Rutgers game thread
Cheddar missed his only scoring opportunities for the game.
"What would you say you do here?"
Cheddar is a leader. First foul, first miss, first TO.
I've watch around 70% of games this year, and I have still yet to see cheddar score a single point.
At least he gives great effort, unlike our second leading scorer, please stay in the draft Jett
Ugly game.
That we're winning.
So, lovely game.
At this point I think Tschetter is just in there to give fouls so that Reed is around for late game minutes
Defense looks great so far, minus a couple of rebounding lapses from Bufkin
Let's go! Good start 9-2 !
Also anyone else find it hilarious slow and unathletic Tschetter does the jump balls over HD! 🤣 that tells you everything!
For those of you who might be at work, score is 9-2 Michigan at 16 minutes and change in 1st quarter.
Good start.
Even at 9–2, I've got BPONE.
BASKETBALL Pit of Negative Expectations
Jump ball was next-level chess. Good movement so far with a goal to get Hunter involved. Boxing out the only issue so far.
Not a good start for cheddar, brick 3 well off, ball through the hands on a should be layup, missing box out. Everyone else looking good so far
great start! Cant get out hustled on those rebounds. Have to do better boxing out.. let's goo
Tschetter, a foul, missed shot, turnover so far. He must be blackmailing Juwan at this point.
I think this is proof for all the ppl who said it couldn’t get worse than T-Will…it has!
I remember on my elementary school BB team being taught to find a body and box out for rebounding. This team, not so much...
Couldn’t ask for a better start for the first 5 minutes of the game. Hunter is establishing himself down low and Jett hit his jumper
Heckuva start - love the energy on defense. This team does not usually start so fast!
Grab a sammich and play College Football Risk as you watch B1G Tourney action. Head over to CFB Risk and attack any of the OSU (gray) territories. I recommend a nice vacation in warmer climes particularly, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii or South Beach.
If you want a specific attack/defend order aligned with Michigan’s current battle plan go to Michigan Risk Central Command.
Beat Rutger! F*^% Ohio!
What the hell happened to big bad TA&M?
Longhorns.
Jett should be on Mulchahy and Bufkin on Simpson.
Bufkin's looking good.
Nice start but gotta keep hitting shots.
Please take Will out of the game, it's insane. He's unplayable.
That foul on Tschetter means we probably will not see him the rest of the half
Good?
Actually, great
Cheddar just can’t do anything out there. And it’s not like he isn’t getting opportunities. Wide open 3s, cuts to the basket, offensive rebound 3 feet from the basket.
13-7 Michigan at 12:00 minutes.
Michigan should be able to dominate this line up Rutgers has out there.
Stop fucking around and pound these guys inside.
If we were hot from 3, this game would essentially be over
Baker surprisingly effective on the boards today! Tschetter looking simply terrible.
I looked at the rebounding stats about a week ago. Baker was at 5.6 per 40 minutes, Jett was only 3.6.
The ship started sinking when Jett returned from injury.
not playing great but rutger is playing worse so … yay?
I’m a little nervous because Rutgers has been garbage and Michigan is only up 6. Hunter and Kobe have been good. Still no one who can hit a 3. Tschetter hustles but is just woof. Baker saving a couple of possessions is good to see!
We haven’t even played 10 minutes…if this continues it should be an easy victory.
When Jett takes good in-rhythm 3’s he’s pretty good, when he’s fading, stepping back or off the dribble he throws up clunkers.
That block was clean.
What a fucking dogshit call
THE BLOCK WAS CLEAN!
Shades of Peyton Siva
Juwan going to the bench early.. How you feel about it? Joey Baker giving great effort so far!
Officials not letting Michigan guards get clean blocks since 2013.
13-11 Michigan at 9.34.
Man, refs have gotten worse over the past decade. That's the kind of call that really would have stood out as bad over a season, now it just blends in with the rest.
bufkin needs to step it up.
Ah here we go. Bad shots, turnovers, giving up a bunch of offensive rebounds. Seen this script before.
Our bench is absolutely terrible.
