Michigan - Penn State Basketball Open Thread
February 6th, 2011 at 12:13 PM ^
How many references are the announcers going to make to there rough morning?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
as many as the number of times they will talk about D-Mo's right hand dominance.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:16 PM ^
Turnover-itis is killing Michigan to the tune of 14-6.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
A couple bad turnovers, not cleaning up the defensive boards.... could be a long one if this keeps up.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
This butterfly shit needs to stop. I know it won't, but are we really going to be hearing this for 2 more years after this one?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
both smotz and hardaway off to rough starts
February 6th, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
yesterday?
<br>
<br>Anyone else think the BTN announcers are horrendous? And enough with the "butterfly" moniker already.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:21 PM ^
Teams are keying in on Novak now and we can't get him any good looks.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
I less than three Darius Morris. 18-13 State.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:24 PM ^
This "offense" is hard to watch. Too much 1 on 5.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
how do you leave battle wide open for 4 different looks from 3, thankfully he has missed a couple but damn you would think the gameplan today is to exclusively lock him down and make someone else beat us with brooks being out.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
PSU seems to run a lot of screens for Battle, and he has a ridiculously quick release.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:43 PM ^
see you - man - ball. Always see your man and the ball, we have really poor off the ball defense.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^
UM has looked very flat today. Hardaway got into early foul trouble, there is VERY LITTLE movement on offense, and now Douglass is limpin around.
Not lookin' to good for the ol' Maize & Blue.
also, is Taylor Battle like, a 29 year old 7th year senior?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
We need to turn this around quick, down 13 to 24 currently
EDIT: Immediately after posting this we rail of 3 straight three's, she's filled back up
February 6th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
Very clever. Well-earned +1.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
Is it just me or does this home crowd seem mighty quiet?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Make the game feel like a shoot around, and nobody feels any urgency. Brilliant.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
I played in front of bigger crowds in high school
February 6th, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
Well, a lot of PSU alum/fans could be at the SB.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:01 PM ^
Every home PSU game is like this. I have no idea why they built such a large arena. Their basketball fanbase is tiny.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Up at 2:30am in Korea - no streams found. Listening through mgoblue.com.
Any streaming links anyone?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
nothing so far... I'll post if I find something.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
Without Hardaway out there the offense loses a lot of firepower
February 6th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
Worst half I've seen UM play in a while. Maybe this will stop the ridiculous NCAA tourney threads?
February 6th, 2011 at 2:50 PM ^
February 6th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
There ya go Michigan! Only down by 5 now, 2:50 left in half.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Stu Douglass is a cold blooded assassin.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
And just like that... we have a ballgame folks.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Nice little run.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Can really turn a game around quickly. UM just made 3, PSU missed two on quick trips in between. 9-0 run.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
now a 2 pt game
February 6th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
this game is very winnable.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
PSU boobirds. And 1. Schweet!
February 6th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
D-Mo silenced the boos just a little.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
If we get stops and get Darius out in transition, that's our best chance to get our shooters some looks, we are having a really tough time in half court offense
February 6th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
This butterfly shit has got to stop. Does this guy realize he's literally the only person on the planet that thinks it's a good nickname?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:46 PM ^
whenever he does something good you just say:
"The Butterfly is spreading his wings right now"...
February 6th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
I agree 100%. He is the *only* person who uses this nickname. Horrible. And it's a nickname that will be obsolete after this year anyway - he'll no longer be "blooming" but will be a legit star.
Yet still, how many comments like this have I read? I've probably read this same sentiment here on the board about 100 times - at least!
Enough. I've resigned to give him his "butterfly" and pray that it will no longer be written about.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Michigan ends with a 14-0 run, 27-24 good guys.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
LOL...all ten of PSU's bball fans are pissed.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
some of the worst fans out there. Way to boo your team for being down 3.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:59 PM ^
par for the course for this group though. Delany has got to improve the quality of officiating in both basketball and football
February 6th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Penn State hasn't scored for 7 minutes. Wonderful
February 6th, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
I turned the game on at 24-13 and Michigan immediately goes apeshit on the offensive end. Had I known they were going to do that I would have turned the Big Ten network on at 9 AM.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
I was wondering why they decided to start playing well all of the sudden.
This explains it. Now, go back and turn on the Gator Bowl please.
February 6th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
The Gator what now?
February 6th, 2011 at 12:58 PM ^
Stu Douglass needs a little more consistency out of his three point shooting. We need to be able to depend on him making big shots game to game
