Michigan - Illinois Open Thread
OSU-NW winding down in a tight game, they just showed the Michigan faithful in the arena.
Let's fucking Go Blue!
edit: looks like M-Wolverine and I made the same thread simultaneously
-OSU beats NW in overtime. Michigan-Illinois now scheduled for a 2:38 tip.
Would a loss put us in the NIT? and if so what seed?
We'll be in wait-and-see mode until the selection show with a loss. If we are NIT it'll be a 1, maybe a 2.
it looks like we lost this one. Do we want the Spartans to lose next or run the table(unlikely) to help our quality wins?
We wanted them to lose anyway...
I will gladly eat my words.
I find it hard to believe we're fouling on the rebound every time they miss a shot.
We have more second-chance points than they do? That can't be right.
Holy shit, it's just not our day today.
Seriously Stu, get off the court
if knocks that down, a huge momentum boost. but no. great steal and layup tho on next play.
Need to hit one of those 3s in transition to get some momentum.
we can't rebound against Illinois' length
We are absolutely not looking like a tournament team right now. Time to pick it up.
we cant make shit or get a call this is bad
So who's our first round opponent in the NIT?
Ugh, just a dispiriting performance. Giving up offensive boards, easy buckets for Illinois, etc.
I saw somebody above say "It's just not our day."
That seems about right.
Hopefully the committee sees the close losses against Wisky, Kansas, Ohio State, etc. and decides we should be in.
And, do you like your crow cold or warm?
LETS GOOOOOO! I'm feeling a comeback...
for how shitty we've been, we just need a couple stops to be right back in this
Down 7, here comes the run... hopefully.
Illinois seems like they are shooting a lot better than a couple weeks ago. Both teams are in. This game was about seeding. The 9-9 league record did it for us.
I think you are right-but we will be sweating it Sunday.
If you'd been watching the bubble the past day and a half, you wouldn't be nearly as confident in saying that. This game is critical.
win or lose today.
Watching us run our offense it is really clear how much more athletic they are than we are. They are on top of our guys each time they catch it.
THE BACK!!!!!
How is that not over the back?
About time Tisdale missed a three.
SMOTZNoggle! Boom
smot!!!
FINALLY SMOT!
Smotrycz gets it within 4!!!!
