Michigan vs. Nebraska Basketball Open Thread
First time that's ever been a subject line. Don't want to put too much into one game, but as a winnable road game coming off a loss, it'd be nice to get this one. 8:30 BTN (assuming MSU/PSU doesn't run long for some dumb reason). Go Blue, make it just like football.

Seriously. How many times do we have to watch Burke retreat to near halfcourt?
February 8th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
About everytime he gets the ball. Haha
February 8th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
Disagree. It's only this past month that Michigan's offense has been lethargic. Lots of that has to do with THJ being a complete non-factor. In fact, I'd argue that, this past month, Michigan has been winning in spite of THJ, not because of him like last year.

What I wouldn't give for a dominating 20+ point win. I don't care if its home or away. Just go smoke someone we're supposed to (even better if it's someone we're not supposed to beat)
February 8th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
As long as they win, I don't care.
It will make no difference come NCAA time.

February 8th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
have you seen Vogrich play defense?
February 8th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
nice charge. good thing to do when you're shot won't fall. good sign.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
I had the same problem. I shot lights out one year and the next I couldn't shoot for shit. Contacts are amazing.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
THJ drawing the charge! Way to contribute in a way not reflected on the stat sheet.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
THJ breaks the drought!
February 8th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
finally.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Timmy is about to catch fire....Mark my words.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
Hopefully he does soon.
At the very least, in March.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
That's what Timmy's good at. Using his athleticism to create in the lane. Half the time he'd draw a foul on that shot, too.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
We need more bitching about no backdoor cuts so that Burke will keep defying the boards with awesome finds.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
He just isn't making them. Not sure if that's better or worse.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
Not sure if you're talking about this game or the year but this game has been his best game that I've seen in terms of shot selection. Still way to many 3s though and if he's not making them then he needs to give a head fake and squeeze a mid-range jumper.
His shot selection for the year has been horrible. He needs to drive way more often which in turn will make us a much, much better team.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
I meant today. The last month or so = notsomuch.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
YOU CAN"T STOP TIM HARDAWAY!
February 8th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
to follow a boxscore? I don't have BTN and ESPN doesn't have a boxscore going.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
Except for the whole "ball in hoop" thing
February 8th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
How the fuck did Nebraska win three conference games?
February 8th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
The guys are starting to look relaxed again. Maybe they should play a scout team half before the game starts to get the bad stuff out of the way? lol
February 8th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
A trey from Trey! BWAHAHAHA where do they come up with stuff?!?!!?
February 8th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 9:56 PM ^
I didn't notice it 'til you brought it up. That's excessive!
February 8th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
Jordan Morgan looking good on defense.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 9:53 PM ^
Wow. If we could have gotten Horford back and kept Morgan fresh, we'd have won a few more games. Jordan's really good when he's not tired or on the bench with fouls.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:53 PM ^
Hardaway!
February 8th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
Horrid play call with only 4 seconds.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
seriously, THJ, keep doing that.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
Smots just got punked.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
Granted, that range is 3 feet. But it's a start.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
I will love Hardaway forever if he plays like this the rest of the year. I love that he's driving for a change and when he does that, he becomes so much more effective and opens up the perimeter.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
Smots is pure junk. Sit his ass down. Lazy play
February 8th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
coming for morgan, I can't stress that enough.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
We gonna' miss Mr. Novak.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
Thank you, coaches, for whatever was said at halftime.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
I've always wondered why Jordan Morgan isn't a primary option very often. He's getting lots of easy looks tonight and seems to be very solid down low. It seems like he either scores 14 or 6 per game; nights like this make me wonder why there are those low-scoring games.
Am I just overvaluing his abilities? Does he get into foul trouble too often? He has some good post moves and is the only guy on our team who could be considered an inside threat.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
The difference is when he goes strong he scores more. When he limp-wrists it, he doesn't make his shots and gets depressed. That affects his play.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
Morgan's looking amazing today. Making himself available for those cuts and finishing much stronger. I would still love to see him make a monster jam, just to add more momentum and excitement.
