Michigan vs Michigan State Open Thread
When you don't attack and settle for bad shots because the other team is being more physical than you are.
It's not like we're 26% and we're taking and making shots that we want and they're just not going in. We're allowing them to push us around and into horrible shots...shots that are harder to make. Thus 26%.
We were a 4-seed last year and came *this* close to winning the damn thing. I'll take a 2-seed and a big angry chip on our shoulder, thank you very much.
They played better defense and McGary allowed us to win games like this while not hindering us in fact up-tempo games like most bigs do.
Definitely a wonderful accomplishment to get a 2-seed. But it doesn't really make us better.
We rely too much on the jumpshot and don't do the "little things" nearly as well as that team did.
We won more games this year, but the league was weaker. That said, if we get hot...we can't beat anyone in the country. But I haven't seen anything since the Illinois game (@ Illinois) and really even before that said "we're going to be dangerous in the tournament."
We've been struggling for awhile now...we just found ways to win games. But look at the Purdue game, the Indiana games, the games in the tournament. We're not playing great basketball and haven't been. We've just won a lot of close games - which is a lot better than losing close games. But it hasn't been dominating even though the B1G records say otherwise.
Was that a timeout, or were the refs just asking Harris "Ya alright punkin?"
Oh we needed that 3 so bad.
Thank you Zak
Need a stop
There is plenty of time to come back, but what can we do to build mo?
gonna be way more important than GR3 next year.
Stops on D would be a good start
That's typical missed Jordan Morgan bunny
More three attempts from Payne and less of those please.
5/18 from 3 is a big part of the reason we're down so much. Take it back up to our season average (so 2-3 more threes) and it's a close game even with how bad we've played
mcgary was a space eater in the paint and created havoc down low. we miss him a lot on D, especially rebounding.
Has Spike taken a shot? Where is Levert?
but I wish McGary could play. It would make all the difference in the world.
Capital One!
Three straight shitty games, really. Just lucky the first three had been against inferior opponents. Almost wish they'd have lost sooner, the reality check was coming and I'd have rather it come against someone else. Well, not against Ohio State, either.
MSU is tired, but we're gassed. They only had to play two tough games this weekend (their first was NW) while we had three. That's killing us.
need better effort, regardless
BTT should start on Weds, semis Friday, give Saturday off, play Championship on Sunday
"...Trey Burke ain't walking through that door!!!"
9 or 10 now.
Need to continue this mini-run. Score points!
We can Win.
Still.
You've pulled outta holes before.
Show the world what we're made of.
Win. This. Game.
Manny Harris says he should be tossed for that.
Glad one of MSU's slaps finally gets called
Dirty play imo
That's because they use their arms all the time.
Damnit Jon, pas the ball out
wtf what that Horford...
18-0 on points off turnovers. I think i spotted a problem....
Spike! Huge play.
