Have some pride Michigan
February 12th, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
prob worh it
February 12th, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
We're going to be fine, come tournament time we won't face any of these crowds. We already proved we can win on neutral sites. Don't worry I'm pissed off looking at the score but skies the limit.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
we can't play defense, and GRIII and Stauskus have gone dormant. Trey Burke is simply not as good as advertised, Hardaway gets frazzled in big games, and our bigs can't score. In Big Ten play, this team has been no better than last year's.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
This only happens in hostile environments
February 12th, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
Haaaaaaaaaaach fest in east Lansing
Watch your back
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
Up side:
They are a solid top 5-10 team.
Down side:
They split against every top 25 team.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
I hate these cunts oh so much. They try their hardest twice a year and play average the rest.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
A devotee then are you.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
over-rated
February 12th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
Happy Gilmore is on.I can't watch anymore of this.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
not fouled? Doesn't change the game but B1G is thug ball.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
Still getting out rebounded.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
Alright guys we just need to hit six three pointers in a row while also not letting them score a point and we're RIGHT BACK IN THIS!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:22 PM ^
Now I feel much better about this. Sounds really easy.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
MSU is clearly outplaying Michigan but the officiating has been atrocious
February 12th, 2013 at 10:44 PM ^
I mean seriously...all this bitching about the refs is loser talk. Refs favor the team that is trying hard and hustling more. Michigan is doing neither, and when that happens, calls are going to go against you. That's how sports work.
Try harder, and better things will happen. End of story.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
I never thought too much about people "getting" the rivalries, but it does seem like OSU and MSU come out and play harder against us in both football and basketball. I know the coaches talk about the rivalries a lot, but the team doesn't come out with any passion or toughness. MSU and OSU come out ready to rock.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Yup, seems to happen in every sport.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
And burn those We On shirts. They are fucking stupid to begin with.
They look like something Woody Harrelson would have worn in White Men Can't Jump (except for the lack of neon colors).
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
Doubt we get as many calls in AA.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
This is where I just really want to coach lose his shit and go off of the refs.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
John Beilien is a joke he has this team ready for a game versus Northwestern! An embarrassment! Neg me all u want I am tired of this! Completely unprepared!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
They have been in every game this year they have lost until tonight. Kind of wonder if that Wiscy loss got into their head. Sparty just ain't that good.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
Sparty may not be as good as they look tonight but they are probably the best team in the B10. I want to see them play IU in the B10 Tourney to judge but Michigan isn't mentally or physically tough enough to hang with them when they are on top of their game. I don't like to admit it, but it is true. We match up better with Indiana which is why they didn't totally embarrass us. This program still has work to do before they are on an elite level. They are still very young and the experience will help down the road. The expectations have kind of grown out of control and the team is getting hit with a reality check.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Better a thorough ass-kicking than a heart-ripping loss like in Wisconsin. Wouldn't want to have either but whatever.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
The only explanation for getting shown up this badly is just a complete lack of focus and toughness.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
or just not that good
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Is this the worse game you can remember?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
Nope one year like 10-12 years ago they played at Duke and opened down like 22-0 or something crazy.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
blame it on the zebras
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
I think Dave Brandon should start branding UM BB as "gritty" and "tough". Maybe then we could jump on people and not get fouls called. Home teams that are playing well have enough of an advantage, do these "tough" defensive teams really need the extra help?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
I hate Big Ten officials! They're terrible!!!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
There will be hell to pay March 3rd is all I got to say.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:23 PM ^
This team looks lost. They are young and this could be a confidence killer.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
On the bright side it doesnt look like we'll have to worry about guarding the inbounder in this game.......
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
win a game playing against the refs too
February 12th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
You're delisional if you think the refs are the reason we're losing this game. They're not helping but we're being absolutely dominated in every single aspect of this game, no matter what the refs were doing we'd be losing. Please don't do this.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^

I'm giving up Big Ten refs for lent.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
At least GoT commercials are exciting...
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
This team frustrates me. While teams get up for us and play their best and with effort, we simply dont match it. And that goes to coaching. Could it be Belien is not used to coaching a team with NBA talent? Its different coaching teams that have good college players but not nba talent. This team has talent but lacks effort at times.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
I know coach b recruits for his system but shit can we maybe get some 7 footers? We're goin to get run off the floor against any team with big guys
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
this where recruiting a system sucks. a typical belien team has never had the athletes hes got now. this team needs to and should be running more.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
Bo has to be turning over in his grave with the way Mi plays against its rivals
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
They are playing their worst game of the season. In my opinion you don't judge a team on the best or worst performances.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:23 PM ^
This is exactly how they played in the first half of the Ohio and Indiana games. The difference is MSU is not going to let off the gas.
