He's missed 17 of his last 24, I think
January 17th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
and also lay some TE
January 17th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
Another unnecessary shot by Burke. But thank you Minnesota.

Michigan converting on the 3-on-2's in transition and Minny for whatever reason hasn't. I think that's an 8 point swing so far.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Dunk it

He did sing NC State's praises - for beating Duke.

good half in a great game.
these two teams are ballin!
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Good God McGary got hammered.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Did thjr play the entire 1st half?
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Once McGary gets a year in the weight room and drops a few bad pounds he's gonna be something special.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
not a foul when Mitch got clobbered? Fuck you refs
January 17th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
this is the big ten and we are on the road.
which is what makes a victory on the road that much more special!
January 17th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
Strong first half. Looking forward to the second half. Going to be tough one.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
Don't tell me what I have to do. You're not the boss of me.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
I wonder if they're going to have to start running some pin-down screens or something for GRIII. He's too good to be that uninvolved.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
Yeah, that was a pretty bad no-call. My guess is the refs have a nice brown bag lunch or something waiting for them, so they just wanted it to be halftime.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:53 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 7:54 PM ^
Timmayyy is 6-7, and 4-5 from beyond the arc.
I like it.
January 17th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
Halftime stats, for the board's consumption:
Michigan:
FG% - 51.9%
3PT% - 54.5%
FT% - 50.0%
Minnesota:
FG% - 47.8%
3PT% - 71.4%
FT% - 75.0%
They are almost in a dead heat in most stats. The key so far has been turnovers on the part of Minnesota, of course. This really is coming down to little things like that though. Great game to this point though.
The 2nd half should be pretty damn exciting though. Go Blue! Beat The Gophers!
January 17th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
I like the way it disrupted the Gophers, but knowing Beilein, he'll switch up constantly
January 17th, 2013 at 7:58 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
I see no reason why he shouldn't start. He is better in all facets of the game, imo.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:04 PM ^
Like his energy off the bench. And it really doesn't matter who starts, it's who finishes.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
He is a worse interior defender - he commits a lot more fouls and his man shoots a higher percentage than Morgan's man does. He partially compensates with better shotblocking ability but not entirely.

Just noticed Lunardi's newest bracketology. Just noticed he has a 2 seed now. Boo.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
talk about a case of what have you done for me lately
January 17th, 2013 at 8:03 PM ^
Indiana lost, so that will change.

In time for the second half :) Even though I would never watch it on mute during a lecture...
January 17th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Stat of the half: Michigan has 22 points off turnovers, Minnesota has three.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Gotta go a tasting at a caterer for my upcoming nuptials. Thank you mgoblog for existing and allowing me to get a running commentary on what's sure to be a good game.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
The local used car commercials from Arkansas on this stream are cracking me up.
January 17th, 2013 at 8:06 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
Control the pace, play our game.
