Talk about the game, etc. I'm sitting at home doing math homework and watching the game. Distract me, talk about how small we are, praise Air Canada, and the like.
...talks about how UConn hasn't been in contact and how they're out. (HT: UMHoops)
LLP continues to suck. Where is Shep!?!?!?!

a bucket. What happened? I guess that's the reason he left AZ. I thought with him practicing with the team, that he would be in rhythm. Maybe next year?

the only thing keeping up in this game is purdue's suck
harris has looked confused and lost the last few games
sheppard!!! what the fuck is he doing out there???
With Merritt never looking for his shot, whenever he is on the floor it's a 4-on-5 situation for the Wolverines.

OOHHHH!!! ZACK!
Shep with a nice three as well.

Way to go 2nd unit!!!!!!!! Great job!
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
holy shit, we look like a D-1 bball team again
I swear there HAS to be a conspiracy in the B10 against Manny Harris. The kid gets manhandled every game and gets next-to-no calls. He tries so hard and gets nothing for it. It's gotta wear on him.
Meanwhile, every ref in the nation sucks Hansbrough's cock every game to the tune of at least 10 FT attempts...a lot on bullshit calls. It's disgusting watching a UNC game on ESPN, nothing but a Hansbrough-lovefest.

Yep, it's ridiculous. I just hope JB is telling him to keep taking it to the hole and at the same time he's in the officials ear about how ridiculous it is that Harris is getting raped anytime he touches the ball.
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
take it back. shep is surprising me right now. lets hope he keeps it up. now only if wright could get his head out of his ass!!!
Shep can be a quality scorer inside for us if given the chance. He's a good finisher in the paint, we just have to find looks for him. We'd have a nice lead if we could shoot a decent percentage from trey land.
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
Sims and Harris should practice dribbling around cones. Their ballhandling is just awful.
harris is 100x better than last year, i would hold my breathe when he would put the ball on the floor
lol

if michigan wasn't playing i would call this game the most boring basketball game ever, since they are it's just one of the most boring basketball games ever. we're not going to hit 30 before the half
Hey, we beat UCLA by a score of 55-52. Anytime we're in the game with a strong opponent, it qualifies as an entertaining game.
wow, weird end to the half, i'll take it
Yeah baby! Way to turn that half around Blue!!! Need to keep the intensity up and cut back on the turnovers next half, but given the half Manny had and the fact that we have a lead, you gotta love the result so far.
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
So true. If we would take a breath and make sure we've got a handle on the ball after steals, we'd have at least a few less turnovers, and the possessions that go along with them.
I'll take being up by one after a half like that any day.
Not looking ahead or anything, but a commentator just mentioned what a great job Beilein was doing this year. It kinda made me realize that this game is on National TV and thus we'll be getting some good recognition from it. A win on national TV on the road is a pretty good way to stop the bleeding and build a resume.
Heck, even keeping it close is important.
Can you imagine if the OSU game or the PSU game was on National TV? *shudders*
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
Manny at the line! A miracle! :)
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
F this. Bullshit. Sure it's high, but flagrant!?
Fucking bull shit. Unbelievable. You can't eject a player for that. Fucking ridiculous.
A play that happens 30x a game is suddenly a flagrant foul?! It was an accident that deserved a foul, and that's it. Ridiculous.
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
Unbelievable. No way is that grounds for an ejection. You can get ejected for an accident?
manny got tossed for that??? what the fuck is wrong with basketball now???
Just when we were gonna take control of this game and get a good lead.
This is SUCH garbage! I cant believe they threw him out for that!!!
I hope coach comes out and makes a statement about this, because that was ridiculous and will probably cost us the game.
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
Bob Knight was correct when he said the refs would be the pontiac game changers on gameday this morning
So does this mean Harris is automatically out for the next game?
the refs are handing the game to purdue. i would love to see the foul totals
Tressel's vessel can sail far, far away!
I can't believe this. He tried to clear space and hit the guy in the face by accident . . . okay, that's a foul. But an EJECTION? Shouldn't there have to be malicious intent?
No Zach Novak, no Manny Harris for the 2nd half. We are going to need somebody to step up BIG TIME!
10 fouls on Mich, 6 on Purdue
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
on the purdue end blows the whistle everytime down court. this is horseshit
Tressel's vessel can sail far, far away!
I'm in L.A. so i stuck with the crappy pac 10 game on cbs...
i'm glad that it was chris kramer that took the elbow. i hate that fuck!!!
Well, this is about to blow up
Beilein should call a full timeout now!
Edit: Wow, big big hoop and harm from Shep
It's Great to Be A Michigan Wolverine
just came back. did he throw a novak elbow?
He caught the ball with his back to the basket, pivoted and swung the ball high, hitting his defender in the face. The Purdue guy got a bloody nose and temporarily went to the locker room (he's now back). It was an accident and should have treated as such - an offensive foul and nothing more.
They're acting like he's fucking Pat Tillman now too, showing his poor Mom, going ballistic every time he does anything. Fuck CBS.
Ugh, what an awful starting lineup. What an awful start. Does John Beilein go out of his way to make the smallest lineup possible?
