Michigan vs. Nebraska Basketball Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

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.

3-3 from 3! Vogrich is feeling it.* THJ was taking it to the hoop to slump bust.* Whatcha got Smotrycz?

*Hopefully, these are not just products of playing Nebraska.

because he is the only potential point guard left on the roster (sorry Jbart and Eso) after stu leaves and trey cannot play all 40 especially against good teams. Depth is one of the most important aspects of college basketball. This year we may have a lack of depth in the frontcourt but next year we will have a lack of depth in the backcourt.

As bad as Nebraska. What's the worst Penn State team in recent memory? This is almost as bad as the Northwestern team that put in the chubby Asian kid that Webber and Rose were laughing at and the Crisler fans were cheering for to score.

During one of the TV timeouts, they must have added some larger rims.  This is crazy how many shots are falling now that the game is out of reach - on both sides.

We played a great game. Smotcryz is shelling up, it doesn't look good for him this season. 13  minutes, no field goal attempts, no free throws, 1 Defensive rebound, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. It might be something he can work out of in the off season because his confidence is shot. Hardaway is fighting through it, and I think he'll be fine. We have a week off between Illinois and Ohio, and I think he'll get through it then and come up big against Ohio. I hope Smotcryz can get stuff figured out in that week as well - we really need him to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament.

Oh and watching the end of the game? Man we have no bench. I think Colton and Blake could get much better with some more playing time, but man that is it.
