Michigan - Illinois Open Thread
OSU-NW winding down in a tight game, they just showed the Michigan faithful in the arena.
Let's fucking Go Blue!
edit: looks like M-Wolverine and I made the same thread simultaneously
-OSU beats NW in overtime. Michigan-Illinois now scheduled for a 2:38 tip.
Melodrama much?
Worst case scenario, this team falls out of the NCAA and likely gets a 1 seed in the NIT, which is still far better then what the reasonable outcome for this team was.
Disappointing effort sure, but let's back away from the ledge.
Beilein get your group together at halftime....this shit is awful!
How is that not a reach-in foul on McCamey?
Dmo at the end
Wow...we are playing terrible. Smot has no clue, Hardaway's head is down, Morris is dribbling too much and no one can shoot. We should be down by 30.
Dumb dumb play by Darius. McCamey had no time to shoot anyway no need to foul. Luckily it didn't cost us any points.
You made it seem like he meant to foul... It was pretty obvious he didn't when he isn't even facing the person he fouled. He fell over trying to get the ball and they just got tangled up.
The real problem was the other 4 guys on the floor with Morris. None of them were moving and trying to create an opening and Morris was waiting for someone to at least set a screen, which didn't happen. Should've called a timeout but I don't think JB thought his team would just stand still...
34-23 half. We look like shit. Hopefully the coach of the year can make some adjustments. Still a whole half to play.
in our losing drought. Just terrible. I thought we had finally gotten over that thing where we decide to not show up whatsoever for 10 minute stretches.
That was a terrible last possession. One of the worst I've seen before a half in a while.
Live by the three die by the three. We won't have much of a chance in the second if the threes don't start falling.
I'm more concerned about what appears to be the team's complete disinterest in competing. Illinois outworking them everywhere.
I think that's a product of shots not falling.
Before people get too down: remember, we trailed this team by 10 at the half in Champaign.
And we lost that game.. feel much better, thanks! :)
So I take it Dan Dakich hates Michigan.
thats the worst half i have seen from M in months. perfect timing.
They need some tigerblood at halftime. They have looked flat out bad the 2nd half of the half...
i think that logo is so ugly idk who thought of that think but it looks like they were HIGH when they did it
It reminds me of a keleidoscope
everyone just looks like zombies. evan smo, what can i say single handedly resposible for about -10 points.
i just started watching a few minutes ago. can someone fill me in?
Illinois is bigger, shooting better, defending better and simply working harder.
They are tall and we are playing sloppy.
20-6 run, during which our shooting % collapsed from 55% to 36%
8 points in the last 13:45.
fire up the players and get them playing the right type of ball. No rotation on D. Lack of movement on offense. Also I don't know if anyone else sees this, their offense is very different from the last couple of games. looks like their trying to isolate dmo and timmy jr but its not working because the bigs are rotating to help. Someone needs to step up and get this team together.
We need to get some points in the paint, our offense is completely stale
edit: our defense also looks horrible. Lets turn it around in the 2nd half
After a strong start they just couldn't get anything to fall.....
we look like a true fresman team its bad we cant shoot we cant play defense its not good i hope they wake up at half and come out and play alot harder. another note i just switched from a loger to natty light this isnt good !
Give some credit to illinois. Big man stepped out twice and hit three's, solid defense and using their size. Second half to play but Illinois played a great half.
Is there a website to watch the game online?

Not so bad
Just got back from my T-45 ride (it's a jet, WINNING) and noticed this score. Seriously?! This is awful. Also I hate the Big Ten logo sooo much
F22 or GTFO
/s
douglass needs less minutes. He stagnates the offense without an ability to drive and score. I know he is tasked with guarding mccamey, but we need to roll the dice on this, maybe go to the zone in the second half. Secondly, the offense needs to be ran through Hardaway. Last but not least stop panicking. The game is far from over. Illinois' shooting will come back to earth.
Hey guys: Two divisions, 1 conference. Leaders and Legends coming this fall.
Ugh terrible commercial.
Also, Moxie
Illinois can't miss a shot and we can't make one.. not our day. I had a feeling I wouldn't wake up too confident on Sunday. Come on, boys..
Novak making it rain
Not to mention getting hit in the face.
Novak may as well carry a trident. He's a norse god.
I can think of a greek god who carries a trident, but not a norse one. Your mythology may be better than mine though.
Now is the time to make a run here. Got a good feeling
the B1G ten commercial is so hart warming i want to cry every time i see it it just shows that we are all 1! hahahaha bullshit !
When you have a clear path to the basket, take it.
