Good job with GRIII putting his knee into Craft after the foul had already been called - no chance of a charge at that point.  Should have put his foot into his sternum.

OSU offense actually not playing poorly by their standards.  If we ever cool off, we'll have our work cut out for us.  They came to play today, we've just been better so far.

Keep in mind, Ohio State is No. 2 defensive team in the nation per Ken Pom. And Michigan is lighting the Buckeyes up like its a shootaround.

So OSU goes 1-14 from 3 against Purdue, 4-18 against Nebraska, and now already 4-7 against us? C'mon statistics, I believe in you, please regress to mean.

why dont teams have any kind of inbounds play against osu? packing everyone on the baseline doesnt seem like that great of an idea

A little bit.  But I've watched Michigan all season and they have consistently struggled to get the ball in.  Watching ISU yesterday that have a safe play anytime their initial action doesn't develop on a baseline inbound.  Georges Niang seals his man and they get it to him high and away from the defender.  He's a strong player, but there's no reason some of our longer guys can't do that.  Refs will let you get away with a little push there just like they let the defense get away with grabbing.

What do we think OSU is going to do?  Their only hope is to try to force turnovers and pray that the refs keep letting them foul at will.

They definitely need to adopt the rule that if a coach calls a timeout within a minute of a media timeout, that counts as the media timeout. 3 timeouts and commercial breaks within 1 minute of game time is ridiculous.

Thad Matta almost purple in the face yelling at ref Larry Scirotto during this timeout. Not the first coach to fume at Scirotto this tourney
