Michigan mens basketball vs. Illinois open thread
a win tonight and we're # 1 in the nation and # 1 in the big ten
January 27th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
We haven't taken advantage of it.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:31 PM ^
We are in the lead on the road in the Big Ten against a team desperate. I would say we could be in a worse situation.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
Illinois shooting 50% from 3 point is the recipe for them to win. Hope that cools off a bit.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
and here come the 3 ball prayers from Illinois...that apparently go in most of the time. They are us a la 2011-2012
January 27th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
These announcers need to stop acting like every shot is a miracle.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Looks like Illinois is putting a defensive line across the free throw line to stop penetration maybe. Or they're just reacting to our offensive set-up.

anyone know where I could find a Maize & Blue Canadian Flag like the one the Maize Rage displays at home games? Would like to get my hands on a couple of them
January 27th, 2013 at 6:31 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
wsa hoping to avoid that...
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
JB, this is a bad lineup right now. THJ only offensive threat.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
Wow, our defense fell asleep on that...
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
Good lord McGary. Take the ball to the basket!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:30 PM ^
Morgan going out early really hurts.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
Yep. So many people don't understand he does ALL the little things very well. They like to focus on the missed shots which, you know, happen for everyone.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
Not to mention they only happen to him at a 40%. He still hits a respectable 60% of his shots, even if he does miss some good opportunities.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
And hurt us playing McGary and Morgan together which may be the move to get some of these boards.
I still may try Horford and McGary together...we've got to get some rebounds.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
We have got to challenge shots more and for the love of @#$%, BOX OUT!!!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
It seems to me that Illinois has some very good players, but they are also very undisciplined. Multiple times leaving their feet to pass with no options, and a few passes way off thrown out of bounds. Beilein's disciplined style clearly shows.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
Burke needs to get it going. He's been nonexistant so far.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
That is all.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
YEEEESSSSSS BACARI IS WIRED FOR SOUND!!!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:35 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
Our shot selection has been terrible too, but that's because no one's getting dribble penetration
January 27th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
Burke has got to stop the one man game.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:35 PM ^
Between out shooting and our rebounding this is getting very frustrating.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:35 PM ^
Another missed offensive board.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:35 PM ^
Ok, the orange crush's whining is getting old.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:36 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
I do not understand why our big men have hands made of rocks.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:36 PM ^
They're ready to go home and we just got started.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
What a drive!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
McGary really struggling tonight
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Great tap in!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
You go, Little Big Dog!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
I love Little Dog. That is all.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
That tap-in by Robinson out of nowhere!! Strong work.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Does Griffey always have to play well against us?
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
McGary seems lost out there.
