MBB vs. MSU Game Open Thread
OK, we're almost an hour away from the biggest game in John Beilein's Michigan career, which makes it just about the biggest in recent Michigan Basketball history. For some of you, you might not have been alive long enough to remember anything bigger. If we lose, we can probably pinpoint bigger games, but if we win, and can follow it up with a Tourney appearance (showing going isn't just a fluke), turning a corner (if not actually catching up) against MSU, which can only help on the recruiting trail, and to basically not have all the positive momentum derail, there's no way to overstate how big that would be. Which makes this afternoon BIG. If ever we needed basketball to GO BLUE, it's today. Let's do it.
You probably don't belong in this thread.
At least not right now.
Good thing you're not on the committee.
Fuck you
doesn't deserve to get into the tournament.
some of these bastards out?
Thank you. Much better
I muted the game on my laptop because the announcers are just infuriatingly dumb.
That's right boys - keep scoring and forcing MSU to follow suit.
Also, it would be nice if we can start fouling out these clowns -- Lucas, Rowe, etc. all have 4 fouls on em. GET THEM OUT!
Post Darius up on Lucas. Kick it out. Profit.
what's the over/under on how many more times Hardaway gets called Rice?
Can the announcers get off of MSU's dick PLEASE? K, thanks.
could use one of the upperclassmen make a play this half
What surprises me is that this MSU team has a lot of older talent, yet is playing really scared outside of Lucas.
That is all.
Drink.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHIGAN!
HA! HA!
They have got to do a better job on the defensive glass.
We've got them where we want them, now we just need to finish them off by making our free throws.
I haven't felt this way since the Illinois game in football.
Here's another chance to burn 32 seconds off the game block.
=D
The announcers are treating state like the main characters in this game because they've been one of the best teams in the nation the last decade. We can start to change that trend right now. FINISH THEM!!!!
This is not the same cheer squad as in football season...
Please
get on the glass please.
quit standing around and go after the ball!
That's a dumb foul by THJ. 4 on him.
It's back!
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE foul for Hardaway there. UGH.
WAY too many 2nd chances for State. It's scary.
God this team is young and it shows at the worst times.
Can we go 20 seconds without giving them a foul?
What a time for our rebounding to desert us.
Izzo looks like such a d-bag
Holy fucking shit. That's, what, 5 offensive rebounds for State on this possession?
Get a goddamn.
Big turnover after giving up a bunch of offensive rebounds, State still doesn't score.
Did D-Mo pick up his pivot foot there? Good thing he was fouled.
Wow, I don't think the refs realize that this is a MEN'S basketball game....
Morris extends it to a 3 possession game.. Michigan jumpball!
burn that clock
Make. Free. Throws.
Would have put it away.
Morris was sucker'd in to take a shot.
Suck it up blue minute and a half
Summers just got it handed to him by Izzo!!!
