Michigan-OSU Game Thread

Great decision by Donnal. 

Good on defense though

Keys to the tournament: don't lose Wagner for the entire first half of the first game

Check

We heat up and this thing is over

I love how the refs aren't calling over the backs on the ok state big man. He has at least three so far. Yet Wags has two early fouls

Tight game. Loosen up and just play, baby.

?

This one was supposed to be 100-98, so of course its 3-3 at first TO

Wow, OSU very TO prone. 

Another OSU TO

Here we go 

We're easily at our best offensively when we move off ball. We need to be more consistent with that.

That was not a block! WTF!

DJ at the 5 already.

Looks like Donnel's feet were set. But what do I know, I just have 20-20 vision.

is great at the line too.  Ugh

We look sooooo much slower than OSU.

Man, these fouls are terrible to me but I'm not that educated at bball... Please just don't be that kind of game

Ugh Mark Donnal. Really sucks Wagner picked up the early fouls. 

Michigan does not look good right now

Couldn't hit the broad side of a fucking barn at this point.

Lol... Refs fucking us early.

They are fast and their point guard is explosive.

We are screwed if the refs are going to let OSU barrel uncontrolled into the lane all game.

 

Offense stinks

Not really running very good offense.

Shut Evans down and we win

That was a foul? What?

How is that a foul on Robinson?

Fucking fouls are killing us. FUCK.

Fuck

Calling some ticky tac stuff so far... I always forget that non-Big 10 refs don't allow so many maulings

Horrible refs. Won't let them play.

I found the pattern: OSU misses a shot or loses the ball---that's a foul

Need to adjust to that or we're going to be in serious trouble

10 fouls between both teams and we're not even 10 minutes into the game. 

At this rate Beilein is going to be pulling guys in from the stands to fill out the team by the second half. 

So we have officials who haven't a clue what they're watching (us being on the right side as well). That will not bode well for us.

I see it's going to be a minimal contact called game. Not good.

All those people who said OSU's defense is a sieve were clearly wrong. But we need far more movement on offense. Need cutters and slashers towards the basket instead of passing around the perimeter.

So much doom and gloom - we'll settle down.

Only issue I have is the quick whistle. So far it's been both ways. Destroys the flow of the game, and takes good players off the floor.

Let them play a little!

we struggle against zone. when we beat cuse we still only scored in the 50s.

Looks like every touch this game is going to be called a foul. At least it is going both ways. Would love to see them let the players play a little more though.

Weird that they use the tempo free to talk about us but raw scoring numbers for OK State.  Figure out what you want to use, CBS.

7 free throws already. Fuck this is going to be tough.

Tentative. Need him to step up here. Also osu defense is good? ? Wth

These fucking refs. What a fucking joke.

Osu can't be that much more athletic than us... Can they?

Help me understand how Wilson didnt get fouled twice

 

3 point gift.
