Michigan vs OSU Open Thread
Well here we go. 20 minutes till tip-off, playing for a shot against MSU for our first (non-vacated) BTT final/Championship BEAT OHIO
heads tonight. The basketball team played brain-dead. Is it that difficult to take a good look once in a while?
There's always next week.
Yea, nothing left to say here. I'm taking my ball and going home.
We just too tired after last night's game.

Sullinger is gone after this season right?
but I have to give credit where credit is due, ohio has more talent and they're playing way better.
I wish we woulda showed up today, better clean this shit play up for the tourney
Even if they didn't get bounces, they'd still score over 50 fucking points. Don't rationalize how bad this game was.
or Borgoyne at Saratoga...or Lee retreating from Gettysburg...a number of French losses; well this sucks, anyways...
these guys looked beat from the start. and playing like shit on CBS is not a good omen considering the tournement is pretty much exclusively on CBS
I just can't get over the fact that we're laying this big of an egg in the last game before the tournament. Leaves me with the worst taste in my mouth.
OSU obviously deserves to win but I just wish we could close the gap a little bit. This margin of victory is so embarassing.
i refuse to believe that michigan can't hold on to the ball and then OSU gets a foul everytime they lose the dribble
This is why you need to take care of inferior teams (i.e. Minnesota last night). If we didn't overexpend ourselves trying to win that game, we would've had a better effort today.
Colorado vs Arizona. Who doesn't want to watch that match-up?! What a baaaad conference this year. I've watched a few games throughout the year and man, some bad teams up in there
we are getting little brothered...
Havent had this deep, burning anger at OSU in a while. God I hate them.
we survive to fight another day. We'll take this to heart and be motivated for the NCAA tournament (which is probably the only good thing anyone can say about today).
Let's just hope we can regroup after this and give a strong showing in the tourney. Nothing will cleanse the palate of a loss like this like a solid tourney run.
I am not sure why everyone seems so angry and shocked about this. Yes I wanted UM to win and yes I think we could have won this game, but I dont think anyone would argue that Ohio has considerably more talent than us. It's just a fact. That doesn't mean we cant beat them but it does mean that if they blow us out on an off night, it shouldnt be a surprise to anyone.
It is what it is. The talent gap will get smaller next year and we'll still have the coach who gets Michigan to play better than the sum of it's talent. I for one am satisfied with getting a share of the Big Ten title during a season that supposedly was one of the toughest Big Ten's in recent memory.
The only thing that really disapoints me about this game is that Michigan never really made any sort of run in this game to get with in 10 or something. Ohio just trouced us from start to finish. You can blame it on being tired, just not having a good day or Ohio being extremely motivated, whatever. But there should have at least one little run today that we can smile about.
I can't argue that Ohio objectively has more talent.
Still, it was borderline unbearable to hear the CBS coverage speak as if Michigan had no business winning a share of the B1G title. I realize we got housed in this game, but there was zero consciousness on the part of the announcers that we beat OSU a few weeks ago, and that MSU split with us as well, as if they hadn't watched us once all year.
Infuriating. What's worse is that our single game performance did nothing to shake their foregone conclusion.
They also conveniently forgot how short our bench is, and we had just played an overtime game.
Watching football highlights right now. I feel much better
I guess we just forget this happened and get ready for our seeding. Wow, I didn't know some of these guys were on the team...
I love whoever is marking anything remotely negative as trolling. Guess what...you can be a diehard fan and be disappointed in the game without being a troll. It's called being realistic. It's not like people are flaming the players or coaches.
I also love that OSU is still shooting early in the shot clock and taking threes. Classy move, guys!
is a really really average player, how the fuck was he considered a 4 star
saying we don't belong ... probably was lucky to be co-champs. Fuck you jim nance!
or is he so buried on the depth chart that they didn't even bother with his name...
Our bench looks better than their bench at least.
Jeese, we should have put the bench in earlier.
Oh well 2-2 against Ohio this year
ran into a buzz saw today...regroup and get ready for the tournament...Beilein knows what to do
today that makes me think we making past the 1st fucking round. not 1 god-damn thing. I have seen more heart from junior high girls than these guys today. I see hustle from Novak and Burke and no one else. just a lot of standing around and losing lose balls, not boxing out, getting the ball stripped by smaller players, air-balling 12 ft jumpers, thorwing up desperation 3's. The gap in athleticism is painfully obvious. we made these guys look like an NBA team today. No balls, no heart, nothing today. I feel bad for JB. That guy and his staff coach their asses off. Actually pretty impressive that we got a share of the BIG. And I am not discounting the accomplishments of this team so far this yr. But man, it really sucks to get our asses kicked by these guys
This is a rather transparent attempt at trolling.
The dude outscored some of the starters...
