Not sure how it's going to work with no App, but online watchers, great wifi speed people might be on. Let's go for 4!

THJ needs to take better percentage shots.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
Is it just me or does there seem to be some jackass dressed as Gumby at almost every college basketball game?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
gotta change the defense
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
Nix waddles when he runs. No wonder he can only play 25 mins a game (and still go 6 for 8 against us)
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
attempting his manny harris fadeaway three, again to no avail.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
Did the camera swivel break when it should go left? This angle they insist on when Michigan is on offense is turrible
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
This is horrible
February 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
defense is optional?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
If we lose I want these guys to show that they really wanted this game and leave everything on the floor, if they do that, i can sleep well tonight
February 5th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
If you're going to bomb threes and half ass on defense just sit on the bench. At least act like you're trying.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
Burke has to go off now...
February 5th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
This is sloppier than we've played in awhile.Need to force turnovers not commit them
February 5th, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
State has 10 points off turnovers, we have 11 total.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
Wow, they actually called a handcheck?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
This is ridiculous! UM always puts itself in a hole b/c we can't hit those. I'm so sick of this.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
Absolutely pathetic effort today.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^

When Morgan tries to dribble in traffic, bad things happen.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:41 PM ^
You guys are good at it.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
Shot selection has been about as bad as you can see in a half. Tighten up and get this to 6 or less by half.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
Sparty trying to continuously throw oops is really helping us
February 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
I think this team is better than last years, but our Morris led team showed heart and determination for 40 minutes each game, this team doesn't show me that
February 5th, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
Just not good at anything today.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
2 huge shots right there. We needed that.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:44 PM ^
they are obviously keying on him. i wish they would try a two-man high-screen game with thj and novak
February 5th, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
I would think the defenders would just switch off, so you wouldn't be able to free Novak for the 3. I'm also not confident enough in THJ's ball handling to let him dribble around that much. You also can't do a pick-and-roll with anyone but Morgan, because if Morgan is on the floor his defender is going to be near the basket. Plus, you need the quickness advantage of Burke vs. whoever is defending Morgan so that the ballhandler can turn the corner on the hedge and get the ball to the roller. I don't see that working with anyone but Burke and whoever is playing the 5.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
should be hurting us much more this season than it actually has... We basically need Burke to play out of his mind every game against a decent opponent.
EDIT: Or have Novak and Douglass actually contribute offensively to some degree...
February 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
Novak and Douglass have 13 of our 19 points this game; in the conference season they are our 3rd and 4th leading scorers. Come on now. Think before you submit.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:56 PM ^
It was meant to be a hopeful comment, based on the fact they that are clearly leading our offensive effort this game.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
Sorry for the misinterpretation and unnecessarily angry response
February 5th, 2012 at 1:45 PM ^
Michigan State is clearly hyped up and they're playing agressive defense.
They're going to force turnovers, but they're also going to commit a lot of fouls.
We have to match the aggression and get them into foul trouble.
Hang close and win the game from the free throw line.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
their big guys are fat and out of shape. hopefully, they will be burned out for the last 10 min of the game.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
Hey, we were up big and they came back in our house, why can't we do the same?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:49 PM ^
#1 That was at home, this is on the road
#2 Different officiating crew...that crew called fouls on handchecks...this one is letting them play.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
Why is THJ so damn invisible?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
terrible series offensively and yet we are only down 9.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
Shot selection rage. Serenity now.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:49 PM ^
And they said this is OUR Super Bowl. Listen to the crowd and watch the emotions of the players. It's like Dantoniio delivered his hate speech all week long.
Cut out the turn overs and we might have a shot in the second half.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:49 PM ^
Hardaway looks uninterested on offense and has been a liability on defense. He's a second half player right?
February 5th, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
He always gets lost out there in the zone when the ball is on the opposite side. Leaves that backside guy open for jumpers all day...
February 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
THAT SHIT TREY
