Game thread: Michigan v Lipscomb

Vikings are about to pull off the biggest comeback in NFL history. Watch that.

Bufkin appears to be getting better and better. 

Bufkin looks good, McDaniels is having a freshman game. They're not playing good defense and they continue to be horrific on the boards, but the offense is getting good shots and good looks.

Michigan up 49-41. They look fine on offense and Bufkin looks great. The fact that this game is even close just kinda speaks to how mediocre this team is. I think they'll pull away in the second half, if they tighten up the defense. 

One positive though is that Howard seems to finally be willing to stagger the rotations and keep a couple more ball handlers out there as opposed to doing the complete second team sub with 1 of Bufkin/McDaniels out there. I think that's been good for having a continuously good pace on offense.

Samir’s friend Asadullah is playing for Lipscomb

Bufkin is the x factor this year. Plus defense and a legit 3rd option on offense

Williams is just not a big ten starting caliber player. 3 on 3 break and he forces up a garbage contested reverse layup and then on defense gets blown by. What a sequence. 

Will trade Baker for Pruitt 

We continue to struggle pulling away, it's only a 9 point game with13 to go. We are absolutely horrible on defense.

The line change substitution pattern is so annoying. You're not putting the backups in a position to succeed when they're all out there together

Woof

They continue to get rebounds, and have better ball movement, it's troubling.

This team es NO BUENO

Lead down to 4 with a little over 10 minutes to go.  As noted, our defense is leaving much to be desired.

I’m guessing that Khayat starts eating more of Baker’s minutes.

While I like him as a person, if Howard left, I’d be ok with that. The more he gets his players here, the worse the team gets. 

Stinky. This’ll leave a stain. 

Finals week must've been rough.

We'll go with that.

Hunter only having seven shots against this team with precisely one big is so dumb.  Consistent problem.

At the game.  The effort that this team gives on defense and defensive rebounding is terrible.  Our offense is all off the dribble stuff.  Lipscomb is actually running an offense with cuts and sharing the ball.  Hard to watch this team a lot of the time.

We def shouldn't talk about firing Juwan, but this team needs to improve drastically

We are currently losing to Lipscomb at home. 

Score?

The end of the UNC OSU game has been amazing... buzzer beater to take it to OT

My eyes are bleeding

It's frustrating to be losing to a team that lost to Alabama A&M and have that be the sequence that happens coming out of the timeout

Not to be negative, but this team isn’t very good. 

How is this team so bad at rebounding? Reminds me of early Beilein teams 

Is Juwan Howard our Patrick Ewing?

With under 7 minutes left, Michigan behind by 3 to a 4K student Church of Christ private school from Nashville.

SMH

Gonna need some voodoo to pull this out!

We continue to look like a worse version of last year's team. The recruiting strategy really needs to change to have better defenders.
