Manny like in my opinion. Coach B's offense is not designed to throw up a shot on the first touch.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
Espn loves indiana!!! It's all Indy!!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
crean is such a creepy looking guy.. i hate the fact the he is related to the Harbaughs
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
That pussy missed the free throw on purpose.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Props to the guys for battling and making it close.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Well we played better than the top two teams here, I'm proud, not a perfect game, but it was a damn good one
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Should have won. Oh well. I feel damn good about this team though.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Damn looked to be right on line, just a few feet long.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Tough loss - but we're showing we belong with the big boys. The Hoosiers are damn good this year.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
If we had decent officials we would have won that game. Where are the Sugar Bowl guys?
January 5th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
Seems like we always come close against good teams, but lose. We'll get them at Crisler.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Idiot post on my part...
January 5th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
I'm still amazed that we were even in a position to win.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Makes it that much tougher to swallow.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Punch to the dick
January 5th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
Just wish we could have those forced threes from Timmy back a couple of two pt shots put us up! Oh well I'll hear some shit at work tommorrow cause iu fans are such dicks!! But ill hang my head high feb 1 paybacks a bitch go blue!!!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Well after trailing by 20 in the first half a 2 point loss is OK. I feel like there were a bunch of calls that went IU's way. Oh well 2 point loss to a higher ranked team on the road shouldnt hurt to bad. Proud of the way the boys fought back in this one.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
We were down by 20 at any point in this game.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Trey dealt with some freshman struggles and when hardaway gets his shot back he hits those before the minute mark, about encouraging as a lose will be.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
ESPN acting like IU was the underdog and paying no attention to Michigan and the way we got robbed
January 5th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
Wins like what we could have had tonight are what get teams off the bubble and into lock status. Oh well, looks like it is another year of "Bubble Watch" for ol' Blue. And I hate the bubble.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
Indiana lost to MSU
January 5th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
I can't believe that. If Indiana had already knocked off two top 25 teams, the announcers would have mentioned it
January 5th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
January 5th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
We are NOT going to be on the bubble. We are going to be watching for a 4+ seed.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
Ehh, I'd say 5, 6, or 7 seed would be more accurate. I'd be pumped up like crazy with a 4 though...
January 5th, 2012 at 11:43 PM ^
I'm not saying that this loss will look bad on our resume. Far from it. I'm just saying that it would have been a great win that would have gone a long way from locking up a tourney bid. I just want to be one of those teams that gets to play out the last couple of weeks jockeying for seeding rather than trying to bolster the resume for a bid, and a win tonight would have been a big step in that direction. Oh well, it's over. Now it's time to focus on Beating the Badgers!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
Ohio lost by 4 to IU at home and now UM by 2. So... UM > Ohio? I think YES!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
I see no reason to be greatly dissappointed with the loss...
Your top scorer goes 0-7 from the 3, your pg plays probably the worst game of his career, and you come within a fg of beating a top 15 team on the road in a very hostile enviroment.
Go Blue!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
There is one thing that Michigan lacks and Indiana does not, and that is a big guy that can do work inside both offensively and defensively. Zeller destroyed us down low and we really couldn't do much about it. Next year with McGary we will finally have that guy. Watch out B1G!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:44 PM ^
Zeller is a helluva good freshman, but he didn't destroy us. Zeller had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 turnovers. Jordan Morgan had 12 points, 9 rebounds and zero turnovers.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
We really have to start pulling out a win during these close games against good teams, we always come up a few points short
but seriously where did THJ's three point shot go?
January 5th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
to get THJ off the bus in the first half. His lack of efficiency is killing us in big games. Come on THJ! You're so much better than these guys checking you on D!!!! Disregard my statement an hour ago about losing faith. I believe in you man!!!!!!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
Damn. Hell of an effort just to get back into this one, and damn near stole a victory from the Indiana Referees, I mean Hoosiers. Michigan has a ton of heart and just needs a little more seasoning and more consistency out of THJ.
P.S. Someone needs to tell Tom Crean to get a real haircut. I'm sure the 6th grade was great for ol' Tommy but it's time to get an adult haircut.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
showed a lot of promise. Burke and most of the team (except Hardaway) slowed down and ran the offese nicely. The defese wasn't too bad either. If we can play that way all game we can play with anybody.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Great effort, great game. They gutted it out and didn't wilt in that environment. Very encouraging for the remainder of the year
January 5th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
a lot more of a threat than people are giving us credit for. That 3 was huge but came at a moment where we needed it then but also when we needed it earlier. We couldn't shut down Wofford at all. Is it Wattford or Wofford? Anyways tough loss but so far we look like a good team and a legitimate contender. Just need to keep winning! Go Blue!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Watford
January 5th, 2012 at 11:27 PM ^
This game is a game where McGary would have made a huge difference, his relentless effort on the boards could have proved the difference. M missed 30 field goals today but came up with just 6 offensive rebounds, 4 of those from Burke
Michigan with Belien is going to be scary to deal with with the uptick in athleticism that is coming our way. Hardaway, Burke, McGary, Glen Robinson III, will all be players capable of making something out of nothing.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
to actually have a fighting chance at the end after it looked like they were about to blow the top off Assembly Hall. I would be surprised if IU loses at home this year.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
Nice effort. Need to get Timmy hittin his threes again, this is a rough slump.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
F all of this moral victory talk. This is Michigan. I'm pissed.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
No shame in this game. Indiana has already gone to the final four seven times this year and we came within 3 at their home hall.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Anyone else beyond frustrated with Stu? Guy doesn't play like a senior.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
He doesn't have the talent. He hit some big shots tonight but often after he did he took a stupid shot the next time down the floor.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
I'm so sickkkkk of close losses
January 5th, 2012 at 11:22 PM ^
Close losses are always tough, but they didn't quit and IU got some calls and made some ridiculous shots.
But that was the toughest venue they'll play in all year and one of the toughest teams they'll play plays there. Tough to get too upset about this one.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
Does anyone feel Novak could have gotten that ball up to about 6 ft from the three point line, well within his range? He shot with about 1.7 seconds left from halfcourt. Trey Burke did the same at the end of the first half. Maybe we need to work on our mental clocks in practice.
January 5th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
He had time for 2-3 more dribbles.
