U-M B-ball vs Syracuse Open Thread

IRVIN!

Chatman and Donnal have been major disappointments. Conversely, Doyle has been very solid.

Chatman's head seems way more in this game.  He's getting it.

Crisler is rocking

Really like Chatman's play tonight. Best he's looked.

What is our offense?  Just pass it around the perimeter until the shot clock expires?

I hate Xmas!

Man style rebound from Christmas, wow that was impressive.

Very questionable foul call.

What is up with these stupid fouls? Donnal is a foul machine. 

holy shit. these foul calls

Teddy Valentine pulling his usual shit.

Transition defense resulting in too many fouls.

TV Teddy V strikes again!

Mom just told me Xmas has his degree already and is working on his masters, fwiw.  Mom is a big Syracuse fan :(

I thought his arms were up. Maybe he got him with body. lol

Irvin needs to follow his shot. When he misses, it usually ricochets hard.

That was a horse shit call.

Shooting is not going to get it done

love JB and all, but this is a no brainer. 

Chatman is a frosh. You don't want a frosh decision making in the center of a Syracuse zone!

Caris needs to be the decision maker in the middle of that zone!!!

Walton looks off, unsurprisingly.

What is this horse shit reffing?

At some point we are bound to hit our open shots against a good team right? I can't tell if we have just had bad luck this year or if all of our returning players have cooled off. Most of these shots are good looks.

Yo is this fucking ref like a MSU or OSU alum or something? Or is it just cuz we're playing Cuse that they even have home court advantage away from home?

Let's hit some shots, fellas!

Irvin has made the Nik S FR to SO leap ladies and gents.  Not just a shooter...

Don't we usually have more movement on the baseline when we face a zone?

Why the F cant we get the 3rd foul on Xmas?  Its been 11 minutes he has had 2.

Is Walton done for the night?

This game is so back and forth and Syracuse pisses me off. Lol I do not like Christmas.

Holy cow ... this is so bad... ugh I hope Horford is having the time of his life at Florida. 

Nice Caris.

But Mike T is right - UM just settles for outside jumpers if its not transition.  Irvin with a few drives but its all perimeter.

OOooOOOOooOo

Ummm.. funny bone injury only to Zak.  Pls.

should be a foul on the irvin dunk

That's twice now he has fallen down after a dunk tonight.
