Michigan vs. OHIO NCAA Tourney basketball Game Open Thread
Only one game going on, and TNT says 7:15 tip off. Beat OHIO!! And Go Blue!!
Of all teams we are getting hosed
by OHIO! Thanks seniors...still time to turn this around. Is OHIO the other Ohio's little sister?
why is Novak even on the floor? Hate to say it, but he has been a liability the last three games.
morgan and smot should play the rest of the game.
Yup, the one time Ohio misses a shot...Novak tries to jump through the defender.
Way to send a message, Novak.
Every time we push it we do something dumb.
Fast breaks have killed us; should just take the ball out.
Novak checked out two weeks ago. Prove me wrong, Z
We can't make a layup!? We don't play D. Ohio hasn't missed a FT!?
When did our seniors start being bad? Last couple weeks may ruin their legacy. Senior night, B1G tourney, and maybe this...?
I dont think the seniors will ruin their legacy....their legacy was winning a big ten title, first time since the 80's (i think) and helped bring michigan basketball back to where it hasnt been in a long time...relivence....not 1,2, or even three bad losses can take that away from them.
Its like we just played to win the big ten and that was good enough for the team....since we have won the big ten title we have play really bad.....i dont want to believe we would be just satisifed with that.....come on boys
...is the biggest problem, not motivation.
Kenpom says we play good D!!!!
This is the game of every single Ohio player's lives.
They are 201st in the nation in FG%. Shooting 57% tonight
They are 201st in the nation in 3pt%. Shooting 46% tonight
They are 211th in the nation in FT%. Shooting 100% tonight (11-11)
They have a 66% FT shooter for the season....he is 6-6 from FT tonight.
Everything is going their way. Dammit.
Why not pull up for the midrange J there? I don't understand why players are so hell-bent on going all the way to the rim.
MAC > B1G. Congrats on your shared B1G championship. Lame
FMFL
Very soft. No heart. No one wants to penetrate. Utter disappointment.
Novak just looks sad out there.
Not sure what's wrong with him.
I knew we were in trouble when there was only 1 upset yesterday.
Think about this - if we hadn't screwed the pooch against Purdue we would have been OUTRIGHT BIG TEN CHAMPS. Now start playing ball.
Why did we have to play on upset day.
Time for a run
Stop complaining about the calls, you loser. Ohio is winning because Ohio has been the better team by far. Michigan plays no defense and can't do a thing on offense if Burke is bottled up (which he is). This team has been exposed.
I am going to die of heart ache
Menphis was such a tough match-up for MSU in the 2nd round? Yeah... They're gone too.
This is shaping up to be a good day for the Spartans.
And those who'd rather play Ohio than Belmont....Kenpom this...
Stu for three....not tonight.
Michigan has to work so hard just to get a decent shot off. Ohio does not.
How was that shooting???
still wondering that when he tossed a pass while they blew the whistle...
Novak gets No. 4 with 6 minutes left. FUCK
oh man, how did Novac end up on Cooper? he doesnt have the footspeed
1 foul left in Novak's career
HOW IN THE FUCK WAS THAT A SHOT? HOW DO THEY KNOW WHEN HE'S SHOOTING? ALL HE HAS TO DO IS LEAVE HIS FEET?
Sorry I need to (/rage)
Noval needs to knock his ass on the floor if he's gonna foul him
That call was obviously a joke, right?
it's almost better if he fouls out.
Alright who are actually believes we aren't getting hosed right now? Not saying it's the reason we're losing, but this is just turrible.
the refs are refereeing like shit too.
Novak has had a nightmarish performance.
Was that their first missed FT?
Yup....12-13 now. Normally they are a 68% FT shooting team for the season.
Novak on the bench may be a benefit
TREY!!!!!!!!!!
BURKE! So clutch
there you go!!!!
Trey Burke is cold blooded!
Huge 3 for Burke!
