they weren't particularly successful against our man-to-man

Looked to me like he wrapped him up prett good and they just didnt call it.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Is there a Michigan sports radio station online I can listen to instead of Duke Vitale? I remember listening to something for some of the early games but I can't find it anymore.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
Mgoblue.com and click the audio link. I've used it every game so far pretty much.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
Thanks!
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Is especially infuriating because it is so clearly a bad call. There is absolutely no ambiguity about it, Duke was awarded 3 points they should not have been awarded.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Well, in a reasonably officiated game I'd feel much better because it would be three points.
Never agree to play in Cameron.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
Given how poorly we've played, NIk obviously not 100%, and the 5 points that shouldn't be we're doing damn well.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
Duke alumnus sounds like Michigan man after listening to Vitale for 20 minutes.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:14 PM ^
Of course we make Duke's defense look the best they have all season. Hmm. I can't tell if it is a product of a terrible offense or Duke just stepped it up, as everyone seems to do in every sport when they play Michigan.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Of course our opponents bring their A++++ game when they play us. Of course.

I hope Florida State hangs 72 on them, Saturday. No mercy.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:14 PM ^
This game should be within five points right now... Blatantly missed shot clock violation, nonexistant goaltend, not to mention the other missed calls... Gonna have to win this on our own and aren't going to get any help... Transition game worked at the end of the half and need to keep taking the ball to the basket... Need to get Mitch in on this action to have a shot.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^
Despite all their #1 seeds and top finishes they often get upset in the 2nd or 3rd round of the tournament because they aren't playing at home where they get every fucking call.
I hate to bitch about the refs as an excuse, but that was so painfully obvious in the first half.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:16 PM ^
You sound surprised.

Dick Vitale blows Coach K all day. He is at mid court, mouth open, inviting "dookies" to enter.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
Love to see Stauskas drain some threes to start the 2nd half. That'd be enjoyable.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^

Caris is 2/5. Irvin airballed his only shot.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
On the refs. Bad calls, yeah, I'm with you guys. They've gotten the better. But Duke got whistled for 9 fouls to our 5. We somehow came out of that Horford shove with a free throw and the ball.
We're losing because we can't score or rebound.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
Did you miss the tech on the Duke player who threw the ball at Horford?
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
But Horford seemed to escape unscathed for two shoves (or maybe he got a personal). Yeah, they got some free points, but we're on pace for 44 this game and are getting killed on the boards. That's the story here. If it doesn't change, the "free" 5 points Duke got won't matter.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:23 PM ^
1/2 attributed 100% because of the refs. 1/2 because duke is outplaying us.
looking at the foul call numbers without looking at the quality of every single call is the most useless thing people do, and a personal pet peeve.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:26 PM ^
All the calls against Duke were good and fair, because Michigan never gets calls in their favor.
I have no doubt that the foul discrepancy would be something everyone would be frothing about if it was reversed. There were some softies on Duke, especially the one Spike drew.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
Pushes happen all the time. Throwing the ball at a dude doesn't. That's how that happened.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
B1G looking like crappola tonight all around.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
I didn't sign up with Team B1G for the athletic competence.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:26 PM ^
Really? I think only Illinois has really blown it and we aren't looking great. IU was never going to beat Syracuse and the fact that PSU made it a game is a win in itself against Pitt.
Both Iowa and Minnesota are taking care of business at the moment as well.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:28 PM ^
yep, most of tonight was on the road for the B10. would have been nice to seal that Ill game, but Iowa and Minn should hang on.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
I'm guessing McGary is hurting. He's played with much more energy in other games this year. Maybe he'll let it loose in the 2nd half. I dont think he has but one foul, if that.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
prevented a lot of his development as a player. still plays out of control, still can't shoot, still raw as i'm doggin it.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
That he pushes every time he wants one of his little lap dog refs to make a call?
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:26 PM ^
plus side: got to see the Clay mathews fathead commercial
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:26 PM ^
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:26 PM ^
I can't remmeber the last time Michigan OR MSU went to Duke and won. I hate the Big 10/ACC Challenge and I feel like Michigan is always on the road, even if it does rotate.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:28 PM ^
Well we know it's been at least since 2000. And for Michigan I think people said earlier it was 1996.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
1996. "Tractor" Traylor hits a short jumper as time expires.
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
GRIII has been a big disappointment this year and as usual whenever we play Duke everything that can go wrong does.I HATE Duke
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:29 PM ^
We need more of that
December 3rd, 2013 at 10:30 PM ^
but he's not a good defender
