rundown of Michigan's riser
Michigan vs. Wisconsin Basketball Open Thread
Our end of game/end of half strategy is terrible.
"They will meet a dastardly fate here for that! There isn't a Michigan Man who wouldn't like go out and scalp those Buckeyes right now."
Getting some quality minutes from Bielfeldt. After the slow start I'll take being up by one at the half. Need to come out strong in the second half.
Where is Wiscy's student section located? I hear them, but can't see them.

Our traditional horrible toss up before half-time went according to plan.
"There will be blood on the field and it won't be mine." -KK
we've got a lead on the road in a game we were down 9 pts, I'll take it!
And a game where we're playing 5 on 8. When Dylan, actual journalists, and Inside the friggin' Hall are complaining about the officiating benefiting not Michigan, it's pretty bad.
Max and Spike gave some good minutes there, GR3 looking like a freshman again unfortunately.
Blank.....Blank......You're not looking at the big picture here.
Was it just me or did that half go by really quick?

I'll deal.
"I love him, he's a great coach, he's a great mentor, he's a great friend. He's every single thing you want a college coach to be, and he does it flawlessly." -David Molk
Run a play at end of the half. The Burke throw up a prayer at the buzzer can't be the best play in the book.
If we are down by a bucket at the end of a game in the tournament since that is about the percentage of us making a bucket at the end of half/regulation
Best case half for Wisco and we have the lead.
I like how JB has the rotation going this game: no Morgan, so they go double big with mcgary and Max, then double small to end with Trey and Spike.
they are +10 in those rotations I think

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Ugly half, but that is expected at Kohl. Happy to have the lead after what happened at the beginning of the game. We need to keep finding quality shots and we'll be alright.
Nice 15 - 5 run to close the half with the lead. We took wiscys best shot and still got the lead on the road. Don't see them being able to regroup, i think we start to pull away now.
Trey Burke one on one and a long jumper against someone he can easily take off the dribble...
Reporter: “Did you visit the Parthenon while in Greece?”
Shaquille O’Neill: “I can’t really remember the names of all the clubs we went to.”
Wisky shooting % returning to normal levels. Stop panicking about every little mistake people. Feeling good about this one!
Feel free to beat me up if it doesn't turn out good!!!

Also why don't we try a pick and roll at the end of the half. The burke iso isn't working!
I really like Bielfeldt's game.

GRIII needs to step up. He's been wilting in these big road games and we need his production. He needs to learn to move off ball and with the ball. He can't just stand there and hope someone gets him the ball with an open look.
What M's field goal percentage now? Anyone knows? I"m hoping for more regression to the mean (in an upward manner)... :)
So, here are some quick numbers -
Michigan:
FG% - 38.2% (13-34)
3PT% - 33.3% (3-9)
FT% - maybe in the second half
Wisconsin -
FG% - 44.0% (11-25)
3PT% - 36.4% (4-11)
FT% - 33.3% (2-6)
Most of the other box score stats are otherwise pretty even, as you might guess. Similar rebounds, assists, fouls, but Wisconsin has a few more turnovers. I think we were building momentum slowly there, so hopefully we start strong in the second half.
So everyone is aware, a quick series of tests on "The Dan Dakich Index" shows it to be about as valid as geocentrism and Piltdown Man.

Withstood the surge, got great minutes from the bench, up by one. Wiscy cannot shoot like that all afternoon.
Morgan healthy for this game, I think we would be killing them. Really wish Morgan had been healthy during this stretch, just to see how we match up against the best of the best at our top level.
That being said, our bench had really proven itself over this stretch
I do it for my love of the Streets
As much as i want to hate Dakich, he is repeatly the most informed annoucer noting the improvement of Mcgary, morgans injury effect etc.
He just got done saying that Ohio was his #1 B1G team. UM 2nd IU 3rd. really!
"So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah!" -- Lloyd
Thank you. No need to hate because everyone else does. Awww, he didn't have our team number one in his viewpoint, God forbid somebody list us No. 2 and not No. 1; guess what, he's right Ohio is playing very well and turning into a good "team".
The whole thing with GRIII and his elbowing or whatever was wierd I'll admit, though I'll also admit I didn't follow the situation and know just what I read here. But c'mon people, relax a little bit and realize that your listening to a knowledgeable, a rarity these days.
GRIII, 0-2 shooting, 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 foul
The only positive is the odds of him coming back go up slightly. Imagine a more experienced and polished GRIII next year.
Wearing the old road uniforms becuase Adidas hasn't sent replacements yet for the ones that ripped at Minnesota.
Can't wait for the bitch thread that will inevitably ensue.
That we are finally using two bigs. We are playing much better than this score would indicate. I really like where we are heading into the second half.
I keep hoping that commercial with all those moster kids on the football team will actually show some game footage.
That Stauskas kid is more than just a shooter
...and we win going away. Seven missed layups in the first half.
Read on twitter that we are wearing last seasons unis because replacements for Morgan and Burkes ripped jerseys haven't arrived from Adidas yet.

Damn that was unlucky

GR3 should secured the rebound that and secured it before going up.

Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
do we double team so much? It always leaves somebody open for the jumper.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
Sake why do we leave shooters?
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!


i will take the halftime lead
