MBB vs Jackson State Open Thread
Tipoff at 8:30pm on BTN right after the IU game ends
FUCK OHIO!
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:41 PM ^
Great start!
This is bad programming.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
Beat Ohio!
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:41 PM ^
Another slow start? Go go Blue!
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:42 PM ^
This team is hard to watch.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:44 PM ^
I’d like see Baker start over Williams.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:45 PM ^
We need to shake up the starters their flow is off
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:45 PM ^
This team is making me miss Brandon Johns...
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
This team is making me miss John Beilein. His teams were always good shooting teams, these guys are just off.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
Another really poor start for Michigan on its home court against a lousy team. Not good, Bob.
November 23rd, 2022 at 10:08 PM ^
Why's everybody always pickin' on me?
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
Teams like Kentucky and UNC are going to annihilate Michigan. The offense is just so bad.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
Arizona State. If the transitive property applied, UNC would shut us out.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
I dont think fucking Ohio would be practicing safe...
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
might be the worst team in the B1G which seems difficult to do with Hunter on the roster
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:47 PM ^
I remember when I thought Bufkin was going to be different. Back to zero confidence.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:49 PM ^
So incohesive and disjointed on offense. That is bad coaching folks, plain and simple.
Fuck Ohio!!!
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:03 PM ^
Seriously Juwan has to get a new staff or he needs to go. This is pathetic.
November 24th, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
LMAO!!! This is incredible! Smh
Coach Howard and this (new) staff has yet to miss the sweet 16. And you want him fired for a slow start to a game...a game they won by 10. 🏆
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:50 PM ^
This team looks awful.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:50 PM ^
Seriously, why are we jacking so many threes???
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:50 PM ^
We blow
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:51 PM ^
Please get guards that can shoot and stop prescribing to the MattD "shooting is overrated" motto.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
*as Baker rides the bench most of the time
November 24th, 2022 at 5:03 AM ^
I don't know who Matt D is, but shooting is the whole game. John Beilein knew this and so did Jay Wright.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:52 PM ^
WTB some offensive sets
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
Rent a point guard gets worse each year now .
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
Dug says It’s Dug time.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:54 PM ^
Holy Christ - this is the first time I've seen Reed. He's HUGE!!!!
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:58 PM ^
He really looks like a young Patrick Ewing (Georgetown) to me. Good defensively, and developing offensively in the post. I like him!
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:55 PM ^
It's so obvious this Jackson St. squad is not good and yet we're barely hanging with them.
I just don't get it.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:55 PM ^
We've hit a couple of three's... but we've missed 8, so far.
11 of our 14 shots have been from behind the arc. Let's maybe drive to the bucket, slash, cut to the basket and get a few points. Jackson State really shouldn't be holding us to 13 points midway through a half.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:56 PM ^
Michigan under 30% from 3.Playing 300th ranked team.Start game taking 11 threes 3 twos.Somebody do the Math for me.
November 23rd, 2022 at 8:58 PM ^
Lol, Baker comes in and he turns it over and fouls a guy within 3 seconds.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:00 PM ^
More of that, please Dug! Get.To.The.Basket.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:03 PM ^
I'll give credit to Juwan for getting Khayat in there early, he must be coming along in practice.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:03 PM ^
I love Dug, Reed and Dickinson. The rest of the roster is really hard to love right now.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
This team would struggle to compete in the MAC. One of the worst shooting teams you will ever see and soft as charmin on defense.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
The bench plays just as good as the starters keep changing it up eventually the best players will show separation. Its only game 6 still a long season
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
Way to little movement on offense. It’s like no one cuts off passes. People standing with drivers going north/south and not making themselves available for passes or safety value. I just don’t get this.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:06 PM ^
All this game is lacking is shooting 25% from the free throw line.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
Why does it seem like every game is a one possession game regardless of the opponent?
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
But don't worry. The offensive sets are amazing!!!!
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:12 PM ^
My wife just asked if he's in danger of being fired this year for bad basketball and among the many things briefly discussed was that point. "But everyone points out his sets are amazing!"
LOL.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:17 PM ^
This argument about how amazing his sets are is complete nonsense to me. You put your players in position to win.
He had to see what this garbage looked like all off season, and this is the best fucking product?
A good coach gets guys to run his system, or he adapts. A great coach does both. He does neither
November 24th, 2022 at 1:38 AM ^
You and Peggy Fair finally hitched the knot?
Congrats to both of you!
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
Drive for 2. Drive and dish for 2. Get.To.The.Basket.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:09 PM ^
JSU will shoot themselves out of this eventually, but Michigan is terrible to watch - nothing pleasing about what they do on either end. As many have noted on this thread, they need to drive a ton more and quit settling with below average shooters outside.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:09 PM ^
Yes, this game is definitely the basketball equivalent of Nebraska vs Iowa.
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:11 PM ^
Except somehow less functional. This team has been completely blown apart with no real plan for the future. Terrible transfer pgs, no shooters, no defense, no reviews, no semblance of any strategy consistently used.
Awful basketball
November 23rd, 2022 at 9:10 PM ^
Wow, all of these drives are making me teary-eyed. I know they're not reading the blog, but, but... some prayers are getting answered.
