Michigan vs. Northwestern Game Thread

That was a disjointed mess because of all the whistles.

I'm hoping more consistent minutes from the starters and better rotations leads to a growing lead. The constant foul calls don't help the flow for sure.

Hunter has to stay out of foul trouble. Offense runs terrible when it doesn't go through him. 

We kept Hunter and Moussa from picking up their 3rd fouls and kept the lead, second half should flow better

Hard game to watch.  Zero crowd energy (at least watching on tv).  So many empty seats down low.  Not sure how you fix that, and I get it is a middle of the week game against NW.  Other middle of the road games and teams show out better.

Just frustrating.  They need to win at home, be nice if the crowd gave them something.  Obviously the team needs to give them something to cheer. 

There were 45 field goal attempts in the entire half.  Oof.

This is such a disjointed game, letting Northwestern just hang around.

NEVER LEAVE ELI

The Professor.

Eli!

Fuck yeah brooks!!!!

Looks like our normal defense is back

there's eli making noise!

6LI

ELI!!!!

Someone here said Eli needs to wake up..HE HAS!

Time out, NU!

So nu?

Diabate straight the fuck up.  Cool foul call jackass

HEliAT Check

(Not really...it was a wide open, within the scheme, look)

That was no foul on Diabate! Pure BS. 

TIL that Big Ten announcers read UMHoops. Big ups to Dylan

28 fouls called in the last 20 minutes....can't establish any flow.

Is this an ACC game or what?  They are calling fouls every time someone drives to the basket.

UMHoops shoutout, that's pretty cool.

jones has been playing better the past few games, but keep in mind he's been going against the worst guards in the big ten. his defense will get exposed by the remaining teams as we go forward.

Crumbling.

jones bad play rearing its head on both ends now

Fucking ref show.

Turnovers just kill this team on offense 

Here come the turnovers yet again 

Man. Enough with the bounce passes to bigs in the lane!!!!! It's not good. Bigs hate it and it's always deflected. 

finally a shot after 3 TOs in a row

Jones bad couple minutes. 12 point lead shrinks to 4.

Sigh. The offense is just inexplicably bad sometimes. 

So a team that gets crushed at the free throw line is in the bonus with 12 to go. How many fucking stupid fouls

They love blowing second half leads still. Hopefully they keep showing the improvement to hold them.

Guys better figure this out.  Losing is not an option.
