Can't remember the last time we won a close game after missing so many free throws.

He said something along the lines of Michigan doesn't win many big games. I guess he stopped watching the tourney last year after UCLA was eliminated.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
he was announcing the arizona ucla game and referenced arizona's quality win over michigan: a great program, but cant ever win the big game. That might not be verbatim. Had a little venom in the way he said it for sure.

After the M game, I flipped over to the UCLA-Arizona game, which was tied at the time. Despite that, I turned it off when I realized Walton was announcing. His antagonism towards Webber was the beginning of the end for me and Bill
January 9th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
He seems to hate Michigan for some reason. He always badmouthed the Fab Five.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:37 PM ^
I was just going to post something to that effect. I really wonder what his problem is with UMich.

Once I saw Bill Wlaton I stopped reading. I suggest this strategy for all not wishing to read utter nonsense from an aged dead head hippie.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:12 PM ^
Of course that tip in was not going to go in... it's 2014!!!
January 9th, 2014 at 11:13 PM ^
Yeah I think is quickly turning into a POS BANG! Any win on the road in the Big Ten is a big win!

*burp*

Anyone else as nervous as I am that Stauskas is heading to the NBA after this season?
I thought for sure he was going to be a 4 year player, now I'm not so sure...
January 9th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
January 9th, 2014 at 11:41 PM ^
You're absolutely right, he's one hell of a player.
I can't fault him for leaving if he chooses, he's got the talent to go.
I was just hoping he'd be one of those 4 year guys that you just dream about. Either way, he's got 100% support from me!
January 10th, 2014 at 5:41 AM ^
I'm not seeing him in any mocks. Love him now, I just don't think he's considered much of a NBA prospect.

Clutch shot by Walton a the end there, but it's starting to become a trend with him missing clutch free throws down the stretch. He needs to get that fixed ASAP.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
To be fair, I watched him clang a couple of FTs in the first half as well, so... at least he is consistent?
He is what, a 70% FT shooter? He should be better than that, especially if he is going to take the ball at the end of close games.

Double love for 2014 i just broke 1000 MGoPoints!!1

17 points/5 rebounds. With GRIII, frontcourt put up 36 points on lights-out shooting. Woud love to have more than 9 rebounds from that crowd, but as we play the more physical teams in the conference, would help if we can continue to get that kind of production.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:34 PM ^
TO rebound.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:50 PM ^
to include Jon in your stats--as Morgan was 15 pts and 4 rebounds
January 9th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
Love it!
Thank 2014, for reminding me what it feels like to win a close game rather than being on the other side.
I'll happily take a road win in the BIG ten any day.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
If there's any more reinforcement you need to know that 2013 sucked, it's the fact that beating Nebraska in basketball is celebratory thread-worthy.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
This team needs to shore up its defense - particularly in keeping other teams out of the lane. Nebraska scored on what seemed like 10 straight posessions down the stretch and most of those were layups. We did play good D on Petteway on the last posession but did not box out - frankly we are lucky their guy missed a bunny tip in...
That said, win's a win and on to the next one! Coach B please fix the D!
January 9th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
Maybe there really is something to this 2013/2014 thing... Excluing, you know, that whole Final Four run.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:32 PM ^
It was the Fall 2013 semester that was the problem.

Would have to take another look at it then. In live motion I thought it was weak. I was more so complaining about the refs during the Arizona game with that comment.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
January 9th, 2014 at 11:22 PM ^
I realize I'm an idiot, but I actually looked this up. Its the year of the horse. Why the long face?
January 9th, 2014 at 11:24 PM ^
January 9th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
I'm with ya. Cheers to the year of the Wolverine!
January 9th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
On another note, that was a pretty good game and Nebraska played pretty well. I'm glad M found a way to win down the stretch even if it may have been a bit harder than originally expected.

Jordan Morgan is one of the best at hedging the pick and roll in the big ten.
We were switching several of those (with Stauskas in particular), but we were getting beat off straight dribble penetration, not ball screens. Have been for a couple games now.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:53 PM ^
who stands too stiff to hedge or get back to his man. Couldn't be more wrong about Morgan--who hedges now and for the past 4 years about as well as anyone in the Big Ten.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:20 PM ^
GR3 - beast mode activated... and has been for about 6 games now. Today was the complete package, though.
Some costly turnovers late, but then that and-1 from Walton was huge.
We're still struggling at keeping perimeter players out of the paint... I wonder if some 1-3-1 will be in the future against the better teams.
January 9th, 2014 at 11:23 PM ^
January 9th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ^
Given the FT shooting, I am a hell of a lot more happy that the hoop went in and we got 1 shot instead of 2...
It was a great finish through the contact.
