Michigan vs MSU MBB Open Thread

Walton still having flu symptoms?  Beilein doesn't think he can handle the pressure?  Anyone know the story?

What is wtih all of the long twos early in the shot clock? 

Need to call a time out.

Edit: Good. Need to get defense back faster and figure out something to get inside on offense. Stauskas back will help.

I love how Izzo is a foot inside the line while we're on offense on that end.  WTF.

We're something like 2 for 12 after our 4 for 4 start.

Well this isn't good

Caris is terrible

if levert can't stay within 10 pts of harris.  not looking good so far.

They need to regain their composure.

Fire Belein /s

Okay - I think we've learned that we can't take Nik out of the game.

Can not play at this level. Find him a seat

GR3 might be more athletic than the guys guarding him, but it isn't really showing right now.

Caris has really not had it recently

Where are you Mr. Robinson?

good start.. but now just a BRUTAL stretch. Won't act like this game is over- it's not even close. But all my friends said I was just protecting myself by saying State would win. No.. I just know they would be fired up.. and Michigan winning would just be too great, we're not allowed nice things anymore, for whatever reason.

Stauskas comes out, our offense disappears.

Jesus I really like Spike Albrecht and his passion, but come on.  We're not going to beat a top ten team playing him at PG for 30 minutes.

No transition defense, and all of the offense is one on.one. Unless something changes drastically, this is a 10-15 point loss.

Better handle this storm or else this one is going to get ugly.

Levert and Robinson. One of you guys do something, please. This is pathetic.

foul?

Has a very favorable match up

these shots aren't even close right now... what is this.

Morgan needs to hold onto the frickin ball.

Few o-rebs, can't get inside.  This could be a long night.

MSU on a 19-6 run since the first few minutes.  Come on guys, get your shit together.

Yeah needed that from LaVert

Finally Levert gets and hits an open three. Hopefully that's the end of the streak.

WOW. That is not a foul

Hope that gets Caris going

Do we ever practice in bound plays?

Is it me or are we letting an MSU player under the hoop too easily on nearly every possession?

GR3 second foul, probably to the bench until the 2nd half

Irvin scares me big time in this game.  He's looked like a freshman early.

So much for enforcing hand checking. Plus Izzo standing in bounds. Plus that Robinson block was ugly from a results-standpoint, but all ball.

Fouls now 5-1 in favor of state.  What a surprise.

No names off the bench
