I'd rather have 3 Jordan Morgans. They aren't good... Just tall and in abundance.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Finally a charge there by Morgan.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Offense is out of sorts. Absolutely no rhythm. Can't beat them with one possession. Work it boys.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
We really just need to get our three's to start dropping and to make sure we are getting the best looks.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
There is always Hope, I guess. And Halftime.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
I don't think things could be going much worse for us.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Our undefeated season is in big time jeopardy.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
This game is not even close to over yet. Have some faith.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
Horford and Christian don't look like they're ready to be out there against these guys right now. Granted, it's Duke, but I haven't like what I've seen from them thusfar.
And we're not going to beat anyone if Hardaway only has 1 shot/0 points. Gotta get him involved.

Nice hustle by burke.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Timmy needs to make a shot
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
Can someone please explain to me how they call an offense foul but the bucket counts?
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
I believe it was because the foul was committed after the player took the shot.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
that's bull it's a charge with no points or an and one
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
That's the NBA rule.
In college, player control ends when the player releases the ball. If the shot is off before the charge, it counts.
In the NBA, player control ends when the player returns to the floor.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
Wrong. If the foul occurs after the bucket it counts. Simply just the rule.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
I was confused about that too. I didn't know that was possible.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Greetings from tRCMB! Just wanted to stop by and empathize with you guys on the near-nightly Dukie suckfest that occurs on ESPN. It's irritating, at the least, everytime MSU plays them.
Also, I can't wait for MSU-UM in bball this year. I'll be honest and say that I didn't much care about the game for the past 10'ish years, but I am glad to say that you have officially 'caught our eye', for lack of a better phrase. I truly hope that the strides the UM program has taken under Beilein will lead to us having 2 legitimately elite programs in this state.
Go GREEN, and .... *cough* .... go blue....

Way to break a stereotype
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:18 PM ^
I would like to say, though, that there are many more civilized people on tRCMB than is typically believed/portrayed by many.
I think, really, both sides feels like the other side 'started it', and neither wants to 'be the bigger man', at least that's how it seems to someone with many friends on both sides. To me, it speaks to an idea that a poster from tRCMB had regarding a name for our rivalry/game; The Sibling Rivalry. Because, as civilized as it might start off, it gets petty reeeeeal quick, and I've witnessed this happen on both sides.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
Duke 34, Michigan 22 at half time.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
....of Duke's jersey? Are we honoring Aztec-themed moulding?
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:04 PM ^
Advance the ball with a pass, call a timeout, and set up an out of bounds play. Disappointed in JB.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
Missed an opportunity there to go into halftime with a lot more momentum.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
It's been the perfect storm. They have been shooting lights out, and we have missed our open looks even though we got like 10 open looks so far. Burke was impressive though, and we did not get any favors with fouls but no one does when they play Duke.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
An interview with Tom Izzo at halftime of a Michigan game. Really?
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
If that is true, it's the most dumb yet kinda funny thing ever. I've been watching, though, and didn't see it. Did I miss it? Or is it a regional thing?
Wouldn't shock me though. ESPN/ABC's distaste for MSU/UM has reared it's ugly head before, in having Matt Millen as a commentator for MSU-UM game last year...
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
I turn it off at halftime because every year it's a slop fest about how bad JB's system is, and every time we make a second half run and either win it or lose close ala Duke last year, Kansas, OSU, Illinois,
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
Looks like our team is pretty determined coming out of half.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
He's been more impressive than any guard from Memphis or Duke. He's the only one that looks like a true PG.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
Jordan Morgan just yelled DEEEZ NUTS in plumlee's face
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
Do we have NBA officials? Some of these continuation calls are a bit nuts.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
Smot's was a bit extended .. too bad he missed the FT
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing. That was ridiculous.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Mute time. Enough slobbering.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
....for them to discuss Coach K's solid palladium shits.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
51-42 duke, 13:16 left
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
Burke is a stud in the making. The kid has great confidence already.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
Dare I say he looks just as good as Morris did last year? This kid is scary good.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
Plumlees are bad
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
No doubt. Rivers has that same old Duke cockiness that carries him all the way to the NBA ... where he becomes a career 3rd string PG.
November 22nd, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
Needed that transition 3.
