Trying to get out of the 1940s 2nd half thread
After setting basketball back to the set shot era, let’s try to move into at least the 1970s.

Why is there a net on the peach baskets?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^
push the ball up the court... and have livers and iggy take it to the hole
March 28th, 2019 at 11:34 PM ^
Why?
This is the second game in a where Iggy has done jack fucking squat.
March 29th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Tech has great transition defense. There were almost no opportunities to push it. Plus, we are kinda below average at transition offense
...and Poole.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:02 PM ^
Yeah this game is over
March 28th, 2019 at 11:03 PM ^
Everything I said in the threads leading up to this game was true. Play an average to slightly above average game and we will win with some margin.
To lose, would require a below average or worse game. This team is proving that.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
Not much margin for error in your prediction.

This game has been like watching Alabama and LSU slug it out in football with 3 fgs each and no TDs.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Exactly
March 28th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Did you even watch the Wisconsin game? It was tied at the 4 minute break.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:04 PM ^
They hit the same amount of 3’s in the 40’s.....
March 28th, 2019 at 11:06 PM ^
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE A BASKET WHEN SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO STOP YOU?
REAL FUCKING HARD THAT'S HOW HARD IT IS
March 28th, 2019 at 11:06 PM ^
TT isn’t doing anything that special. We are killing oursekeves. No patience early. Worst half of Simpson’s career in 2 years. Iggy very similar. There are MULTIPLE areas to attack TT. We haven’t done it. And we haven’t made shots.
We should be winning this game and we aren’t. Not good. Who are the two guys that will carry us this half? One will not be enough?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:08 PM ^
If northern kentucky can score 47 on them, i feel like we can get at least that number.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:08 PM ^
This team is so so so soft on the ball. Has been all year.
Need to get tougher, stronger, focused to win this game.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:10 PM ^
For a team that emphasizes defense, we seem surprisingly shocked when somebody does it to us.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:09 PM ^
Hopefully somebody hits a 3 early and it relaxes the team and sets the team on fire.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:09 PM ^
Two straight years of being confounded by switching defenses.
They need to push the ball on every missed TT shot so they can't set up their defense. Maybe they're trying and I am too illiterate and sleepy to understand right now.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:10 PM ^
I will not run jump or climb.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:11 PM ^
It’s going to take us most of the 2nd half just to get to 30 points. No way we win this game. No one has any confidence in there shot. Texas Tech is not that great. Which makes that half a complete embarrassment.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
I think it will be ok. Certainly there will be some adjustment at half to generate some points. I felt good taking the under for this game but never saw this coming. It can’t last, the points WILL come. I can’t believe what I just watched, it will get better.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:12 PM ^
I’m not saying take Teske out, but it looks like their gameplan was to go to Teske and while he’s getting the ball, he’s been a liability.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:12 PM ^
Fucking pathetic.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
New thread isn’t working.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:15 PM ^
False we have 2 points in less than 2 minutes. That’s 125% of the 1st half output.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:14 PM ^
Jesus Christ.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:14 PM ^
Looks like Jim Harbaugh is coaching offense this year for the basketball team.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
Simpson and Matthews have been absolutely horrible.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
That dunk just ended this game
March 28th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
It's over.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:17 PM ^
This team is a fucking embarrassment. Game over.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:17 PM ^
This is embarrassing
March 28th, 2019 at 11:17 PM ^
Matthews is an offensive embarrassment
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
Not ready for the pros. He's just not.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:17 PM ^
Can somebody start a second half of the second half thread?
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
Cold stretches are one thing but this...
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
Ballgame. Goodnight everyone
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
Not with a bang, but with a whimper
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
Welp, had a good year. Good night everyone
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
I would single out a player to complain about, but they all deserve it. Show some pride
March 28th, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
Would have been nice to lose by 40 to Gonzaga. Losing by 40 to a middling TT team not so much.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
This one is over....decent season fellas
March 28th, 2019 at 11:22 PM ^
Sweet Sixteen seemed like the ceiling for this team. Looks like it was.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
This team failed at every critical/banner clinching moment this year. Just move on to next year. Maybe Beilein will learn how to coach offense again. Maybe Z will learn how to fucking shoot. Maybe Teske will realize he's 7 ft tall.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
I have had this same thought a few times this year. Maybe the focus on defense has gone overboard.
Also, although I love the courage in his game, I think Michigan has a ceiling below conference championship/Final Four level when Zavier Simpson is one of the 2-3 best players on the team. It worked last year with Wagner, MAAR, a dead-eye shooter in Robinson. With less talent on the offense this year, Michigan cannot compete with elite teams.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
Teams must drool watching film of Matthews dribble. Dude is a walking turnover.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
Joy. Another National Fucking disaster.
March 28th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
if we shut TT out the rest of the game, do we win?
