MBB vs Arkansas Open Thread
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
People criticizing the players should keep in mind how many minutes they've played against a pressing team. Tired players make poor decisions sometimes.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
I can't believe it
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Well that sucks
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Rebounds are cool. We should get some.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Seriously? We aren't going to fucking rebound there? Are you fucking kidding me?
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
wtf? that's why you need morgan in there!!!
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Un-FUCKING-believable. Nice rebound smotcryz you pussy.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Why was Smot in there? Morgan needs to be there when you need a rebound. Thats on the coaches; they know how athletic morgan is.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Arkansas bails us out with a miss on the front end and we can't even get a frickin rebound. Horrible effort today.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
how hard is it to fucking rebound
January 21st, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Michigan's rebounding is a joke.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Fuck it, shoot the three, whats the worst that could happen, we lose?
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Fuck these AT&T commercials
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
I know we're all frustrated right now but lets not get carried away
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
that rebound outlet. Man, his head must be in an awful place.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
down 2 with 7 seconds left, I say they let Burke drive and dish out to the 3 point line for the win
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
I SOOOOOOOOOO want it to be Novak with a trey for the win
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Hardaway drives, kicks to Novak, hits the three, crowd goes silent and grabs their coats.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Burke drive and dump to Morgan. It's our highest percentage play.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Novack three, that's about all we got.
January 21st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
i hate to be in your shoes. i'm guessing a quick pick and roll with burke driving to the hoop. foul, make or morgan put back please.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
As bad as Michigan has played today, at least there is a chance to tie or win
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
yes i am crazy. just give it to burke and let him take the shot.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
DEATH TO RIMS
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Ow. My dong.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Of course we lose on a 3. Fuck our shooting
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
son
of
a
bitch.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Burke with a freshman-ish shot for the loss
January 21st, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
What? That almost went. Burke and Novak carried the team in this game. What more do you want from Burke?
January 21st, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
We didn't need a three, drive to the rim, make them foul you if they want to play tough defense.
Almost went in, but that's a bad shot.
Still played a great game.
January 21st, 2012 at 5:56 PM ^
The D would have collapsed on him if he drove and the refs are prone not to bail out players in that situation. Give the kid credit, he hit the defender with an excellent in-n-out dribble and stepback to get free. Sometimes the shot just doesn't go in.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Why do we put ourselves in these positions? Also I wish these so-called Michigan would quit trashing our players.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
You HAVE to get a better shot off than that with 7.6. YOU HAVE TO.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
And the other team is saying you HAVE TO get up tight and fight through the screens.
Credit Arkansas with great defense on that last possession.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
That's the fucking play we call out of the fucking timeout?! Fuck this I'm getting drunk.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Dang, in and out.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Heartbreaker
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
That was not good coming out of a time out. Not good at all.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
So this is how Ewing felt...
January 21st, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
half an inch
January 21st, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
Really... That was the shot we drew up? Nice try for Trey, I feel like he was the only one wanting to play today.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
This is just flat out wrong. The team played poorly, but don't question the effort. Novak had 17 pts and 9 boards. Morgan had 16 pts and quite possibly his best game of the year. Yeah, there were plenty of foolish shots and other stupid decisions, but you don't cut a 20 pt game into a last second chance for a buzzer beater without desire from the entire team.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
I agree with most of your post, but I'm definitley calling out THJ's effort. Standing around not cutting, not taking his guy off the dribble, terrible shot selection, getting beat off the dribble. It's either lack of effort or he has an undisclosed injury.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:16 PM ^
I definitely take issue with his game too. He needs to do more to create his own shot, because he's capable (unless as you say he has an undisclosed injury). I saw the standing around too and was not happy. His defense has never been his strength, but he could do more to show that he's actually working on it.
I also think that there is something slightly off with his shot from normal. He seems to be coming up short on shots far more often than I remember.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Novak played his ass off today!
January 21st, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Novak played his ass off today! Agree with the play call comment though.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
Sadly unboomed.
January 21st, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
How did we not draw something better up?!?!?!? It looked like it was going in, but we shouldn't have been in that position coming out of a TO.
