I’m telling you not to…

I’m telling you not to insult s kid and you think that’s being a keyboard gangsta? And you argue it? That’s pathetic. I’m not acting tough at all. I’m just saying it’s obvious you are being a crap person. But you do you. Talk about what you don’t know about. Insult kids because they don’t do exactly what suits you. Just know, every person thinks that’s pathetic 

reading these takes of from…

reading these takes of from just a sentence, rather than reading more about it really illustrates why people should not speak of things they don’t know about. 
 

Ohio State had won 15/16 any logical person would think Ohio State was going to win. So what. That means he doesn’t like Michigan? He’s traveled here repeatedly on his own money. His dad loves Michigan so he’s always rooted for them. So he knows more than most. He needed to see Michigan compete to consider Michigan. Because he wants to play for titles. If he doesn’t choose Michigan that’s his choice. But to suggest he’s putting off a decision just to avoid telling his friend shows a complete lack of information on the situation. He has already chosen another team before. When he committed to USC, he told his friend then. But he’s scared now? It makes no sense.

 

don’t talk bad about kids when you don’t know what the hell you are talking about.

Have a friend who was just looking in Malibu, he said you can’t find anything decent under 13 million. So he’s back in Bel Aire for now.

My buddy is a season ticket…

My buddy is a season ticket holder, I usually go to games with him. He was fed up with Harbaugh and sure you couldn’t beat tOSU with Cade or HH. 
 

I always argued from positivity. But I have admit, and take my portion of crow, I wasn’t sure if a game manager would be enough. Glad to have the crow

I’d say there defense isn’t…

I’d say there defense is opportunistic more than being so good. Don’t turn the ball over and we win.

What I just read says in NFL…

What I just read says in NFL it is a 1st down. In college it is a 1st down if it covers the distance to be a first down. And in HS it’s not a 1st down

I always expected it but it’s great to have confirmation. Our offense is going to need to carry the defense for a while. They’ll sort things out though

Not really because we had significantly shorter distances to gain. Which means we won 1st and 2nd down.

 

of course converting first downs is important 

Frank. That is because the

Frank. That is because the rule changes have eliminated the big man. A 7ft man that can move quick enough to defend the hoop with a defensive 3 second rule is rare. You want to know why true centers are disappearing? LBJ would struggle if they took away the defensive 3 second rule so it is here as long as LBJ is the biggest star.

Take away the defensive 3 second rule and true centers return to dominance. But fans don't want a diverse game sadly. Fans want 3s being jacked and highlight dunks. So we will have more and more teams with no variety.

All this money being spent

All this money being spent and they are falling behind. Kentucky has bad ass dorms for their athletes, Kansas is building bad ass housing for athletes. More will do the same and we're booked for years without. Facilities are nice but showing a potential athlete they can live better trumps facilities. Somewhere along the line this all needs to stop. The student athletes are quickly losing the student experience.

I knew Nebraska had not had

Double post

I knew Nebraska had not had

I knew Nebraska had not had much success in basketball but I had no idea they had never won an NCAA tourney game. Interesting article.

If anyone was still curious

If anyone was still curious it was the discovery of the first direct evidence of cosmic inflation. Proof of the big bang.

Wisconsin is now locked into

Wisconsin is now locked into the 2.

I'm curious how the bracket is aligned. I know we play the winner of the 8/9 which I believe is Indiana/Illinois(don't quote me on teams) but how does the rest of the bracket set up? I'd assume we'd play the 4 in the 3rd round(our 2nd game)

A rich person makes fun of a poor person, in that moment who looks worse?

But perhaps I'm being too generous to those making fun of Carlos

Honestly Izzo may be done. He

Honestly Izzo may be done. He sounds like a wimp that got dumped. I've never seen worse leadership. Excuse, whine, excuse, wine, excuse, whine. If a coach isn't going to be a man how can you expect the players? I don't like Staee but I genuinely hate what a horrible human being Izzo is when things don't go his way. It's utterly pathetic.

I really don't understand

I really don't understand this site. Apparently there was a gameday thread but I couldn't see it. So I start one, now I can't seee that thread. But State lost, a win today and we are B1G Champions!!!

If you have any questions why

If you have any questions why the East is dog doo compared to the West just look at the reserves for each team. The West is loaded with near MVP quality players and the East has, umm, not near MVP players.

The league has to find a way to fix the dumpster fire that is theEastern Conference.

It seems to be commonly

It seems to be commonly accepted Coach Bs teams can't play D. It's possible but, even with all his years of coaching, I'd say the jury is still out. When judging this you have to consider that almost all his career he has coached up inferior talent. Athleticism is a very big part of defense, not all obviously, but a big part. Coach has only recently had top quality talent and we seem to ignore howw crazy young that talent has been. Senior Morgan is a hell of a defender considering his physical attributes, Junior Horford is a hell of a defender considering his physical attributes. The rest of the team is freshman and sophomores.
-----
We've already seen Walton improve, Levert, Stauskas, GRIII, McGary. I'd say judging by what we've seen it's safe to assume if everyone were to stay we're a good defensive team next year. If only Stauskas goes pro we're a good defensive team next year. It's no coincidence that's when our most talented class hits 3rd year in the program.

There's starting to be some

There's starting to be some buzz Michigan has a shot with him. It was originally thought it would be just the bluebloods competing for him. Coach B just has to keep developing the talent we have and we'll get a look.

I came into the day not

I came into the day not terribly excited but I've been running through the signees in my head over and over and that's changed.

1 5*
8 4*s
And I really like what the lower rated recruits bring. I think Moe Ways is going to shock and awe. The level of improvement from junior to senior year breeds confidence.

I'm glad we didn't make any signing day reaches. We need a big year on the field next season and an attention grabbing class. I think we're capable of both.

I stand corrected. I hadn't

I stand corrected. I hadn't watched a Brunson video in a good spell and I thought I remembered him looking a true 6'. But upon your input I went and watched some videos and he doesn't look 6' to me either. My apologies for the misinformation. Hopefully these kids have a couple inches of growth left. Or at least hopefully if one chooses Michigan he has a couple inches of growth left haha

I hate Duke but that

I hate Duke but that officiating was a travesty. Duke is winning so Jefferson gets his 4th on a bad call, Duke is still winning Parker gets his 4th. Duke falls down by 7 with no bigs so they bring Jefferson back and start climbing back in it, they bring Parker back and tie it up. Parker scores to take the lead, nope BS flop call. Then they get Jefferson out on another flop. Duke magically sends it to overtime and Hood who also had 4 fouls in regulation BTW drives to take the lead and gets hit on the arm making him miss the game winning dunk. Does he get the call, no! I should add Dawkins fouled out as well and no Cuse player was ever near foul trouble. I don't get why refs favor home teams so badly. Are they worried about being booed? They're professionals, the crowd and venue should be the only advantage of home court advantage.

This kid would be a nightmare

This kid would be a nightmare at Sparty with how they constantly push. Let's hope he wants a little freedom in his offense because nobody runs more sets than State.

It seems like we've made a nice push with Brunson and Illinois burned that bridge so we have a shot. The blue bloods like Kansas are getting involved though. I'd rather have Brunson because of size and he's a year ahead but if we don't get Brunson I'd be really happy with Cassius.(although as often is the case I have serious doubt about his listed height)

I think this State loss hurts

I think this State loss hurts the B1G bad. State is supposed to be one of our top teams. Losing to a dumpster fire like Georgetown right as the media starts to run with a B1G is overrated theme is really bad timing.

That's nuts, I read that and

That's nuts, I read that and I had to look it up myself for confirmation. If he or she had said Thad Matta was 60 I wouldn't have had a 2nd thought about it.

Tonight- 22 points on 8/9

Tonight- 22 points on 8/9 shooting and 6 assists. I should mention it's only halftime. He only has 9 shots because they're running the double at him. When does a team break out the box + 1?

I love Coach B. Everything he

I love Coach B. Everything he does seems right. LeVert is loose with the ball but they keep using him because we need a secondary creator. Work the kinks out before the intensity ramps up. Love it..

Also love how he used this game to work on a few other defenses. It's no wonder his teams get better and better as the season progresses. We have our base and little by little we work on other facets. I can only imagine what he would do with a talented senior laden team. Doubt we'll see that because the players are too good to stay that long but it's nice to imagine.

Again, big MJ fan so I'm not

Again, big MJ fan so I'm not trying to have a dig. But while in PPG yes Mike has had great runs and seasons. But to score over 31 a game while doing it at the 2nd greatest PPFGA ever behind only Adrian Dantly is phenomenal. 1.58 points per shot and rising every game. It's crazy.

I tried to find it for you

I tried to find it for you but the NBA has so many crazy advanced stats now I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was reading.

I had heard that on some sports show and I was surprised to hear he was playing such good D. I don't remember if they said 3rd in defensive PER or a plus minus shooting percentage defense or what but I think it was PER. I remember specifically they said he ranked 3rd behind George and Leonard.

It's all good, you were

It's all good, you were right. I've only ever started like 3 threads so I didn't really think it all through. I just wanted a subject to push through until the Iowa/State game. If I had a real direction I probably would have elaborated.

Is someone going to start a

Is someone going to start a thread for Iowa/State? Big game

Big MJ then Kobe fan here so

Big MJ then Kobe fan here so you'll get no arguments from me. But I will point out what Kevin is doing is more than points. His efficiency is currently 2nd all time to Adrian Dantly. And he grades out to be the 3rd rated defender at his position behing only Paul George and Kawai Leonard. It's quite a feat all things considered

You're right, I'll add "is

You're right, I'll add "is ballin" but it's too late the thread should really just be taken down because we both know it's all about the title now

Check any NBA message

Check any NBA message board.

I don't post on any so I thought I'd throw it out here.

I don't get why many people can't enjoy both. They're both great.

Sorry about the format, I

Sorry about the format, I spaced it out but my phone didn't seem to put it through that way.

That it's important to beat a

That it's important to beat a team at full strength. Nobody will care in 3 years.

Not about a specific team but it needed to be said.

If we win today we will have

If we win today we will have beaten 3 of the 4 top 5 B1G teams other than Michigan on the road already. The other top 5 B1G team, Iowa, we beat at home. We are set up to run away with the title if we win. Things never go so smoothly so I assume we lay an egg today. Unfortunately State 73-61

Harris was tweeting about

Harris was tweeting about Stauskas last night. People need to chill. The kid hates the process and the spotlight. Silence means nothing because he doesn't like talking to reporters. If he decides to decommit we'll hear.

It's quite simply not a

It's quite simply not a "fact". Polls matter to recruits. If we're top 5 every week of every year we have a shot with every kid in the country. We're not so we don't. Polls matter.

I get your point that the RPI determines your tourney situation. But there is more going on than that. You don't just recruit in March.

Why is there such a need in

Why is there such a need in sports talk to make things fit into the frame fans want?

For example. Ohio hires Larry Johnson and Michigan fans are like meh, good hire. That's completely phony, if Michigan had hire LJ Michigans fanbase would be doing back flips.

Here it's rankings don't matter, that's BS to fit the fact we aren't ranked. We need to get ranked and we need to overachieve this year for perception of the program. We are not a power, to become a power we have to perform like one.

Stop making everything fit your views and be honest.

While I'm no fan of Indiana

While I'm no fan of Indiana or their coach in particular I'm glad he went to a B1G school. A strong B1G is good for Michigan. And when you look at our depth chart it's easy to understand kids looking elsewhere. Best of luck to both.

We are in great position with great players in the next class, let's have an awesome season and keep building until schools fear us as a blueblood.

Reports are Michigan hasn't

Reports are Michigan hasn't had much contact lately. Possibly because he seems to love the spread pass offenses like Oklahoma State in particular. I've heard him rave about their offense too many times to even have hope for this kid. Looks like a damn good playeer too so it's a shame.

For those that like Whites film, check out Kearns film. Similar and more importantly we have a much better shot with Kearns
