MBB vs. Harvard Open Thread
i'm still wating... LOL
Which is why you didn't go to Harvard...
reason this game worries me... flashbacks of michigan losing to penn at home all of those years ago...
I feel like we've met our Ivy League loss quota for at least a few more years.
...losing to Harvard at home three years ago?
On the road.
BEAT THE MICHIGAN OF THE EAST!
Harvard is the Harvard of the East.
Much appreciated.
$4 for a hot dog and $6 for a water down pop. The concessions crew needs to get their act together.
Even AT the games?!?
in the Maize Rage. Unfortunately, I cannot the picture so everyone can see how wicked awesome this guy is.
What the hell was that? For a second I thought we got a mascot. What is that thing supposed to be?
They call him Squaddy the Squirrel! "South Quad's favorite mascot."
Thanks Jen. I was worried that Brandon, Special K, and the new marketing team decided to get us a silly looking wolverine mascot. I would think an Ann Arbor squirrel would be fatter, but that's cute.
Cinncy's mascot was thrown out of the football game fir throwing snowballs. Something anyone from South (or West) Quad should know something about.
you accidentally a word.
What the hell is he wearing?
Why the f--- do we have a chipmunk at the game?
try to interview Brandon. The chat did not last long.
Did he have security remove Sharp? Or just take a swing at him?
Anyone find a stream?
i usually check atdhe.net but it seems to be down right now atleast for me.
Previous UM bball games were on this channel: justin.tv/maize55
but that stream is offline it seems too.
Im stumped
LET'S GO BLUE!!!
What's the attendance like? Had some things to do, so I had to stay home, but I'm curious if anyone other than the Maize Rage showed up.
I wonder the same. Looks pretty empty from some of the pictures people have posted on Twitter. I wish I would've gone!
M Hoops just tweeted that attendance is 9,559 today.
Zack Noooooooooooooooooooovak
Looks real good right now. He can slash, he can pass. He's the focal point of this offense. Much improved and hopefully he can keep getting better.
Michigan 10:41 remaining in 1st
Is it just me or is there some kid from Harvard wearing glasses? Not contacts or goggles (prescription), but glasses. Not sure I have seen that before.
I think they're goggles, probably prescription, but they are very glasses-looking.
What are these "offensive rebound" type things? It's new to me, but hopefully it's something we can get used to.
17-17 7:22 to go
How are we still tied?
/annoyance
Over NC, at the half.
need to get closer b4 end of half.
the wrong way...need to start shooting better and not get blocked...
wtf...
32-25 bad guys at the half.
That half for Michigan was fugly as a Big East football game.
holy crap, down by 8 at the half!!! Seriously!!! Arghhhhh!
Update: Heard 8 is actually 7 not much better.
Down 32-25 at the half.
Mike Hall is still a giant tool.
Harvard... Halftime
Wow we look terrible....just sloppy play not on the same page, dumb turnovers and letting there big man get too many easy baskets while we're working for everything we get
another shooting clinic.
Worse than the football ones?
25 pts
FGs - 10-27
3pts - 4-14
FT - 1-2
Reb - 17
T/O - 9
Pts in Paint - 10
Bench Pts - 6
I think this team needs to try to work it inside and drive the line a little more. The threes aren't going in today. Harvard is killing us with one guy on the inside and it helps when they are making more of their outside attempts than us. Lets hope the 2nd half is better than the first.
This is bad. Once again they play a GREAT game the game before but come out flat during the current one against a lesser opponent.
GO BLUE
That was probably the worst half for Smotrycz, THJ and Novak of the entire season
Is anyone really surprised by this?
Morris passed it off the dribble....he never put it back down!!!!
sorry
This is getting scary....down by9?
By the way anyone find a stream yet?!
Listening to it on the radio from the mgoblue website.
But it looks as if Morris is single-handedly carrying the team right now. Timmy just 2-11, 1-6 from inside and 1-5 from outside the arc. yeesh.
EDIT: I'm a moron. 1-6 total, his only make being the one three. Still not very good.
Stu has definitely been the second half spark. I end up feeling like a broken record, but I think he's the most complete player on the team.
Beilein has gone with Novak at the four for the entire second half. It seems so illogical, but it really appears to work, especially against this team. I would like to see Wright doubled every time he touches the ball.
Michigan leads 41-38. After 3 pointer from Duglass.
13:12 to go.
STUUUUU
Beilien and Burns have a communication device. They wanted to let all UM sports fans worry, then all at once be estactic. Both the soccer team and basketball team take the lead at relatively the same time.
Dude is on fire right now.
STUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Just as the BB team comes back, soccer team scores 2 quick ones to start second half, up 2-1.
Yeesh... we are really playing like dog shit. Missing lay-ups is fun!!!
Missing way too many point blank lay ups. Novak and then Vogrich
You're not a Globetrotter.
Our guys are as good at layups as the hockey team is shooting at open nets! This is frustrating as he'll!
Why is Vogrich guarding there center seriously
Double Wright. Double Wright. Double Wright...
Jesus yet another turnover. My god.
Does he go out thinking "I look GOOD"?
7:48 remaining tied up at 46. Cmon!
Morris is getting fouled every time he has the ball by number 10 and they don't call anything its starting to get annoying
having big guys is a huge difference. Morgan and McLimas are doing wonders for us.
Novak struggling with shooting but up to 10 rebounds for him right now.
as he drains the three lol
Yeah I was trying to update my post to put that in there as well, but had technical errors.
Looks like the Cagers are trying to clean that first half vomit off of their jerseys.
How was that foul on the floor? Stu should be shooting three freebies.
EDIT: Novak drains a three so all is well.
EDITED EDIT: And we draw a charge at the other end.
BIG shot from Novak
Zack Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovak
With a great pass from Morris.
I don't know about you guys, but watching this gametracker makes me really want some PIIIIII-ZZZAAAAAAA!
(miss Crisler)
VOOOOOOOOOOOOOGRICH!
Morgan is getting abused in the post. Can't let that guy shoot from 6 inches away.
However, I think that guy is also getting away with some Shaq-like bumping.
front him. silly letting him post up 5 ft from the basket every damn time.
hahah yea hes def gettin the Shaq advantage.....we can always put Vogrich back down on him to take a charge
Where can I get one of those recycling t-shirts?
"whoever gets the most will win this game"
Insightful
I really fucking hate that spikey haired BTN guy. He can't talk like that in everyday life.
"Heeeeeeey! Can you pass me someofthat papeeeeeeeeer? I need a peeeeeeencilllll."
Ass hammer.
Do you remember when ESPN had that show to find the next Sportscenter anchor like, 5ish years ago? He was totally on it. I don't think he won, but the BTN, in keeping with their theory of having shit announcers/commentators, said "hey, this guy made my child laugh. let's sign him"
I do remember that. I also remember him going to a practice with MSU and licking Izzos coin purse (sorry about that visual). Always hated him after that for some reason. I hate seeing people have fun with teams I hate. I am a joyless individual. Where's my whiskey...
He won that contest show, Dream Job. They stashed him on some crap-ass ESPNU shows after the initial hoopla was over. IIRC, the contest gave him a one-year contract for $90,000. Anyway, I don't remember seeing him for a few years, then suddenly he showed up on the BTN.
He's really annoying.
Why cant Novak make FT....he missed both in the closing mins of that Clemson game too
Why cant Novak make FT....he missed both in the closing mins of that Clemson game too
this team full of frosh and sophs really play solid team D.
any chance coach B could do the same for the football team?
Floptacular!
Is very heady and a good actor!
They finally call a foul on the Harvard big man lowering his shoulder into Morgan.
Stu is draining them!
Stuuuuu hitting a 3. 4 point lead with 1:08 remaining.
61-57
Michigan... 1:08 left in game
2-2 :-(
2 huge FT here
2 huge FT here
How about the first foul on Morris instead of this crap
for harvard looks like one of the hanson bros from slapshot
62-59 Michigan with 15.5 seconds remaining.
Our FT shooting is Terrible!
-Captain Obvious
a victory. Thank God, too.
BOOM Beileined! Go Blue!!
A solid win... wasn't pretty at the line... but a solid win nonetheless!
16 second half points from STUUUUUUUU that was huge for his confidence and for this team going forward
65-62 Michigan Wins!
FG - 25-32 - 47%
3pt - 10-26 - 38.5%
Reb - 36
T/O - 14
Pts in Paint - 24
Bench Points - 30!!!
Notable Player Stats:
Stu - FG: 7-10 3pt: 5-7!
Novak - 11 rebounds!
A little more nerve-wracking than I was hoping for, but we pulled it out. Good to see Stu continue to maintain his hot shooting. Now we need THJ to get out of this funk he's been in a few games.
What's up with the Maize Rage? It looks disunified. The students near midcourt are jumping up and down and getting into the game while the students closer to the baskets (who are probably even more important in terms of defensive intimidation) just stand there. We need to get all of them on the same page.
