Indiana - Michigan at Crisler Center: Game thread

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

IU's style of basketball kind of pisses me off in general, but I guess good for them when it works. I just find it extremely frustrating that Beilein can't get some athletic big men and have a team that plays better defense. I miss JMo more and more each year. The way this team plays is just hard to watch sometimes. They are just all over the place in terms of consistency. They pop out to these leads and then watch the leads get destroyed as they go on a shooting slump. Hopefully when they get Caris back he can partially bridge the gap between scoring bursts by the rest of the team. 

How hard is it to shoot a fucking free throw

I have never seen a team play basketball this badly and I have seen Buttgers play.

hadn't had one of those in a while.

These guys need to toughen up...Burke, Stauskas, Mitch played with an attitude

Derrick Walton is getting roasted on defense

Could Donnal look any more unathletic?

Indiana doesn't even have Blackmon this season do they? How embarrassing

I cant watch anymore..I give up on this team..we will get blown out by MSU and I cant see this team making the tourney....lets face it this is a BAD team

the whole shooting and defense thing aren't really happening

is horsecock

FUCK this team. No fucking leadership bunch of soft ass pussies standing around... Beilen needs to learn how to push some fucking buttons what a fucking disgrace.

Our shooting is off and it would help to have Caris back, but it seems our talent level is just not there.  Recruiting does make a difference.

Where's the fire? This team looks soft and frustrated on both ends. Short of hitting five 3s in a row, I have no idea how they'll get a spark.

Not a good night, we'll see how the boys respond on Saturday

We take way too many long 2's. Such an inefficient shot.

Stupid double post

Ugly game, pretty much the worst thing that could've happened tonight. We honestly need Levert in the worst way possible to be competitive against the top half of the B1G.

Our lack of athleticism is being exposed yet again.

The entire team should be embarrassed. Was there any preparation for this game? Humiliated on national tv.

Wow, we are just soft.

Caris absolutely has to play against msu even if he's 90 percent. What in the world could he possibly have hurt to be out this long.

Wow. Hard to watch

This is pure garbage.

Indiana shooting 77% inside the arc

Can we question Sanderson a little bit here? There have been lasting injuries to key players during his tenure here...

Levert has missed multiple games for a couple years now with an assortment of leg injuries.
Irvin began the year with an injured back.
Spike is done after hurting his hips (???).
Walton with a variety of leg/foot/toe injuries.
Mitch had back issues extending into his sophomore season.

Yes, I understand injuries happen in contact sports, especially the competition but it raises a question when stuff like this is recurring and constantly causing guys to have to sit out.

Seriously, Indiana looks way more athletic than we do.

Chaulk it up to Bielfeldt's revenge. 

We'll beat IU in the B1G tourney, if we play them. Otherwise, it's just a karma glitch. Nothing to worry about.
