MBB vs. PSU Open Thread
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:56 PM ^
Big miss there. Make our free throws and we win.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
...is over.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Just can't make his FT's. Uncharacteristic? He shoots 70% from the FT line
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
is impressive, no doubt. Good game Blue!
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
God did we need this win! Nice to have something positive happen in 2011.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
Great response in the 2nd half. No Zone.
Much better job in the man and PSU came back down to earth shooting and took their rightful place as the worst shooting team in the B1G
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
This team's play might not be pretty, but goddamn are they fun to watch and easy to root for.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
Love the hustle this Mich team plays with. Lots of effort.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
Hail! Hail! Undefeated this Decade!!!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
Go Blue! 75-59 Michigan.

How many White Guy phrases can you use in one rambling sentence?
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
He's Gritty-gritty, bo-bitty, banana-fana-fo-fitty, me-mi-mo mitty, Gritty!
I guess that's only one, but it's a fun one!
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
rebounds like Charles Barkley. If Barkley was 6' 2", 190 pounds.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
At least I have MBB to get me through this tough time.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
Wow.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
We really needed that win! Tnx1G to the players!
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
Alright! A nice comeback win for the boys today.
Finally, something to take the stink out of the air.
BTW, did I see a senior citizen in the Maze Rage section?

That was Lloyd Brady. During the closing minutes of the bowl game, those in attendance were astounded as he visibly aged 60 years in 30 seconds.
It takes a lot out of a superfan.

great game for this young team, they really had to win this one to have chance to be successful in the big ten. Also the way they fought back in the second half was great to see, I'm excited to watch this team mature over the course of big ten play.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
57% from the floor, 40% from deep, and a perfect 14-14 from the line.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
I don't understand why it was as close as it was against Penn "every year promised improvement and continued suck" State. But then again I didn't watch it.
Still, no such thing as a bad big ten win. Go Blue!
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
Penn State starts 4 seniors, we start 3 freshmen, plus if Battle is on, he can keep them in a game.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
We had a lot of silly turnovers today - like plays where guys just mishandled passes out of bounds. Our TO total was about the only negative in our second half offensive performance. Otherwise we were terrific.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
I thoroughly enjoyed this well earned TEAM victory. For whatever reason, I never thought PSU was winning this one.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:03 PM ^
We needed this BADLY. We are facing an absolutely brutal three-game stretch starting Wed night.
Go Blue!
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
game. Loved the announcers talking up all the Seniors on Penn St. then the "kids" win the game !!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
can get a solid night from one of those freshmen and Morris/Novak can do what they've been doing I like this team to have an outside shot at an NCAA birth. 11-5 is a decen place to be and if they can steal one of the next 3 from Kansas, Wisky, and OSU that'd really help/
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:22 PM ^
Going to be tough, very tough to make the tourney this year, but next year.... Similar to the gridiron, there are too many teams at the top of the Big Ten, we just can't match up with, especially with our youth, but it is going to be fun to watch this team compete this season.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Trimmed down to 8 players today and Horford only logged 4 minutes, the other 7 all played at least 20 minutes, Looks like Mclimans is going to be the odd man out.
January 2nd, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
wins. For this team, all wins are good wins.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
So we just came from 5 at the half and then matched them bucket for bucket going back and forth withouth panic or choking and then pulled it out in the last 3 and a half minutes... That's what a good team does. I know Purdue made us look like crud, but still, this was a good win for the good guys! Well done Blue!
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
Crisler was pretty full save for the patches behind the baskets up in the gold seats. Pretty quiet until the end, but that is almost to be expected with the students still at home adding to the freshman 15. Scary first half, but bottom line they got the job done. In general, seems like 40% from 3=win. 5 more wins to post-season elegibility. Go Blue!
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:16 PM ^
Yeah, it definitely wasn't the same atmosphere as in the Purdue game, but the crowd did get into it down the stretch. Everyone - players, fans - seemed to be in a funk in the first half. PSU probably should have led by more than just five at the half. Beilein got them in gear at halftime and, aside from some unforced turnovers, that was a really nice second half. We got good contributions from almost everyone.

Can someone please start a new thread for tonight's bb game? I don't have the minimum points and I am hoping the bb game will have the chance of bringing some better news than our lovely cc mess.
January 5th, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
the front page is still on traffic-control measures, meaning starting new threads through the site is impossible.
we need someone with the iphone app to start the thread.
