fifty-eleven wins against sub-NIT opponents prove we're an NCAA tournament lock.

We have four guys surrounding the big men that will probably play in the NBA but we can't recruit a decent big man besides McGary who we had for like half a year...

We have zero (0) future NBA players on the floor tonight. Caris is the only player with NBA level talent. To give some perspective, McGary struggles to find playing time now. Burke comes off the bench and is often a liability on defense and inneficient on offense. Hardaway Jr. struggles to get playing time. Stauskas doesn't do much well at the NBA level, including shooting the three. If you think guys like Irvin and Walton are going to play in the league, you don't watch much NBA. They can't even stay in front of slightly above average college players.

What a shitshow, I left the room to put the kids to bed when it was tied, then I come down to this. Beilein is a great coach but holy crap someone has got to figure out defense.

One guy is up coaching his team, the other sitting on the bench just taking it. Beilein is a joke. Stop blaming the assistants. When Hoke coached football and we sucked it was his fault. But when we suck in basketball it's the assistants? Give me a break. John should never have got an extension

Will lose by 40 tonight and 50 on saturday to MSU. no excuse for that. JB can't recruit, and certainly can't coach defense. enough of this. 25-0 run. never heard of that in basketball.

Better get some Detroit kids because this team has no grit..If Indiana is on a 12-0 run somebody needs to put Yogi on the deck and give the troops a talking too, Jalen Rose style

Let's face it, Caris doesn't make that much difference on this team. He's good, but he can't carry a team like Burke could.

With Caris that run would've never gotten to 25-0. He plays solid defense and he's the only true shot-creator on this team. It's a totally diffent team when he's on the court.

When I tuned into the second half schedule, my first thought was 2-7 looked probable. I hope I'm wrong, but tonight certainly does not inspire confidence.

Beilein still sitting with his hand on his chin. Crean still coaching up 21. What a fucking joke. Beilein rode Burke to a national title game and Stauskas/GR3 to an elite 8. He needs to go.
