MSU second half open thread
Let's hope for a strong second half showing to close the gap.

Or, the competition is much better now. The Big 10 is stacked with great talent.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:31 PM ^
This is the worst performance of the year.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
This is the worst performance in a long time.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:31 PM ^
i hope we all can see the towel has been thrown in by JB. Time to turn off
February 12th, 2013 at 10:31 PM ^
This shit is just funny now.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:31 PM ^
Needs redshirt back
February 12th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
This team has the talent to beat anyone, but clearly they are lacking all sorts of other things. I can see us losing in the first round to a 14 or 15 seed or making it to the final four. This is extremely frustrating.
I absolutely HATE how, in general, I feel like both the football and basketball teams have been straight up out-worked and out-energied by our rivals for the last 5+ years. To me that is 100x more infuriating than losing due to talent.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
This is fucking embarassing. Can we please show some pride and make this a respectable game?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
has gr3 been such a non-factor since he dunked in MN?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
Freshman.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
No matter how good your team can shoot, they will be off a few games a year. If they cannot play defense or get to the basket and the foul line, they will not win those games.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
If you play defense you never get blown out. See MSU's losses. You will have horrid offense games a few times a year. Thats part of the game. Lack of effort and heart is not. If this happened to Izzo's team MSU would not have a basketball in the gym for the next week during practice.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
Take a note from our beloved little brother brawn beats finesse 99% of the time
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
We stunk so bad that our most biased announcer (Mike Tirico) jumped ship 10 minutes in. I'll check them out when the big boys come to Crisler.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
hate how he keeps gettin paired up w/ dick-ich
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
Neutral courts. This team is undefeated at home and on neutral courts...against good competition too.
They are a shit show on the road though.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
hahaha fuck my life.. they're putting in the back ups and kicking our asses. Fuck this.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
I mean, just dammit.
God damn kittens.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
What the f. We at like we have absolutely no f ing idea what we are doing. I have never seen a more terrified team play. If we're gonna go anywhere, we have to grow the Frick up
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
Thank you for not swearing.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
Damn they put in Russell Brick. Human victory cigar.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
But hate the half asses effort more than anything. Wow. This is a big set back. Hope we can bounce back!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
Sweet 16 is where this team will go. We play great against average teams, but don't have the offensive sets or rebounding to beat good to great teams.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:43 PM ^
to the Sweet Sixteen.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
I know it won't change the game, but how in the hell is it OK for the ref just to watch Burke's arm get grabbed on that drive?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
Only one thing can cheer me up-- Da'Quans new video
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
:( Hopslam
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
Take the maize jerseys away. Take away the rankings. Thus team deserves shit. Bunch of wimps bringing a wet sock to a gun fight.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
This is much worse than the first half. I'm done with this game and will resume mgofollowing tomorrow. I hope to read in the morning that I missed the most epic of comebacks... (but am not planning on it).
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
How much deer antler spray has Harris used tonight?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
Kenpom is not our friend
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
and not giving 100% effort right now. Tell them to show some fucking pride.
Put in your 8-12th men and let them play a few minutes.
Game is over anyway.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
night fellas, this is funny now
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
WE ON. When everyone's off nsync. That's what we're seeing.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
Down by 23. LOLZ
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Time to play some Battlefield 3 and shoot some mother f-ers in the face.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:36 PM ^
it sucks to be a fan sometimes
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
I don't pay as much attention to basketball as I do football. Not by a long shot. But does anyone know if part of the problem is just that we have zero leadership in the team? It seemed like even though Douglass and Novak weren't the most talented guys in the court, they were great leaders and kept the team focused.
It really seemed like this team thought it was so good through the first part of the year that it could just out-talent everyone like Kentucky did last year. And now they just have a deer in headlights look every time they step onto the court in a big game.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Haven't been this embarassed as a Michigan fan since the Gatorbowl. Fucking unbelievable.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
now we are playing hot potato
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Ok, that's it.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Fuck this shit. Fuck state and the whores who go there.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Fuck this.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
Look, if you are honest with yourself, we are the fifth best team in the B10! Hardway is good for 30 minutes against every other good B10 team. GR3, is a good true freshman who lost his mogo, Blouses is a solid freshman who every once in while can be lights out. Horford and Morgan have virtually no offense. We check out Sweek 16!!!!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:40 PM ^
You are right on. We are probably the 4th or 5th best team (probably better than Wisky) in the Big Ten and if we get to the sweet 16 with this team, I'd be thrilled.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
Complete lack of effort. They are not representing Michigan well tonight. Even Burke with 16 is playing immature. That charge on Appling was sad. Why can't this coaching staff get these guys motivated?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
Being a lions fan. It sucks.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:39 PM ^
Hey now.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
Dawson, I hope you're okay. You don't want to bump into mcgary. He's not cheeseburgered out like nix.
