Al Borges' fault

If it makes anyone feel better, Syracuse is down to Cornell at halftime 38-32.

Is Michigan State playing defense?

Is Michigan State playing defense?

The camera work during halftime has been nothing short of fascinating.

It will find me.

GRIII still can't create his own shots, even against UML no less. Now that he's the main offensive weapon until Mitch is back, that's a little concerning.

Sheesh our play is almost as bad as these announcers and both are more entertaining than this half time show of playing with the focus zoomed in on a piece of plastic on a blue thing.

Trey and Timmy on offense.

Bacari Alexander!

Airball, then steal/layup.

Mills:

 

"I feel like the Wolverines are playing a little stagnant on offense."

 

Ya don't say?

Both swear a lot and cry at the same time.  Please fix this fast.

Mo Ways just scored a 66 yard TD against the school I used to coach for. Country Day leads 21-0 in the 2nd qtr of their District Final playoff game.

First entry pass we've seen all night.  Now Horford might not be a weapon in Big 10 play, but he's got a size advantage on their whole team tonight.  Not a bad idea to at least work him a bit and see what we can come up with.

My wife just walked through the room and said, "Wait. Is this game live? I thought they were just talking about a game that had already been played."

The loss of J-Bart is really showing. Nobody is blogging out there.

score?

He brought the bad football mojo with him!     kidding, we all know you only have to watch the last two minutes of any bball game....

at the half.

Doom....... And fire Beilien.

"Shot cock."

 

Classic.

Doom....... And fire Beilien.

StudentU cant even get the score right.

The dreaded shot cock violation.

Unless you're just listening to them for comic relief, it's worth your time to sync the video stream with the MGoBlue audio.  It's approximately 7,207 times better.

The radio and video feeds are reporting different scores.  It isn't the first time the video feed has had the score wrong, but sheesh.  I saw earlier Michigan lost a point for missing a free throw.  

Much more active on defense in the second half, shutting down some of the driving lanes we saw too often in the first.

 

I still wouldn't say the offense looks crisp, but at least they're going inside more often.

Cease running around screaming and panicking. Michigan is starting to run them now.

42-25..

Morgan picking up where he left off

About the likely outcome.  But I am a bit uncomfortable about where this team is at right now.  We have a long way to go before we are ready for Duke on December 3.
