Game Thread - Michigan (11) vs. Colorado St. (6)

so far, not good.  we've got the bad diabate and houston missed his first shot.  doesn't help that their shooters are cooking.  

Omg get the fuck out with calling that shit on Moussa when the last Dreb we had had a fuck ton more contact.

CSU shooting it early.

So far the smaller lineup is killing the bigger one. Hunter is terrible at defending the perimeter and he’s not giving enough on offense to make up for it. Diabate is even worse.

Moussa has to simmer down. 3 pt O and D looking very 2022 Mich basketball so far.

what a shock.  CSU is shooting 133% from 3.  

we just can't buy a break, can we?

CSU is on fire. Looks like we'll have to outscore them if we can't cool them off.

jeez. 4 3's already? cant we defend outside? theyre not a big team, so no reason to pack the lane. im watching on the interwebs (gamecast). but every time i look up. another 3! geez. i hope they get over their excitement and csu settles down a bit.

Another game, another opponent unconscious from 3. 

Our size advantage is insane. Gotta push it and not allow them time to set and pack it in. 

We just look bad on D. Confused, lazy, not communicating.

Defense hasn’t been too bad, but they gotta stop switching Brooks and Houstan onto Roddy. Not much you can do if guys are going to drill three straight triples over Dickinson. 

It would help if Frankie was any kind of outside threat.

Oh great, Colorado St. shooting lights out from Lake Michigan and our typical poor shooting returns 

while we're here.. i clicked box score and isaiah barnes name popped up. isnt he one of the froshies? has he played at all? is he just not ready? forgot completely about him. not saying that he should play today - just wondering where he's been

Come on, Houstan.  We need you.

Giving up Oreb to boot.  Fucking terrible.

This is a losing effort

seen this game before.  M dysfunctional the moment, no 3s, turnovers, letting OREBs against a team half your size.  this could get ugly without your senior PG.

I "enjoy" how csu keeps getting their own offensive rebounds..good times.

GRAB THE FUCKING BALL

Every weird ass rebound is going to them.

Bad Houstan

another turnover. yeesh. they should feed hunter until we open up shots. i know we dont hit many, but thats gota be the strategy if he's out there.

Good god, does Csu just shoot 3's only?!

I can’t watch Houstan anymore. 

Being out-rebounded...CSU has FIVE offensive rebounds

Beyond ridiculous!

Starting 3 freshmen and a sophomore is showing at the moment. Johns and Brooks need to settle them down 

I think we got this. Relax!

2 baskets then back to commercial. Gonna be a long march with the same 5 commercials.

It would be cool to hit 3s since I doubt we can actually play defense at a decent level the whole game. 

We really need to dominate the glass this game. They are so undersized.

Now that the Rams have cooled off from 3, we may be able to take control of the game.

GO BLUE and GO KOBE!!!

FFS, Diabate and Houstan brought their shit for brains game today. 

We need to make them take crappy looking 3's and we should be able to win this game but we're not rebounding or handling the ball well at all. 

5 offensive rebounds and 4 made 3’s while we are 0 for 4 from 3. Just like old times

I'm late.

Hands on this team sometimes is questionable 

So much stupid shit still...in March

  That's on Juwan.

Initial thoughts so far:

1.  Our defensive rebounding is pathetic.  So many DRebs for CSU.

2.  We don't have a go to guy anything close to Roddy.  Every good team has a go to guy.  We don't.

3.  Houston is still lost.  He really could have benefitted from a year in which he only played limited bench minutes.  Tons of freshmen are just not ready, and many end up having awesome careers, but he really needs to develop his game before next season.
