Michigan-Virginia B-Ball Open Thread
Game on ESPN2, and maybe the last good one till almost the new year (Iowa State isn't what they once were, and lost to Drake). So might be the last exciting game with a month's worth of development (maybe more...how do we start AND end the Big Ten season with Penn State?). And if I'm wrong, there's always Rudolph at 8 pm. (Oh who am I kidding, set your dvr).

Whenever you play on the road, if you can survive the first 10 minutes without digging yourself in a hole, it's a good thing. Just need to figure out UVa's defense and the points will come. Luckily they're missing shots and having turnovers like we are.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
It's been all defense and missed shots. It's been 10-9 for about three minutes.
I am intrigued...
November 29th, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
Vog before Stu so he can spell Burke because of THJ's foul trouble. I get it...
November 29th, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
These 5 on the floor are not going to be scoring much, no one can create a shot.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
Thankfully, they don't shoot very well
November 29th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
I love our Maize jerseys.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
I hope Curtis Staples doesn't get hot from beyond the arch for VA. If he does, game over.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
Get a ladder and take the lid off the basket.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
tough calls going against M, but we're lucky they can't shoot
November 29th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
Can somebody throw up the score occasionally. I like reading everyones comments while I'm on the road but I hate having to switch between apps to see the score. Thank you in advance.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
Eastern Michigan 17
Syracuse 16

Burke is awesome, huge three at the buzzer
November 29th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
from downtown!!
November 29th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
Trey Burke three pointerrrrrr. I miss Manny....
November 29th, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
November 29th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
15-10 Michigan.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
Is there anyway we can get a chat open like we do for the football games?
November 29th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
It slows down the site apparently, so not a good idea for more minor events.

The Daily has a Live Blog up.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
An announcer who knows we don't ALWAYS use the 1-3-1? I'm impressed.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
You mean Jay Bias isn't calling this game? Whaaaaa?
November 29th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
defense playing solid right now.
EDIT: too bad we can't capitalize
November 29th, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
More fouls than I'd like though...
November 29th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
I've never understood for 4 years how Stu and Novak have so much trouble making layups.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
November 29th, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
At this rate, this may be the 2nd game in 4 days that Michigan wins 40-34
November 29th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
...but I think it opens up a bit in the second half. THJ will be back in the game and creating offense for us.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
"As far as offense goes, this isn't a Picasso."
Smot bails them out with a cheap reach in foul late in the shot clock.
17-12, UVA shooting 1-1 after the TO.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
his customary 17-20pts in the second half. At this pace that should be more than enough to secure a win
November 29th, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
Were Eso Akunne and Christian expected to get much playing time this season? I've already seen a lot more of them than I did last year. Would be great if we can get some productive depth.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
We're gonna lose a game over free throw shooting here if we don't get it in order....
November 29th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
i thought we would have forever learned from the wisconsin game last year.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
This is like the Wisconsin-PSU game in the big ten tournament last year.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
^^
19-18 M, with 2 mins to go in the 1st. Both teams having more trouble scoring than a gaggle of acne-ridden D & D players at a middle school dance.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
Glad Morgan is coming back in, Christian can't make a layup, a free throw, or a jumper.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
No way we lose this game. TImmy will get his 15 in the 2nd and our defense is better than theirs no matter what the announcers say.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
jinx watch is officially on
November 29th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Eso. He plays good D, but he might as well never cross the half court line for Offense
November 29th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
Like our football team, we will perform better in the second half
November 29th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
2 missed foul shots, then missed open jumper and then turns the ball over and fouls the guy...not a good stretch, UM up 19-18, with 1:56 left
November 29th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Morgan, airball free throw. Ugh.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
November 29th, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Were they giving the Asshole chant to Morgan? Da fuck?
November 29th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
Air-ball
November 29th, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
Whoops, my bad
November 29th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
They talk about Zack Novak's three year captaincy every single game. I'm not tired of it.
Not a great half, but with THJ's minutes reduced big time, you've gotta feel good about Michigan's chances.
November 29th, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
Down 1 at half, gotta think THJ will be the difference in the 2nd half
November 29th, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Given the halftime score, I assume Michigan wins this one 40-34
