Wisconsin BBall Postgame Thoughts
Will Beilein ever put a man on the inbound? Forget fouling, that end was exactly like Evan Turner's shot against us
Brian's take on the Refs, and the game
There is no justice. There is only Bo Ryan ruining basketball.

if it takes dogshit like that to beat us, then im actually not too angry. you know, cuz that half court shot isnt goin in again.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Under Johnny B. Sick of watching that happen when common sense doesn't come to the forefront.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
As bad as we played, it wasn't that shot that killed us. It was the missed layups and the not fouling at the end of regulation. So frustrating, we have the talent to dominate that Wisconsin team.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
and our "talent" didn't do fuckin shit from what i saw
February 9th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
It looks to me like we're headed to 5th place in the Big 10 standings after Tuesday. We have no defense, no inside presence, and our freshman are quickly becoming useless. Stauskus 1-5 for 3? GRIII 4 points total?
I hate to say this but I don't think this team can even make it to the Sweet Sixteen. Our backcourt is good but not good enough to compensate for the rest of our shitty ass offense.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^
But hard to believe that this has happened to us twice (see Evan Turner) in the last few years. Bad luck spoiling my Saturday afternoon.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Refs will be 10 times more frustrating in East Lansing.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:09 PM ^
Eddie Basketball or TV Ted?
Does it even matter?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
Both with DIckie V or Dan Dakich as the third.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Awful game by the good guys.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Fuck the free world.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Jacking up 3s when your up towrds the end of regulation. 2 points in overtime.
Our O really stalls when its within one possesion at the end of regulation. We've got to get into the paint.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Im pissed they didn't foul on the last play of regulation.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Belein needs to figure out how to get him involved.
Making layups would be nice also.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
So annoyed, they had that game in the bag and we have a ridiculous brain fart and give up ANOTHER Evan Turner.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
We been burned enough times by the three near end of games, I rather see the other team shoot a 1 and 1 or two free throws.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Total lack of execution.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
FUCK GOD DAMMIT SHIT MOTHER BITCH FUCK
February 9th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
So we get to keep GRIII til his senior year at least. Ugh.
Seriously what happened to this kid in the past two weeks. He has turned into a ghost.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
My thoughts are similar but with more fucks.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Move on, crazy shit happened. Beat Sparty.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Big ten officiating is terrible.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
All 3 games that we have lost. The only exception could be Indiana, but my gosh when are we going to quit making mental mistakes.
This game was on the coaches as much as it was on the players.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Choke job
February 9th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
before inbounds play with 2.4 seconds left and Levert doesn't foul. That's not on the coach. Putting Levert back in the game to have the game winning 3 put in his face is definitely on the Coach. I thought Levert was suppose to be a "stopper"?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
Agreed, Levert's line:
8 min, 0-3 shooting, allowed 2 big 3's
I can see what Brian/Ace says about this kid being really good in the future, but he's still a half step behind the college game.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
When you live in a binomial world of only 0 (miss) or 1 (make), the outcome does not dictate true difficulty. That is why I like the UFR so much, as if Brian did one for the final play in Regulation, Levert would of been in the plus with Beilien getting a -1.
Levert was in great position with a hand right in Burst face when he shot the ball. Unfortunately there wasn't much more Levert could do as Burst caught the ball in perfect stride heading slightly towards the basket. The real error here was not putting someone on the inbounder to make it difficult to make that perfect pass.
And to all those saying "Levert should of foul", he never really had an opportunity to without taking off under a second of game time as Burst went into his shooting motion very quicky. He started it with about 1.6 second left in the game.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
ever. Wisky gives you a gift by not fouling, then we respond in kind. Inexcusable.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Give Wisconsin credit for making lucky shots, but that was some of the most horseshit refereeing I've ever seen. It's not like Michigan wasn't driving to the basket. Everytime a guy would go up you'd see an arm get raked or a guy totally knocking Burke over and it was "play on." What complete bullshit.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
It was a ridiculously lucky shot, but there were 1,000 things we could have done to prevent it from happening. Instead, we just unthinkingly did nothing.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
the refs. Horrible possession calls. Unbelievable.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
Not the missed layups or the half court shot? Refs made bad calls for them too and we played not to win in ot. We should have been rinse-repeating hardaway's layup, instead we were lacking up contested threes with little or no movement. We lost....team should own it and move on....fans can blame it on the refs, but refs are rarely the single reason we lose.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Our half-court buzzer-beater defense needs work.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
I say Beilein dedicates a half hour of every practice to this.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
anyone else sick of "losses that will help us in March"?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Belein=outcoached in this game. Trey needs to facilitate more and stop taking so many shots. Stauskas wasn't shooting well in this one but he only took 7 shots. Get him the ball more and also see if GR3 can do something with it.
February 9th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
A shorthanded Michigan team (no Morgan) came within a halfcourt prayer of winning in the Kohl Center . . . was Beilein really outcoached?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
OP is dead on. Have a man guard the in bounds guy at the end. Don't allow the easy pass. I want Harbaugh!!!!!
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Jordan Morgan for team MVP
for serious. Most underappreciated guy on the roster.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Everyone in Wisconsin can suck a bag of dicks. That's what I think.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
I live in Wisconsin. Can we limit the dick sucking to Badger fans?
February 9th, 2013 at 3:14 PM ^
I suppose it can be voluntary for non-Badger fans.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
Or each dick individually?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Well that sucked.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Hit layups. Listen to your coach and foul. We allowed the impossible comeback to happen.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Fuck everything. /overreaction
We could be amazing. We don't execute well enough. The Big Ten is tough. We are probably going to lose to MSU.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
Two of them that I remember. Why exactly did we choose to play at their pace?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
...that teams carry with them for a month or so.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
It feels like someone just hit me in the face with a 20 lb shovel.
February 9th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
What a cruel way to lose the game. In the end, I just don't think Michigan deserves to win, starting with that 3 points from Wisconsin in the last 2.4 seconds.
That's REALLY REALLY REALLY bad coaching (sorry, I don't like blaming people when Michigan lost, but that's on John Beilein).
EDIT: Ok, I take it back. It could be that Levert failed to foul. Sorry if that's the case.
