MBB vs. Tennessee/NCAA Tournament Day 2 Open Thread
I'm streaming so the quality isn't great are we actually tripping Tennessee? I feel like I'm watching a hockey game or something
Doesn't matter if it's guarded or wide open. And Tennessee has a step on all our defenders and playing better defense. We need to step it up big time.
loooong media time out
We're just jacking the first 3 we see. Swing it around a bit, make them play D. That shot will always be there.
Enough with the "tripping" foul calls.....
Come on guys we need to start hitting some of these shots. I hate having to come from behind to win the game. It is much easier to do it at the beginning. LETS GO!
i dont have a problem shooting 3s if theyre wide open with the right guy. but christ the whole team is standing outside the 3 pt line and nobodys the for the rebs.
We haven't even given the refs a chance to call a foul on Tennessee. It's not the refs' faults that we're just shooting jumpers as soon as we get over half court.
But they made notable (called out by the commentators) no-calls on a hard foul and a soft desperation breakaway foul, while M can't even play defense.
We do need to stop going for bad jumpers extremely early, though.
It's amazing that we're within five even after 1 for 9 from three. I wish we could hit those today.
How about a moratorium on calling out college kids? Stu Douglass isn't playing well, but let's not start talking smack about him or anybody else on this team.
And the 3s will fall - every team goes through dry spots.
I don't see anyone breaking the 3pt line in penetration.
Lets get Morgan in there, i know he has two fouls but if we don't set up an inside game this is going to get away from us very quickly. We're 1/65 from three point land.
Novak, you're so gritty.
What the fuck are they doing, good Lord
Novak! Yes!
VOOOOOOOOOOGRICH!
EUREKA!!!
EUREKA!!!
EUREKA!!!
Sweet Triple Post
almost as good as Vogrich....
Dude is money
FINALLY. We hit a 3 pointer.
About time!
Finally we get a three ball to fall.
stop jacking 3's. combined 0-7
Thank you Vogrich
Threeeee pointer!
Yes Matt Vogrich!!
getting some good minutes from Vogrich
I apologize, no clue why that posted 3 times. My bad.
Get it going Vog. Hopefully that opens the 3 point skies.
i hope he steals all of douglass' minutes next year. hopefully one of the kids coming in can pick up the rest.
Did anyone else think to themselves last game when Morris hit a 3 "oh we are going to pay for this later."
There we go. Get it going boys!
GRIT
It's possible to criticize the refs on both ends, as many people did below. There were several borderline calls, but they weren't at even periods. The first half of the first half was the "Tennessee can do no wrong" version of the refs. With about 8:00 minutes left, suddenly Tennessee couldn't get a call to save their life.
MORE 1-3-1!
If Harris cools off UT is in trouble.
Seriously, how are we winning?
Our best talent is all first time NCAA tourney players. They seem to play nervous early in the game. No disrespect to Stu and Z-No, but once our guys can all settle in a bit, I think we'll be there in the end winning or with the opportunity to win.
Get to half w/in striking distance. Update: 24-23 Michigan with its first lead.
Indeed.
Would you prefer to hang out at the RCMB? No? Then buzz off.
you asked me a question, and then answered on my behalf - with another question. Then you drew a conclusion that doesn't appear to comport with your line of questions and anticipated responses (if I don't want to hang out on RCMB, then I should not be here - I don't understand that; where should I be based on my alleged attitude towards RCMB then?).
FWIW (which is to say, little) I usually allow my interlocutor to answer on his or her own behalf. Moreover, when I answer a question, I try to be strong and affirmative with it, as opposed to answering in an uncertain interrogatory tone. Just a comparison.
Everybody has their manner I suppose. But for the reasons set out above, I have a hard time understanding your manner. (Again, FWIW).
