December 20th, 2014 at 12:47 PM ^
That's a horrible haircut brah.
December 20th, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
I think the word is "aggressive".

Shout out to the defense out there right now
December 20th, 2014 at 12:55 PM ^
I agree with Greenberg we do have to start getting a few more easier buckets than we have so far this game

Offense is a major concern though. I'm just thinking they all need more time, none wil leave to the NBA early, and we'll be a damned good team next year.
Confidence in their shots and defensive intensity will be the diference between winning and losing big10games this year.
December 20th, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
in the half. But this team is still shooting a lot of atroucious shots because it's rushing everything. You've got to force the defense to collapse in order to shoot the three or you will get nothing but contested shots. Force the defense to react and not anticipate, and you will score.
Michigan is disrupting the passing lanes. I ilke the idea of switching up from man. Beilein ought to do more of that. They are getting beat off of offensive rebounds. That is the difference in this game.
December 20th, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
Shots not falling.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:02 PM ^
Mila Kunis kills that commercial.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:04 PM ^
Recruit Michael Miller. He can shoot.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
Alright blue. Let's do this.

Blech - this is as bad a start as you can ask for. Gotta get this thing turned around

Yup. I'm becoming concerned about this team. On the other hand, JBs teams always seem to get better as the season goes on.

I thought things were good after Syracuse. Gotta stop the bleeding before opening up B1G play.

same old shit
December 20th, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
reminds me of the 91-92 teams. coming off a nat'l title and elite 8 run, the team lost a lot of talent to graduation. then struggled a couple years until the fab 5 arrived. unfortuneately, we don't have any fab 5 caliber players on the horizon.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
I think you mean 94-95

I think you are off
December 20th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
The 91-92 team was the first year of the Fab Five. The 89-90 team got torched by Loyola in the second round, and it was the worst defeat suffered by a defending national champion. The only team during the 80s and 90s that reached the elite 8 was the 93-94 team, with all but Webber back.
Feel free to look it up.

Ya, he is thinking of the 90-91 team lead by Demetris Calip, Mike Tally, amd Eric Riley
December 20th, 2014 at 1:14 PM ^
Realistically, a .500 B1G season sounds like the most likely scenario. If you split the league into 4 tiers, we're probably in the 3rd tier.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
I'd take .500 in the league at this point. No way they'll be .500 playing like this.

Team looks distracted. Probably not getting enough sleep looking for Harbaugh updates.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
horrible start to the second half and the game is slipping away

What the f has happened to us. Solid showing against Nova, fought off a pesky Cuse and then we turn to suck? What the hell?

Every basketball embarassment ratches up the Harbaugh desperation beyond its already dangerously unhealthy level.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
I said it before and got negged--LeVert is not impressive this year. There was so much hype for him to make the leap and lead this team. He just doesn't command the game the way that Burke and Stauskus did.

have all regressed. None of them can shoot or handle the ball with consistency. I am shocked by how poor this team plays. I really was expecting much more this year.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
Come on. We lost great players from last year's team. We should have expected a down year.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
Are you dumb? Burke or Stauskas wouldn't fix this.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:25 PM ^
He didn't mention Burke or Stauskas so I'm not sure where that hostility came from.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:26 PM ^
"He just doesn't command the game the way that Burke and Stauskus did"
Yeah, cause this team has NBA players at every position and upperclassmen
December 20th, 2014 at 1:28 PM ^
I literally don't see that on the mobile app, so maybe it was someone who was just banned.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:32 PM ^
Found what it was, you replied to the wrong person which is why I was confused.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:34 PM ^
I expected tangible improvement from Irvin, Walton, and LeVert. I did not say I expected 2013. Looks like you're the dumb ass who can't read.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
unless this team can win at least 12 games in the BIG (incl tourny). i don't see it happening.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
Just remember 2011-12. Anything can happen. Too soon to write this team off.

This is least athletic team we've has in several years. We have only one above average athlete on the team in Irvin and he's not much above average.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
Caris Lavert disagrees

what a joke
December 20th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
Not just all things, but everything.
There's no way that they can possibly announce Harbaugh until Jan 1, because we can't have anything good in 2014. I'm fearful that by posting meetings on Dec 22 and Dec 28 it guarantees us disappointment.
Hey look... another missed shot. There's probably a good episode of Dora the Explorer to watch.
December 20th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
I came here to say something negative, but it's all been overdone before. This team shouldn't be that bad when it's all said and done. I think an NCAA tourney bid is still likely and this team needs a season changing moment like a comeback win today. Go Blue!
December 20th, 2014 at 1:24 PM ^
Whoa a run. That's cool
December 20th, 2014 at 1:24 PM ^
Cmon blue. Keep the run going.
