Michigan basketball vs Ohio Open Thread (2nd half)
500 for the 1st half, so I thought I'd start a second one.
GO BLUE
January 13th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
was the refs let them mug us and they got away with it
January 13th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
Oh yeah, it was THE REFS that got us in a 21-point deficit. It was THE REFS that had us chucking up forced shots when we were closing in. /s
Sure there were some calls that should have gone our way that didn't, but thinking that the refs were the deciding factor in a game where we had a number of missed opportunities for points (Hardaway turnaround pass in the lane, Burke's blocked break out lay up to name a couple) is delusional.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
Burke did the same thing last year...gets too fucking hyped up because he wants to show up OSU for not offering and he gets outplayed by Craft..
January 13th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
Man, it just doesn't seem like any breaks have gone Michigan's way in either sport in a long time.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
Yeah I mean our basketball team isn't 16-1 and we didn't win because of a hail mary against Northwestern....and I mean I don't think we won the Sugar Bowl because of two jump ball TDs or anything....
January 13th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
Yeah, we destroyed every team we played. We didn't need "breaks." Let me feel sorry for myself asshole.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:52 PM ^
Go Fuck yourself
January 13th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
No need for the namecalling. Let's see what we can learn from today and start looking forward to Minnesota on Thursday.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
An embarrassing effort. Not much to say about this one, just have to move on.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
We still take a shitload of stupid shots.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Burke was awful today. Hopefully this is a learning experience for him. He needs to play smarter than he did today. Get back to sharing the ball and creating shots for his teammates.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Nobody played well in this game.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
but he would be about #10 on my list of guys who need to play well to win this game.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Game's over
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
I'm proud of this team and the fight that they showed. In the other thread I said that this young team needed to play like they wanted to win (and righfully got downvoted). They fought like champions in the second half. Very proud.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Well nothing new, we just can't beat OSU.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
We almost did after digging a nineteen point hole. We beat them last year at home and I think we'll take care of them handedly this year at home. Lighten up man. We're 16-1.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Jacking up threes really paid off....fucking stupid
January 13th, 2013 at 3:42 PM ^
Burke tried to do too much all day. Ended up costing us
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
I think early success got in his head. He is in need of some good coaching - because we need his shot. If any good can come from losing, we've learned that.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
this team panicked the last few minutes by hucking up all those 3s. should have just worked the offense and created good shots. only a couple the multitude of 3s the final few minutes were good looks. that's a lot of lost points. beilein should have used a timeout to stop that BS.
oh well. another tough one on Thur. it would be good to get that one.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
That curly-haired buckeye player they showed on the bench is not what you would call a looker...
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
here we go with the proud of this team talk... no one was saying that in the first half
January 13th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
How can anyone be proud? They had osu by the balls and pissed it away with all the threes they DIDN'T NEED
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
You're an idiot.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
Same old story. Have to figure out how to beat OSU. They seem to have no problem beating us on the regular.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
One final missed call on a dismal day all around
January 13th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
To develop inside presence. McGary did some nice things in the 2nd half. Morgan is a sub at best.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
lost us the fucking game. Why not go inside down 2?
January 13th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
Clearly the blame rests with Borges for this one.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
FIRE BORGES
January 13th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
Why in the hell did we spend the last 6 minutes chucking and missing those damn 3s? Wasted oppotunities.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
The game was embarrassing
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
Knew they would lose one eventually, but didn't think it would be today. I expect a completely different game when they come to Crisler
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
I wish we didn't consistently lose to Ohio State in football and basketball.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
Horrible shooting performances by three of our best shooters and there is no way you can expect to win on the road. People can try to sugar coat this loss all you want but it scares me that if we dont shoot well we can be taken down by a pretty mediocre team.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:49 PM ^
It's been the theme for two straight games, and it does scare me.
We shot 38.3% today and 38.9% against Nebraska.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:54 PM ^
if top 20 is mediocre, the ok...and on the road. the team played 20 min of horrible basketball; the first 15 and final 5, yet still nearly won.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
Drink bleach. You know nothing.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:45 PM ^
enjoy the last win you'll get against us. You're team is still fucking shit.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
Craft, when you work at Columbus best buy you will load my tv.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
Hardaways shot selection is horrible!
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
Hardaway killed us today. What a terrible game.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
He was a liability early, but did you miss the part where he went 5 of 6 and nailed a 3 to get us to within a few points?
January 13th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
I love Trey . . . but playing Ohio gets him too jacked up (especially in Columbus) and he tries too hard to be the hero.
We should not have let this one slip away. Ohio is not that good, but we just weren't poised for long stretches of this game.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
HATE OHIO.... I'm soooo pissed I can't see straight and really want to throw my coffee table through the sliding glass door. It really bothers me how mad I can get when we lose to these fuckers. I couldn't give 2 shits if its any other team
January 13th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
Let's hope they have more focus and intensity for the FULL 40 minutes in the remaining BIG season and the tournament.
GO BLUE!
January 13th, 2013 at 3:48 PM ^
Not being able to consistently win at any sport against ohio, even when we are the better team. I am pretty disgusted.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:48 PM ^
No way Stauskas should be guarding anyone down low.
January 13th, 2013 at 3:48 PM ^
Stauskas has now missed 15 of his last 22 three point attempts.
