Teske is soft in the paint and Brooks is awful. Can’t wait for some elite blood.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
Brooks can’t buy one. Teske needs help.
Refs bad call on out of bounds sparks a 7-0 run for Mn
January 12th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
Nunez should never be on the court. FUCK
January 12th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
Terrible coaching on defense !
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Way to end the half like total shit and give them all the momentum. How was that not a foul on Brooks?
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Teske is getting backed down then turns and looks at the ref while Oturu still has the ball...wtf Big Sleep?
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Teske's post defense is an embarrassment
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
If it's not an uncontested layup, Brooks misses it. Eli, transfer now. You won't be getting minutes next year.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Wtf Ref he got run over.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
This team is just soft.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Brooks took a hard foul there. Not a very good offensive set though
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Why can't I watch this game on the btn+ app? This is bullshit.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:49 PM ^
Try Fox Sports’ app.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:44 PM ^
Wow, what a pathetic, almost disinterested, last 5 minutes . . .
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
Teske is way too soft defensively.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
Dude full on body checks Brooks ... no foul
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
I’ll say it again, Nunez is not a big ten caliber player. Give those minutes to Bajema. How hard can it be? Brooks sucks ass, nothing more than a bench player.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
WTF is wrong with this team on the road...??Squandered good lead per usual...One guy always goes off against us no matter what team and we have NO ANSWER...
January 12th, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
We have an answer. It’s called a double team, but Juwan doesn’t do it because his philosophy is “eliminate the 3 point shot”
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
It’s coaching malpractice at this point to not double team and have Nunez out there. I get coach trusts Teske but he’s just not a good post defender.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
DDJ should start the second half. Brooks is useless
January 12th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
He played like 6 minutes. He might be the best scorer on the team if he got time/shots. I love Juwan but his failure to recognize that one of the 3 best players on our team is still basically riding pine is starting to get to me.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
Yea this team is weak, jesus fuck. Up 11 down to 1. Weak.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
can We play any fucking worse these last 6 minutes. This team is so frustrating to watch. Howard’s decision not to double team is so fucking stupid I wonder if he is the guy to get us where we want to go.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
This is a bad take right now.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
We need to do better in the block. Let Oturu shoot jumpers. Stop playing up on him. Bad strategy
January 12th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
Not doubling a good big because you are worried that guys will hurt you for threes....is the basketball equivalent of letting a team run for 300 yards to stop their mediocre passing game.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
NBA strategy that doesn’t make sense in college since the shooters are not nearly as good
January 12th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
How was that not a foul on Carr? He ran over Brooks. Ridiculous.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
Really questioning the rotation of players. Where the fuck is DDJ? Why is Nunez in?
January 12th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
Juwan- Letting Williams score a career high is all my fault
next game: Allows Oturu to score a career high in the first half??♂️??♂️
January 12th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
Fuck this shit. Minnesota outside of their 5 is 3/15, Michigan is 6/14 from 3, but they only have a 1-point lead at halftime b/c Howard has allowed the 5 to score 20 in the first half alone. SO FUCKING STUPID. And get Brooks off the court. Wtf does he bring to justify these minutes?
January 12th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
Defense... Nunez is the problem.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Lol stop. Giving up 30 points at half on the road is a great thing to see. It’s just the offense missed a ton of layups. We should be up 10 and then no one would give a fuck about how they scored their points. Brooks plays better defense than any other guard we have besides X. That’s how you justify his minutes.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
They've refused to adapt on defense and continue to let one man destroy us every single time for easy points, while we have to work a lot harder to score on the other end. As soon as the 3s cooled off the offense stalled and the gap closed.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:56 PM ^
Giving up 30 points at half on the road b/c one player has 20 and the coach refuses to do anything to slow him down is not great to see. Giving up a 11-1/8-0 run to end the half so that a 11-point lead is whittled all the way down to 1 is not great to see.
January 12th, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
Plus, DDJ>>>>>Brooks. How does he justify playing more than DDJ?
January 12th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
As always our game threads remain delightful.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
It looks like the weird guys Izzo is gonna blame for this loss is his assistant coaches
January 12th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
Baffling Items List™️
- DDJ not getting a lion share of minutes at 1 or 2
- Nunez getting any minutes
- Teske post defense regression
- Brooks
- Rotations
January 12th, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
I can only think the rotations are to keep guys fresh for the second half.
I think Brooks just needs to shoot his way out of it. When he finds it again, M will be that much moer dangerous.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
Johns hit a three and then proceeded to sit on the bench for 15 minutes. WTF
January 12th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
On the bright side, michigan had almost as many points as staee has thru their entire game
January 12th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
Howard’s rotations suck. Nobody here should defend it. Why is DDJ not playing more? Am I missing something!?! It’s annoying seeing CC/Davis/Nunez getting minutes (more than just spelling Teske). Seriously, why does Brooks play SO MANY more minutes than DDJ? I gotta be missing something here...
January 12th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
He tightens the rotation in the second half to give the starters blow so they’re not tired
January 12th, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
That could defend the Nunez/CC/Davis argument. Not more DDJ is straight dumbfounding. I think after our main 3 (Livers, Teske, Z), he’s our next best player.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
Teske continues to be surprised when oturu spins
January 12th, 2020 at 1:49 PM ^
We looked faster and more confident most of 1st half.
Oturu will be in the League next year.
I have no idea what happened to our post D. Teske isn't play bad D. Everything is contested. Everyone is having the game of their lives against M.
How was that not a foul on 5 right before the half?! I also don't mind Brooks continuing to shoot. He has to work his way out of it.
Nunez looks lost. I'd rather try Bajema at this point.
I like what JH is doing, using a deep bench in the first half to keep guys fresher for the second. I think it'll help with recruiting - so many guys are playing and getting a chance to prove themselves. Best players finish, fresher.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:54 PM ^
A lot of Oturu’s stuff was uncontested. That was just really, really bad defense by Teske. At this point, if they aren’t going to double, shit, put Johns on him. It literally cannot get worse than Teske right now.
January 12th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
the bloom is off the Juwand Howrd rose...He just doesnt make necessary adjustments..and his choice of playing Castleton and Nunez and Brooks is baffling
