Basketball: FSU thread

the stream is titled: College Basketball 2013 Puerto Rico Tip-off: Second Semi-Final.

Hold a grudge, much?

Commentator 1:  FSU might be the biggest team in the country.

Dackich:  And they're big too!

??

is watchespn giving an error code for anyone else?

just kidding it is working now

...

Levert NO chance there.

or we'd be up 6

Sloppy series there..

How do they miss that travel.

Walton sometimes needs to just take a step back and slow down. He'll adjust the more he plays, but it's always a little frustrating.

we will gladly put your bigs in foul trouble

Ojo on FSU is a large man.

I can't really see anything Irvin is doing to warrant playing time.

we need another big in the game

This pace of play is not favoring Michigan.

Defense is just below average right now. Everywhere

WHOOOOOO

FSU seems too tall at this point in the game. When the three's aren't falling the offense looks lost.

Can't shoot, can't defend, is allergic to rebounding...

Kinda off topic. Is this tourney even worth it to put on/go... No one has been in attendance any game

is very long and athletic at all positions.

McGary is my hero

Spike! looking good

Come ON~

Those back to back plays 

Spike to McGary for the slam

McGary to Spike for the reverse 

will be one of the best back to back plays this year.  I want those two plays .gif'd together.  Awesome!

Someone needs to put a firm elbow/shoulder into their skinny ass center

Let's GO Morgan..Big minutes here.

Offense seems to run smoother with Spike on the floor over Walton to me. This is only the second game I have seen though. Irvin doesn't look all that impressive either.

Think of Bunny Colvin when they see FSU's head coach?

an entire career of not being able to finish. Love the guy, but sheesh.

GRIII has not looked like a first round draft pick so far this year

Are you kidding me?

I don't think it would be possible for Morgan to go up for a dunk any slower than he did on that last play.

if our threes aren't falling we're in big trouble against FSU.

Another stellar game from GR3.

Jesus make wide open shots.  Not gonna win this game if they don't.

Missing open shots, and not getting back in transition.

No defense is putting us behind and then we're throwing up too many bad shots trying tom catch up

Give me horford-McGary-spike-Walton-Nik. We need size and playmakers out there right now

Rims are not being friendly to us..damn it all

Oh. These guys are good. How are they not ranked? Everybody stay calm. Lot of time left.

Well this is upsetting. Defense looks lost. Offense looks lost. 

of a very long year in Michigan sports.

GRIII's disappearing act is second to none.

Will we ever beat a quality opponent this year in any sport?

Our defense looks pretty lousy.

Shots aren't falling.

Defense might not change too much but shooting has to improve.

We don't have any identity and guys don't know their roles.

It'll come, but they're going to be absolutely frsutrating to watch until Late Jan/Early Feb.

Their bench is destroying ours.

And GR3 is having a horrible game so far. 

On FSU may actually be the incredible hulk.

Levert is an NBA player.  Not this year, and probably not even next b/c of his size, but he's going to the NBA.  He has the skills and agression needed on both ends of the court.  Another incredible Beilein pickup.

With out Burke it looks like this team will go back to just chucking threes. If the shots are falling Michigan might be able to beat any team in the country. If not, well.....yeah.

Are OK. FSU will cool off eventually. I think we will go big out this timeout. We need to keep it around 6-8 by halftime. Cheer up everybody.

Can we please start feeding McGary?  He's the best player out there

NOw that was a transition bucket.

Mitch McGary is the leader and heart of this team. There is no question about it.

Mitch is MOTORING!

I'm just glad Ojo is so raw that he really can't do much offensively for FSU

Mitch is so much fun to watch.  

Is my favorite basketball player of all time.

hard!

Without him Michigan would be losing by 20+.

Its amazing how different it is listening to Dakich call a Michigan game this year as compared to last year.

Wow, the only thing more pathetic than our half court offense this game is this thread. You guys are some seriously depressed pessimistic people.

And agression GRIII was suppose to show this year. Looks like the same playet from last yr

So many wide open bricks.

Why can't we shoot at all right now..start hot but now can't get anything..

GRIII mad skillz there

Irritating - we miss a wide-open look from 3 and then they make an NBA-ranger.  

Well, that's a frustrating last minute.  Force them into a junk possession and they hit a long three, we miss a couple open looks.

6 point swing at the end of the half there, Walton misses a wide open 3 and their guy hits a contested one from 25 feet. They're getting the breaks right now.

Florida State is chucking up bullshit left and right.  This will not continue.  I'm not saying Michigan is going to win but FSU will not keep making these ridiculous 27-footers.

What a shitty performace.

Meh they won't keep up 60 percent from three. Keep feeding Mitch and we can pull this back

In their right mind would take GRIII in the draft?

I wanna see Stauskas working with McGary in the second half on offense

Does GR3 still play on Michigan?  He is non-existant against any team that has a pulse..  I guess i should of expected it.. Same way as last year, no improvement..  Can't believe people talked about him leaving for the draft

So fucking reliant on 3-pointers. We have guys with the ability to go to the hoop, yet we never do. Fucking brilliant.

Has as many rebounds as Walton. What a joke. He's supposed to have improved his ball handling and shooting but I see the same player as last year.

Reading this thread you would think Michigan is down by 40 with 2 minutes left in the game.

Quick check:

Michigan effective FG% - 43.33%

Michigan off. rebound rate - 26.09%

Michigan def. rebound rate - 75.00%

Michigan A/T ratio - 2.25

Florida St. effective FG% - 61.11%

FSU off. rebound rate - 25.00%

FSU def. rebound rate - 73.91%

FSU A/T ratio - 2.00

I think I'm done with the message board until such time as moderating returns. I'll read The original message, but the comments man...the comments have to go.

Why can't we shoot..

Needs to wakeup right now.

!!!!!

Wow. What an awful call.

That is a terrible terrible call

fucking suck

This officiating is complete and utter fuckballs.

Refs suck. Water is wet. NCAA BASKETBALL LOVE IT!

Call a fair game refs, terrible sequence.

wtf refs

This is bullshit

out of the game please

They can drop a shot in over anyone and then Walton tries to shoot a jumper in the face of a 7'3'' player

Fuck this team.

He just looks lost.

Regardless of missing a lot of shots. There is no excuse for piss poor defense

The team isn't as good this year. Stop whining like little bitches and deal with it. 

Walton needs to SLOW. THE. HELL. DOWN.

Walton is making some bad decisions.

But we're going to struggle like this against length and athleticism all yr...

But I will say the these refs are full of shit. Either call it tight or don't u can't pick and choose. I have yet to see a well officiated game this year

Really starting to not like Robinson as a player. He looks indifferent and frankly pretty lazy.

Plays zero defense.

Ray Liotta would be proud, I need some 1800 right now after watching these refs let FSU flail their arms all over the place with no calls

you don't see him. he doesn't do anything.

We really miss Trey's penetration.  Even against 7 footers he would drive it deep in the paint and be a legit threat to put it up as well as kick it out.

is the moving picks by their bigs, just horrendous

All the people drawing negative conclusions about this team need to keep in mind that this team is actually younger overall than last year's team, which was pretty young to begin with.  This team will get better.  

Nice touch Mitch

McGary by far the best player on our team.

Can McGary please touch the ball on every possession? 

Refs minus every point ever

The whistle AFTER the ball doesn't go in HAS to go. It's one of the most frustrating calls in sports.

FSU is the better team right now, but these refs fucking blow

Wow what does that ref think he sees that the ref below doesn't?

Dakich is so annoying.

Made free throws are a beautiful thing

Not just a shooter. Whoa!

Good goodness!

/notjustashooter'd

That's what people think GR3 should do when he drives. Or can do

into their lead more, D up boys

Why can't Glenn do that?

Blouses!!

Light it up!

Dakich: I'm not going to bore you talking about how he is actually athletic, but he's not just a shooter.

Not just a catch and shoot guy. Drink!

Back to single digits. 

Florida State is a pretty darn good team, this is obvious.  However, they will lose some games to some bad teams this season when they aren't making these complete horsefuck shots.

Sigh.

GRIII has to be more aggressive

Ok; I've been watching GR3 the last few possessions.  The guy is not hustling.  Not closing out hard; not cutting hard, standing around.  You'd think with all the scouts in the building he'd try and do something...

ass dude of theirs is getting away with a lot of shit, like traveling, moving picks, flailing arms, etc., just bull shit

This on ball D has to get so much better! I mean Horford gets beat by a slow ass center off the dribble and gets everyone rotating on their heels. These types of things can't happen, especially when not only the great athletes are beating us

Stauskas is starting to get some confidence. Good to see. Needed someone else to step up besides McGary.
