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 6:38 PM ^
Glen Robinson is playing huge right now.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
I don't think it's given that kansas won't jump us since they beat 11 kstate. Man kstate winning their games this week would have been sweet. OT I know
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
GRIII is such a beast on the offensive boards
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Burke 1-6 now with 2 turnovers. Really struggling.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Three ball! Burke says GTFO out of my house and go haunt someone else.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
Burke's had enough carry the team on his back moments to earn our trust and let the other guys step up.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Pretty sick move by Paul.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
the only big that can finish
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
How good is Illinois' D? Cause it looks pretty good so far; very intense.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
They're obviously in a free fall. This game would be absolutely huge for them, especially considering the stretch they have ahead of them.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Paul's 3 ball is the only thing keeping them in the game.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
I feel like we say this about someone every single game
January 27th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
That's because we're one of the worst teams at defending the three ball. If you have a hot shooter, you can beat us with even mediocre two-point performance. That is, if we're having an off night on offense.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Shhhhhhhhhhhh....
January 27th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
Finally!!!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Burke with the answering three! But seriously, Illinois and their inability to miss 3-pointers is really making me angry.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
you go Burke.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Hey, there's Trey!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Let's take some better shots and take their crowd out of this before halftime. That three was much better but maybe only because it went in.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Not sure why Burke is trying to do it all right now, well, specifically on that play.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
He can barely stand up on defense.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
him out of a cold streak. We need a run to close the half strong.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
This is a good game so far. Constant action on both ends.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
The sound mixing for this game is just terrible, way too much random crowd noise covering up the floor noises
January 27th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
Brandon Paul is such a selfish player. Has he ever passed the ball in his career?
January 27th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
Not having Morgan is really hurting us right now.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
Burke seems to be forcing the action to get his offense going. Maybe needs to slow it down a bit
January 27th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
Freshman have 19 of our 29, Hardaway and Trey have combined 7. Smh...
January 27th, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
Burke and Hardaway shooting 25% each from the field. On the other hand if we can go into half with a lead with those two playing this bad I am feeling very confident for the second half.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
Biggest problem right now is that Paul can shoot right over Burke, and he's too quick for THJr. This game will be a lot less stressful if Paul shoots closer to 33% rather than 50%.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
Freshmen are carrying us right now. We just need to finish this half out, and then I look forward to Beilein halftime adjustments and Trey/Tim getting back into this game (although they both are Ding up pretty well).
January 27th, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
Looking good so far - the Illinois 'make contested 3 pointer offense' isn't gonna be sustainable over 40 minutes
January 27th, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
They're getting all of these 50/50 balls, they're out rebounding us, they're making the hustle plays.
This is where McGary needs to bring us some energy, THJ needs to get us going, we need to match their passion right now. If they were making shots we'd be down by 10. If we we're playing with their energy we'd be up 15.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
Have you ever made a single positive comment?????????? EVER. You are a miserable person.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
I'm pretty sure I was the one who made the "Happy Thread" just last night.
Also in this thread I've raved about GRIII and Stauskas.
You read what you want. It's the truth. We need to play better.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
You are all good buddy. Referring to that miserable black cloud of negativity in the subject line
January 27th, 2013 at 6:46 PM ^
Ironic.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:46 PM ^
...this is awkward.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
I think the two regular Yost guys are more negative than other posters.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
That kid doing the YMCA in Illinois' band has abnormally long arms
January 27th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
These Illinois 3 balls are getting ridiculous
January 27th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
holy shit are they gonna make every 3?
January 27th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
Illinois needs to cool off from the 3.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
COUNT IT! And the foul. Strong work, Trey Burke.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
That should get Trey going!
January 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
They need to start missing some threes.
January 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
FYI if you have VLC 2.0.5 you can stream in pretty awesome quality by opening VLC and copy/pasting the following url:

January 27th, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
You. You are awesome. Is this available for every game on BTN?
January 27th, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
I think so. You go to this link first that lists all the games:
http://66.172.33.99/
And then paste the game's url into VLC. Seems like it'll be available until the BTN gets wise to it.
Got it from here (2nd post in the thread)
