Michigan vs MSU Bball - Open Thread
Great to see all the support for MSU after this week's tragedy
February 18th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Again a dude comes wide open off the ball
February 18th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Bad officiating crew (not that there are any good ones).
February 18th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
Tall bald ref is no bueno
February 18th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Cool opening. Starting Tschetter is maybe not so cool
February 18th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Dug dominating to begin is nice to see.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Boy you couldve made a shit ton of cash this year taking every team we have played for the money line. We are favored again. Crazy.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Oh shit!!! Gus has given Dug a nickname... Duggie Fresh! LOL
Dug is on fire! Already 7 points!
February 18th, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
Another defensive lapse leads to an open 3.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
Dickinson is so slow to help.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
Howard needs to hire a defensive specialist this offseason.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
get tschedder the hell out
February 18th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
I don't know how he's ahead of Reed in the depth chart. Reed brings a lot more.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:19 PM ^
It’s that he’s also Hunter’s backup, and we need at least one of them on the floor at all times. If they both start, there’s a decent chance that one of them (particularly Reed) gets into foul trouble, and then isn’t available to spell Hunter.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Even so, that shouldn't mean that Cheddar plays starter minutes. In the 2nd half, if Dickinson and Reed aren't in foul trouble, that should be the lineup to end games.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Agreed. But Tarris has 2 fouls now and Juwan is leaving him in; if he picks up a 3rd before half it’s going to be a very cheesy second half.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
Watch Tschetter drop that rebound and tell me it’s not a lack of effort.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
Will is BAD on D.Joey Hausser should not be able to just drive straight by you.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:17 PM ^
People who thought Will Tschetter should play more are getting a glimpse on why he shouldn’t
February 18th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
Man, Tschetter is a sieve on defense.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
Answered is the question as to why Juwan Howard has started TWill.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:19 PM ^
Lordy, Tschetter is so bad I want to see Williams play.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:19 PM ^
Lack of athleticism by Cheddar Cheese will limit his playing time. Cannot let that drive to the basket happen
February 18th, 2023 at 8:19 PM ^
It looked like Reed was coming in just before the TO.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
Put in TWill, sigh
February 18th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
We need more Reed and Baker. Less Cheddar. No depth on this team. Starters need to play 36+ minutes.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
I bet Jace/Barnes/Yoyo would be better on defense than Tschetter
February 18th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Hunter getting up a healthy number of threes
February 18th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Rebounding is gonna be a problem tonight.
It has already been a problem for awhile.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
One of the worst offenses in the B1G is 7/10 from the field. We really need to tighten up since their defense is good and will be hard to score on.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
Good thing Jett laid on the ground pouting
February 18th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
Reed can't afford these silly reach in fouls.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
Hunter doesn’t chase an errant pass and give up a dunk in transition— on brand for the season
February 18th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
I'm not so sure that was even a bad pass, but to hunter slow ass anything not within the elbows is a errant pass.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
Dug is ballin
February 18th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Stop. The. Damn. Ball. On. The. Break
February 18th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Jett dribbles for 10 seconds and gets nowhere. Kobe is so much more efficient getting to his spot.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Jett has done that a couple times so far.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Jett obviously gets no calls. Bufkin can get pushed into the Huron River and wouldn’t get a call.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
It's a sad statement when Michigan is "experienced" in welcoming a team coming off a school shooting. First UVA and now this. Sick.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
Yeah, I hadn't recognized that until Gus mentioned it. But, damn, that's discouraging.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Wow, that’s surreal.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Howard should just scour the portal for the best defender and rebounder he can find, regardless of position.
It's so tough to watch how soft we play.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Sparty is well rested, and playing with a lot of emotion early. Once we get settled in defensively and stop giving up a wide open shot on every possession, we should be in good shape.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
Uh...I think you mean IF Michigan stops giving up wide open shots on every possession.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
I have ample evidence since November that this probably won’t happen on the defensive end
February 18th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Have you watched at all this year? There is no settling in defensively they are just bad on defense
February 18th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
State is not good. Michigan is worse. What a decline in basketball in this state the last few years. State will keep their tournament streak. Ugly.
February 18th, 2023 at 8:27 PM ^
The lack of athleticism on this team blows my mind every game. What does this staff value in recruiting?
February 18th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Nobody can play defense.
