Well only being down four after that half of basketball is a good thing.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
Am I the only one thinking that ESPN is biased for Pittsburgh? At one point, they showed the stats "Pittsburgh outscored Michigan 9-6." Outscored?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Something stupid like "Pitt is on a 33-29 Scoring Run".
November 21st, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
so Pitt plays out of their minds, we play really average and we're only down 4 points, I expect us to whoop their asses in the 2nd half
2 things I'd like to see:
espn showing normal camera angles and full screen and the refs to tell Dixon to get the fuck off the court
November 21st, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
I can't see Pitt duplicating that 1st half. We should pull away in the 2nd
November 21st, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
Just spilled my chexmix after that burke shot and now my cat it going apeshit! If Pitt misses anything this next half,. I think we we'll pull ahead. Also, fix your hair PLEASE Dixon.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
You would think Pitt was blowing us out. They are up by 4, but PITT IS BACK!!!!!!! ESPNZZZZZ
November 21st, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
That was an unbelievable fellatiation for an unranked team playing one good half.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
I'm at the game right now. Crowd is 80% Michigan and ready to erupt once Michigan starts rolling
November 21st, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
Tell the refs to keep Dixon off the court.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
I'm not feeling too pessimistic due to the fact we're down 4 at the half and Pitt couldn't miss a 3 and we couldn't hit one. First time seeing the team from start to finish and man we are going to be really good.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
Did Ill beat UNC in the maui?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
Butler beat them
November 21st, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
A little while back saying Michigan was overrated. I think it was rittenburg and he said Belein has never coached a top 25 defense. Does anyone know what metric he may have been using for that? I assume scoring D right?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
And he was referring to team defense (referencing KenPom). I'm not sure if he was only talking about his Michigan career or if it was his whole coaching career (KenPom only goes back to 2003).
November 21st, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
Pitt can keep this up if we keep leaving guys open for 3 and turning the ball over, lucky to be down by only 4
November 21st, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
Need to knock down some shots. Burke and Stauskas can't do everything.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why they didn't review the shot clock violation? It was clearly late, they didn't call it and they didn't even pretend to review it.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Second replay showed it wasn't very clear. Close enough. Whatever. Could have defended better.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
this is what it feels like to be on the other side of the ball when the Three Ball is killing a team. Not so fun -__-
But still right in it.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
Odds Bruce Webber wears a purple sport jacket on Friday?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
I feel bad for Bruce webber. It must be expensive to buy a full new set of ties whenever he gets a new job
November 21st, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
That shot out of the half?
November 21st, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
obvious travel
November 21st, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
these refs are terrible
November 21st, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
Burke is the best PG we've ever had. I said it.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
I dunno, Rickey Green was pretty damn good.
November 22nd, 2012 at 12:36 PM ^
So was Gary Grant.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
Burke is money when pushing the tempo on the run.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
Thank you Burke. We need to get out in transition. We should be running constantly. Start with defense and quick outlets.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
We need to man the fuck up. Also THJ: you can't force it if you are cold tonight. Pass the effing ball
November 21st, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
Shit2 over the back fouls on burke
November 21st, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
McGary in, hope he can spark some fire rebounding.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
Robinson at 4 against this team aint working. Rebounding liability.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
We just can't rebound. Killing us. We're only getting a rebound once every 3-4 possessions. Can't run like that.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
Grab a fucking rebound
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Stuff-skaus!
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
These turnovers are killing us.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Jeez, that works, let's just keep sending burke to the bucket.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Morgan is a liability on offense and not a good enough defender to warrant that, one of mcgary or horford need to step up or we won't be an elite team
November 21st, 2012 at 10:51 PM ^
How was anything I said worth being voted down, guy has scored like 20 points his entire career from outside the paint, has few to no offensive moves and stops nobody from driving the lane as a shot blocker
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
So frustrating tonight. They make a couple of good defensive stops and then turn the ball over.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Michigan needs McGary out there to win.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
Until he does that. Lol... he's still a freshman.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Keep attacking Burke!
November 21st, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
1-3-1 working like a charm
November 21st, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
Playing much better now. A few rebounds and runouts and we'll have a lead.
November 21st, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
Mcgary being a freshman right there
