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
What is up with Novak lately.....No leadership, cant shoot, not taking charges.....Burke is bailing Michigan out for the past 4 games. If Novak plays like this in the Tourny, then we would get beat in the first round. LEADERSHIP is what im looking for.
Tons of buckeyes in the stands. It's nice to see Walmart to let so many of their employees have a saturday off...
Can I have dome of what your drinking. Sounds better than what's on my glass
Stop watching then.
at all.
Given the guys we have in place, I doubt there's any other coach in the country who would get more out of this team.
When we're sporting a top 10 team for most of next year, you'll see what Beilein can do with a great team
Its kind of amazing we're only down 13. It feels like we're down 30. Hopefully Sullinger will cool off, we'll play a little better D and shoot a little better and we'll be right there
Every time I see that MJ Gatorade commercial, I think ESPN is going to do 30 for 30 on him. I then get disappointed when I realize it's just an ad.
Seeing Steve Nash in college is weird... now back to the game.
hi guys, its not like this HASNT happened before. yesterday we scored 20 pts at half. lets all chill out a bit - this team is going to make a run and pull it below 10. they may not win, but they're not going to get run off the court.
the difference is sullinger right now. if he picks up a quick foul to start the half, the whole dynamic changes.
I blame the basketball band! A trumpet has been 10 cents sharp the entire time and it's affecting our concentration!
/s
What does that mean?
We have to double Sullinger this half. Make them hit their outside shots with tired legs.
I'd rather lose because of their shooters than watch Sullinger make three footers all game.
We can't play any worse than we did in the first half. Play hard, hit some shots and get back in this game. Go Blue!
Chaz Bono wearing a Michigan shirt. I threw up in my mouth!
Yeah, well, Ohio is an inferior academic institution.
Gotta love the Ohio hitler ad...
If they can come out of the half with a few early threes from Burke and THJ, I don't think it's out of the question to see us build enough momentum to make this a game. Still, with the way Sullinger is playing, it'll be tough to see us winning this.
15-4 rally to start the half. We'll get within 4 with 7 min to go, but we'll be down 7 with 4 min to go. Novak will hit a huge 3 to be down 4. I can't say how the final 3:30 plays out, other than GO BLUE!
Does he only predict football?
Is capable of falling apart with a couple calls against him. He can be a head case.
Mi played 45 mins last night and all starters played 40+ mins. Who has the tired legs
i hope Mitch M can bring some toughness to this team next season ... ala Zeller
I mean come on 13 points aint shit. We got Sullinger his 2nd foul, we only shot 25% and hit what 2-12 from 3 point land? All that went wrong and it is only 13. we can come back. If we hit 6 plus 3 pointers in the 2nd half I know it will be a game. Let's go blue
28% from the floor. That is all.
I wish CBB would go with the tip off for possession tie ups
Hell I think rich rod would have put upper points
Go away
Now, just go. If you're going to hate on Beilein, then go and start a thread somewhere (you can't here anyway, thankfully). I hear MLive is looking for content...
Wow great hands by Burke.
They're just playing harder than us.
we don't have our "A" game and they know it; we're their rival and they mean to plant us into the floor...
Soft
I don't think that speech that everyone was hoping for during halftime happened. It looks like maybe they just ate a few hot dogs instead.
How is that a foul if he is straight up and down
Defensive charge on Smith Jr. just now I think....
Throw in the towel and get the bench some play time
Just go away troll.
No flow whatsoever
Is it really good game planning to have J.Mo setting high screens on offense the majority of the time? What the hell is he going to do with the ball from the top of the arc? Once in a blue moon, he cuts through the key to open a passing lane. Otherwise it's like watching an oak tree take up space where a guard or SF should be.
Morgan looks good.
not Morgan's day
Airball
closer to the hoop...
Is it possible this could push us to the 4 line?
I don't think so, but I know nothing about what goes into the selection
They claim to be placing more emphasis on the "eye test". This isn't helping us there.
If that is true then this is not helping one bit
