Michigan vs OSU Open Thread
Well here we go. 20 minutes till tip-off, playing for a shot against MSU for our first (non-vacated) BTT final/Championship BEAT OHIO
Craft allowed to run rampant on D. I'd guess I'd like to see us beat the crap of whoever has the ball too.
here was Purdue's coach Matt Painter after yesterday's game:
“One of their bigs was just grabbing our players out in the open on a ball screen defense and I just pointed it out,” Painter said. “I said ‘He has both his hands around him.’ (the official) stares right at it and ignores him so, I can’t repeat what I said to him.”
tough shot for stu, you rarely see a guy miss time a shot by so much; there was no doubt the clock ran out before the shot left his hand...
Ya think?
If you're gonna dribble it that much at least get to the basket. With these refs they're gonna call the foul more often than not.
Can we change unis at the half...
And of course a spartan fan calls me to talk shit the moment halftime hit. What a fucking asshole.
Burke's legs are dead. His jumpers are all short and he looks gassed whenever they show a closeup, which is what happens when you play 45 minutes less than 24 hours before another game. We don't have much of a chance unless he finds his second wind at halftime.
MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!
~350 posts at half. Time to start a 2nd half thread?
Yuppppp. Love the idea of a fresh thread for a fresh, new half. Great suggestion.
I hope this disgrace fuels some passioned rage we'll get to see in the second half.
GO BLUE!!
can we leave all the trolls in this thread?
there are few things that piss me off more than missed free throws. and not having clock awareness.
I feel like this team frequently gets off to slow starts. Hoping they pick it up in the second half, but you can't beat good teams like this.
May be the worst half I've ever seen from Stu, and that's saying something
Things can only get better from here. I think we can all agree that this team has been better second half performers this season, so there's reason for hope.
that can win us the game, are we going to be able to score it? Oh, no sense in being a negative Nancy...
Hardaway is 1-4 and the pride of Columbus 0-5...it's not like that's going to go all game.
Jeebus, just jump off the f'n bandwagon then.
Only down 13 and played like a junior high team. Come out make some early shots and I think we can come back.
A couple stops and a couple 3's you're back in it. This is college basketball after all.
Belien sucks we will never win anything big with this let's shoot 3a all day. Settling for co big ten champs is not the answer. Go BIG or go home. Which I fear is tonites agenda. Hell this isn't even a game
congrats; this was a most satisfying use of my first Flamebait downvote.
His team can't make a damn layup right now. That's not a Beilein
You should strongly consider never posting again.
Can we get a mod to just ban this troll?
If we had actual downvoting powers like before, idiots like him would be run off the board.
This. Of all times that the negbang would be reasonable.
Bolivian is a necessary potential outcome.
He's not the one playing like shit. He hasn't missed a layup or a free throw.
I didn't realize you posted on this board? IT'S ONE HALF!
you dickhead. I'm sure Coach Beilein wants us to go inside. Shot selection has been bad but fans like you ANSOLUTELY make me sick. Did you not go through the RR era? Get on board or jump the hell off! You piece of shit.
Oh, and I'll repeat MYSELF: Fuck You.
Go cheer for another team
Won the school our first B1G championship in 26 years. We aren't going to turn into a national power over night.
You know what? We're down 13 and that sucks. But, as bad as we've played we should be down by 20+ Let's see if we can salvage this in the 2nd half; it's not like we can play much worse.
(famous last words)
We always play like shit in the white jerseys
strong start to 2nd half. make it a close game. Beilein will get our troops rallied up
....needs to tap into his inner Greg Oden and play like the 84 year-old that we've seen in other games.
Options. Beer, scotch or sangria. I was drinking scotch for last nights rally, so maybe that works today.
Hope you still have your legs today!
ha blame the jerseys
I just figured out beliens plan. Let's not play hard in the big ten tourney and get a awesome seed in the NCAA tourney .lets play like shit and go home early and prepare for the NCAA tourney.
Like NOW!
Did Beilein fuck your girlfriend or something? You really hate him.
Hey troll, do us all a favor and go fuck yourself
How many 13 point leads has Ohio blown?
So disappointed with Stu for the lack of awareness at the end there. You've got to be better than that. Especially as a senior. It's inexcusable.
It's not been his best game. Looks like a frosh out there.
We will come out of halftime ready to go and with a fire lit under our ass from Beilein getting our boys back on track from a wake up call pep talk and we will come out slinging and come back to overcome and win this game in the 2nd half. Ohio St is not as good as we're making them to be! We stop the sloppiness and bad shots and we will this game. It's our game damn it! Time to break some hearts! GO BLUE! FUCK OHIO
People blaming Beilein are clueless. Morgan a missed dunk, missed free throws, 4 straight possessions with dribbling or passing turnovers.
Those are not coaching mistakes. Guys are tired and there's no depth on this team yet.
I think we make this close if not come back and win it.
It's a single jag off.
