I would plus a million to you if I could. I couldn't find it so I just started checking updates on the internet. How on earth did you find it on channel 557?!?!? At least I get to watch the 2nd half now.

Is it me or does Vogrich give up on shots way too early. There's been a couple offensive rebounds to his area when he's already vacated to the defensive side. I guess I can't blame him for getting on defense, especially with the 4 or 5 easy passes to a wide open guy we've already given up.

So I thought Cronin had a great defensive stretch when he was on the court that last shift. He was playing really physical with the inside guy for Utah. Looked really good in the post. He wasn't very quick getting down the floor, but once he was there, he had some solid coverage.

Honest question: When was the last time Michigan was a good rebounding team? I'm thinking, and I can't come up with any team in the last 10 years that wasn't weak on the boards. This team could do so much in the transition game if they could only pull down a few boards here and there. Or capitalize on shooting badly from the perimeter by putting in some easy buckets inside off the rebound.

This is just painful...horrible defense and defensive rebounding, missed layups, missed free throws. Looks like a 6-loss non-conference season at best at this point.

I think Stu is the third best player on this team. His assist to turnover ratio is excellent, he's the most competant ball handler at the point, and his defense is pretty solid. I can't explain the whole issue of the shooting specialist not being able to hit the broad side of a barn, but I think he is far from awful.

we started the half out playing good defense; and that kind of foiled away... started shooting the ball well too and then hit a spell - - anyone else feel like the offense was out of sync in the last 10-12 minutes of the half... gametracker shows 10 offensive boards for utah, 11 second chance points, and 6 fast break points in the first half. and we are being outrebounded 22-9...

thats a terrible blocking foul call on gibson - he was well outside of the circle - so at least a charge drawn, but then to give him nba continuation is even more crap
