Michigan Basketball vs. MSU Open Thread
We're shooting poorly from 3 and MSU will cool.
Just need 4 more pts than them over 20 min. 100% doable.
He looks awful. And he's not a pretty man to begin with. Maybe he's hungover.
Still not sure why we're supposed to care about what he says.
His paisley tie looks like the Red Wings symbol.
So unlikely it's a two-day bender.
Please i bet Gottlieb thows down Motley Crue style and drinks heroin from a fire hose!
Dude is a dullard and a criminal.
I just thought that is what he looked like
I liked what I saw as far as effort and intensity in the first half. If the random breaks balance out in the 2nd, we should be ok. Oh yeah, and repeat along with me, "I believe the 3's will start falling soon. I believe the 3's will start falling soon. I believe the 3's..."
We were 0-6 on threes, getting out-rebounded 21-13, and are only down 3? Sorry I missed the first half because I can't imagine how we're this close.
We created some good turnovers and got points on the break... And Trey has been good.
Spartans will what? Burn couches?
Loving the energy by LeVert out there. GRIII has flashed some great play, would love to see him keep up some of that intensity on the boards. I think if we keep it up in the paint, the 3's will come. And obviously, lets check Payne a little closer guys.
to step up for our boys
Caris Defense > Stauskas Defense...just saying. I'm sorry to see he got hurt but maybe LeVert's D will help us throughout this game
If we are going to give up 50%+ on threes, I don't understand why we don't play more zone. At least we would be able to stop all these lay ups and get some defensive rebounds. If you are going to be bad at defense, at least be bad at one thing (3 point shooting), not bad at everything.
Much harder to rebound out of a zone.
I don't know anything about basketball so...
Is it harder to play zone when they have Nix and Payne in the game at the same time?
Nik hurt, THC not at game and Sparty on fire from 3 and we are only down by 3 ar half. Why am I so stressed? We got this.
THC? I swear I'm not high.
Was Nik a dirty play?
Wow.
Love it.
Good defense, but you gotta finish on offense.
and LaVert
or, get a rebound.
All that said, I like the intensity after the break. Just got to finish.
We need to keep being aggresive so we get them in foul trouble
LOVING the energy by LeVert. We feel like an upbeat team when he's in.
I thought layup's were fundamentals
We would be up now if we could hit a layup.
got to take advantage
All Michigan lay up hating god?
I have this dream... where we get a rebound. But then I wake up...
Inception is currently on TNT...
Less missed layups please! We are looking good to start the half though.
I'm actually pretty pleased with this game so far but damn two missed layup a back to back with a chance to take the lead is so frustrating
Yup. Offensive foul for sure.
Wow, another offensive foul called on them? I'm shocked.
The radio guys (ours) seem to think we got really lucky on that
That was a nice flop.
Now, let's get Payne to pick up his third.
I think the fact that Levert is being pushed into the starting lineup is a blessing in disguise. Really like the athleticism he adds and the fearless way he plays.
Beautiful feeed Burke
When he's on the floor?
I thought the MSU inbounder just threw it right out of bounds haha.
I hate teddy valentine.
I've been missing parts of the game, any news on Stauskas?
12 stitches, haven't heard anything else...
He's been shown on the bench. Stitches for sure but not sure how many. I've been listening to the radio broadcast while watching so not sure if they've said any more on tv. His left eye looks pretty bad.
I can't wait to make our first 3!!!
