MBB v Illinois BTT Open Thread
I only started one other MBB game thread this year and it was for Illinois and that one turned out well. Hopefully twice is still a charm.
GO BLUE!
How does a guy go from 158 lbs to 185 lbs over the summer and appear to be much quicker at the same time? Sanderson is a magician.
He was 158 when he arrived on campus.
Did he just airball a layup...
Lets go, Mizzou
That was an airball! And GRIII pass to Stauskas!
Too many early shots right now. It would be one thing if they were lay ups, but we don't need the long shots.
Beilein saying that he wasn't coach of the year - that he voted for Miles - another in a long line of examples of the type of leader Beilein is. What a man - what a leader - what a coach.
(and my coach of the year)
If we could rebound at all today we would be running away.
Spike money!
DAGGER
I think I've seen Spike hit that exact same shot every other game.
How was that not an offensive push off?
You simply could not ask for better defense. LeVert did EVERYTHING you could've asked. The guy pushes off, creates enough space to get the pass.
But that was amazing defense and defensive position.
More weird lineups...like I said, we're not going to blow them out. But expect it to hang around 10 and we'll be fine.
Holy cow we need to get Max out of the game.
Winning and resting the 2 big guys is huge
Way to support a guy who's playing just fine in a game we're winning by 10.
GTFO.
Max has been in the game for about 3 minutes and Dakich hasn't talked about his calves once.
Or a layup.
Coach's no foul philosophy has worked, but I'd love to see Max come in and knock some heads
Beilein is playing weird guys.
He took Morgan and Stauskas out with no fould with 17 minutes in the first half.
He also subbed LeVert and GRIII out early.
Gotta rest people and cut down the minutes if your gonna make a BTT run back to back to back games for a big guy can be exhausting.
This is fun. How can anyone NOT like Michigan athletics? I will never understand it.
Where was the foul?
As many as it takes for the refs to keep them in the game? /s
He's got a quiet 18 so far
We've got to keep driving to the hoop. Refs are calling contact. Let's take advantage
He's key.
Nik didn't move once that possession
Getting good looks. Just not hitting right now. This one will be tight.
And Walton.
gotta step it up on defense..they just driving through us every possession
Refs trying to keep Illinois in it.
It sure looks that way when they get touch fouls called going to the hoop and we don't.
Gone from a 13 point lead to 4. Not good.
Why start slowing down the offense with 10 minutes left? Just passing around the perimeter for 20 seconds without even attacking.
