left,we start taking BAD SHOTS and miss the easy ones = 11 points in last 12 minutes of half...we have blown a  15-10 and 12 point lead in out last 3 games.

I don't even know what to point my finger at anymore...

When other teams get on runs because of our miserable, sorry ass, piece of garbage defense, our offense turns into hot potatoe on the perimeter. No one wants to move, no one wants to hustle, no one can focus enough to make a damn layup....

The part that irks me the most is Coach B sitting on the sideline in silence with a confused/ concerned look on his face... I know it's not his style, but PLEASE YELL AT SOMEONE! This team is so soft and really doesn't need you to pat them on the back after blowing a 11 pt lead to end th half down by 4.

THROW A DAMN CHAIR AT THE REFS ER SOMETHING!

Fuck this team is awful on the road. Fucking pathetic that because you're playing in a different arena with some people screaming loudly causes you to go from a top 10 team to one that can't even beat Penn State. This just reinforces the fact that everyone who thought we would blowout Purdue are idiots.

Burke should get going in the second half.  He can't be any worse than he was in the first.

                that Michigan had a big who could score?  It feels like it's been forever.  Morgan has always had the weakest hands of any center in the country, so he does goofy shit to avoid any contact when finishing-- like that ridiculous fade-way jumper he took from two fucking feet away from the basket.  Mcgary has no touch and should probably try to force a foul call more often.  I had hopes that Horford would develop a low-post game, but now I just hope he doesn't totally shit the bed when he comes out on the floor.



Oh, and Levert had one okay game (the whole 4-8 from 2 stat is misleading since he also whiffed 3 3pointers.  His eFG was not good).  But he's back in full deer in the headlights mode now.  Why the hell is he taking guys one-on-one?  It's usually bad whenever any player, even a good one, does this.  But LeVert's offensive game is limited under the best of circumstances.  Argh.

No lead is safe with this team. At any moment their defense can become complete lackadaisical fluttering about. I can't think of a recent team that was more frustrating to watch, knowing what they're capable of, yet also knowing that don't yet have the heart to put it all together. GAH!

I'm not saying Bielein is the reason for this, but a team takes on the character and personality of their coach. Same as units in the military. They just really seem to lack the "heart" and "toughness" that our football team preaches. These guys are capable of so much more.

Where is the toughness, and inside game we saw against michigan state? I swear to god this team is bipolar. They could be up thirty and I still wouldn't be sure they were going to win the way they give up double digit leads. Sick and tired of this. I'm tired of these nail biters against bad teams.

The guy I want to see step up (besides Burke - he has only four points) is Hardaway.  He was dreadful on D and his shot selection on offense wasn't too good.  He's one of our most experienced players and needs to be a leader now.

Watching this team squander opportunities is almost as exhausting as watching newborn twins. You know whats worse? Watching newborn twins while watching us blow leads. At least I have hope that the twins will get better - no hope for our D.

knowing that they tried their best, than it is to watch this immensely talented team just snooze games away. I wonder how much better this team could be if Novak was still here. Someone just needs to yell at this team

is the only player that has that "dog" in him. No one else shows up on the road. You gotta thrive in hostile environments and feed off the crowds negative energy. We fold routinely.

Yeah, this is either going to end like the Purdue and Iowa games did earlier this season....or like the Penn State game last week did. 

I understand that if you're going to take a couple seconds to catch your breath and stand around, do it on offense.  That being said, if we're collectively too tired to run a motion offense, we need subs or a timeout.

Our defense hasn't been that bad.  It's the tired offense that leads to one player driving and taking an awful shot.  After that it's a long rebound and an easy transition bucket for Purdue.
