MBB vs. Kansas Open Thread
January 9th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
There's no restricted area for college basketball. They need to do it NBA style so Duke can't come in near the basket to take a charge.
January 9th, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
They want refs to call blocks/chargeswithout the help of restricted circle that they employ in the Association.
Typical braindead NCAA.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
I think the refs need all the hope they can get.
January 9th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Those Maize unis look so awesome in HD.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Imagine how awesome they would look in the Big House with the addition of a winged helmet!
January 9th, 2011 at 5:25 PM ^
Are you implying that we need maize football unis? Phil Knight, is that you?
January 9th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Finally!
January 9th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Thank you Hardaway.
January 9th, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
Stu is having a tough time keeping the ball on drives.
January 9th, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
I like him driving to the hoop, but he needs to have better control.
January 9th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
Morris could have a sweet sidearm drive for disc golf
January 9th, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
I heard there was going to be an announcement at halftime of this game.
"Please Michigan fans, recycle your water bottles."
January 9th, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
that counts for something, right?!
ugh!
January 9th, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
Not a big fan of him just setting screens at the 3 point line all day...Get that man in the post.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
I don't really understand basketball or JB style basketball, but what is that supposed to open up?
January 9th, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
2-12...damn we need to get it going.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
i like the 1-3-1
January 9th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
Did anyone else just see Lloyd Brady in the middle of the Maize Rage? lol
January 9th, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
we look awful on offense. This is sort of Amaker-esque, in terms of just lacking any plan. They're just passing it around the perimeter. Then of course the late chuck-up-a-three
January 9th, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
So, does DB pull the trigger on JB if Michigan doesn't make the NCAA's, or have a good showing in the NIT, this year?
January 9th, 2011 at 5:04 PM ^
I think I can only deal with one major coaching search at a time.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:08 PM ^
Maybe we can do a 2fer again. Who's the coach of LSU's basketball team?
January 9th, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
This team is NOT making the tourney, and I'd say it was 50-50 whether we'd make the NIT going into the season.
Any postseason victory would be beyond expectations. Whether you like him or not, JB's not going anywhere for a couple years.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
We are a group of freshmen and sophomores playing probably the most athletic/talented team in the country. Let's try to avoid making any long term decisions based on this game.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
It's not just this game. I seem to recall last season being, well, terrible.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
are a step above this team. Kansas is good, but OSU and Duke have future NBA stars. Marcus Morris is an NBA talent, but not a star.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
No no no no no.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
KU's defense is ridiculously stifling.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
some credit as well, they are playing great defense. We knew winning this game was a longshot, still excited about the future of this team though. Just need a little more expierence, before they are ready to beat this kind of team.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:07 PM ^
Is that already 3 fouls on Smot?
January 9th, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
We need some athletes and size. Slow, unatheletic and small is not a good combination.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
The lack of athleticism is a bit more obvious when playing Kansas....
January 9th, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
These are the players JB recruited...
January 9th, 2011 at 5:15 PM ^
yet he gets a free pass.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
Thats b/c he is such a good shooting coach
January 9th, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
where those players are still only freshmen and sophmores? Kansas is vastly more expierenced than us, at this point. Not sure what people are shocked about.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:25 PM ^
The football team had the same issues and no one wanted to hear that argument. JB has put one team in the tournament....not great.
This team is young and should get better and I hope they do. Watching MMB get schooled in Big Ten play every year gets old.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:36 PM ^
Turn your nose up at making the tournament if you want, but that hadn't been done for a long time before Beilein and it gives him the luxury of the youth excuse this year. Rodriguez came in with higher expectations and unlike Beilein didn't deliver a thing. The analogy sucks.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
How many seniors are on this team again? How many juniors? Beilein wasn't brought in with the expectation that he'd make us Kansaslike.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
We were better under Amaker.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
lol. This is a tournament team next year and an NIT team this year. Amaker took us to 3 NITs and no Dances in 6 years.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
In order Amaker went 11-18, 17-13, 18-11, 13-18, 18-10, and 21-12. Beilein has gone 10-22 (worst season in school history), 20-13 and 15-17. I took out postseason play so not to inflate Amaker's great NIT success. In 3 years Beilein is 21-33 in Big ten play. Amaker was 23-25 through 3 years. They both inherited very bad teams. The facts say you are an idiot my friend.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
Are an idiot.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
That they are and nothing against any of these kids but they are overmatched today and in against any other athletic team.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
Agreed. Completely overmatched as we go to overtime.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
With most teams, you presume "well if they're shooting this badly now, it has to turn around in the second half because they can't be this bad the whole game."
I'm pretty sure that's not necessarily the case with us.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
couldn't throw a ball in the ocean if they were on a boat at sea.
January 9th, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
This is ugly so far. Kansas's defense looks incredible.
