Michigan MBB @ Northwestern Open Thread
Not the best start...not the worst. Looks like we are running some new action against the 2-3. It hasn't yielded much thus far. Nice to see Aubrey assertive.
Olah will be the death of us.
Doyle was doing on the last defensive possession. Just stood there instead of grabbing the rebound. Now they have 2 more opportunities.
MAAR has to be smarter. Can't pick up a foul a mile away from the basket.
Why one should never go fishing without a firearm. Fish AND seal for dinner.
Early on, about 3-4 extra chances for Northwestern on long rebounds.
Why does the defense always fall apart at the end of the shot clock?
but I suppose it's better than falling apart at the beginning of the shot clock.
When NW looks more athletic and skilled than we do...
Let's Go Blue!
Hopefully, we'll shoot well tonight.
We've done a lot of standing around offensively. We also are giving up too many easy opportunities defensively.
I love that animation....
Lol 25 ppg 10 boards, 6 assist 3 steals
Surprised to hear how loud Northwestern's little arena is. I've never heard them this loud for a basketball game before.
coming out party.
Max is solid and makes plays.
Great feed by Dawkins.
Wow. There we go. 14-9 good guys
Dawkins: SWISH!!!
SQUISH!
Let's keep it up.
For the first half.
A smooth Golden Ale.
He needs some help though
Aubrey Dawkins doin the damn thing.
Looks like that's a "Z" in the middle of the court.
Why go to the 1-3-1 there? They hadn't scored on 5 or so straight playing man, with no good looks.
Dawkins is active early.
a 3 point shot?
Dawkins feelin' "it".
Phrasing!
Goddammit Spike used to never step out on those baseline drives but come this season he does it all the time.
Its weird.
grew.
It's not his feet that are touching the line ... #LetYourNutsHang
I just rewound and I'm sure the ref is right and all, but from my view, that doesn't really look like he stepped out of bounds. I wish they would show a replay.
I thought Spike was inbounds too.
No clue where he should be on defense this late in the season? Every possession he's like a deer in headlights
Has the Internet streaming business changed in the last year? I used to be able to find a stream for 100% of Michigan basketball games. This year, if it's not on ESPN, it is nowhere to be found. I've listened to probably 10 games on the radio this year, including this one, apparently.
I've actually been able to find really nice streams for BTN this year. This one is HD quality (and was on the first page of results when I Googled "BTN livestream"): http://www.fanslounge.tv/live/big-ten.php
Irvin doing the work on the pick and roll. Well done.
This is our lineup where I'm like, "who can handle the ball against pressure?" NOBODY!
Oh good - Spike's back in.
Great drive to the hoop. Don't settle for the outside shot.
Here comes the autobench. But will Chatman getting benched hurt?
thanks for trying, cam. see you next year.
Defense is pretty bad right now.
In other M bball news, Stauskas tied his career high tonight with 15 points on 4-8 shooting, 1-2 from 3, but a perfect 6-6 at the line.
Donnal has to be smarter. He has given up a lot of and 1s this year.
Really, 3 guys all over Doyle's back and that's legal.
