I like the way you think.

Thomas did get fouled there, just by THJ on the elbow. Burke did nothing. Refs were guessing after Thomas's airball.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:08 AM ^
Don't forget the phantom foul on Burke when Thomas took that shot from the free throw line and airballed.... even though noone touched him. That's 7 for the buckeyes plus the borderline flagrant in overtime.

I hope you get out of Bolivian soon sir.

Great game but man, we need Jordan Morgan back ASAP. Our interior D and defensive rebounding are not the same without him. Ohio seemed to rebound every one of its misses over the last 10 minutes of regulation.

McGary with the hustle all through overtime getting offensive rebounds and key defensive stops. Same goes for Burke and Hardaway the last two posessions.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^
Burke with 16 points 8 assists and 2 turnovers
Apparently that means Craft destroyed him or something from what I was reading.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:56 PM ^
The average points he needs to average to finsh with at least 17 points and 7 or more assists per game to be the first player since Magic to do that...as we get reminded almost as much as we are reminded that Stauskus "isn't just a spot up shooter."
February 5th, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^
If we would have lost tonight, I don't think we win the Big Ten.
How sweet that Burke beats Craft on the last two defensive plays. Take that BITCH!
February 5th, 2013 at 11:35 PM ^
I loooooooooooved that. Mr I'm So Fucking Good At Defense got a couple lessons himself.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^
We need out interior D to improve before MSU or we're not coming out of there with a win
February 6th, 2013 at 12:00 AM ^
Sometimes. Defensive rebounding needs some work, too - c'mon boys, put a body on someone! Overall toughness - like Beilein said - we don't always drive to the basket with authority. We get blocked a lot on penetration. If you go in there tough, you get the foul more often. Trying to finess it all the time leads to a lot of rejection...
February 5th, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^
Wow, he shot us back into the game. 2 bigs came up with a few stops and Burke with the strip, block sequence after losing the ball. HUGE!
February 5th, 2013 at 11:36 PM ^

...I've felt our defense is underrated. I've changed my mind. Great game. Ohio is a tough matchup for us, and OSU mostly played out of their mind. But we have got to play tougher on the D end. We can't just wait for the O to bail us out.

McGary also had an extremely good game, and I haven't seen many props for him. 14 points I think on 7 of 13 shooting with 6 rebounds. Not bad for a freshman in a really tough environment. Those 14 points were what Michigan missed in the IU game, no big man made a good impact on offense in that game.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
Actually McGary had 10 points against IU. What we really missed against IU (and again tonight) was defensive rebounding. Morgan does great work on the defensive glass and we're a lot weaker without him.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:49 PM ^
Thanks for the correction, I must have missed that. i honestly thought we didn't get much offensive production between McGary, Horford, and GRIII in the IU game. I agree that boxing out needs some work for sure.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
Improve defensive rotations...box out...MCGARY THROW IT DOWN...less heroball...Morgan get healthy. And can we start taking it to the teeth of the defense, please?
February 5th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
February 5th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
Don't do it. The man is a demon defensively.
Other snowflakes:
1. Our d-rebounding needs to pick up the pace. Way too many second chances.
2. McGary is getting better and better. I didn't think he could handle increased minutes, but he played very well in back-to-back games.
3. Hitting lots of 3 pointers is fun to watch.
4. Utilize pump fakes against shot blocker. Williams and Thompson both elevate with any shooting motion. Pump fakes would draw a ton o' fouls against that combo.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
the end was the right call.... Just watched it about ten times and could have been argued a call on Burke on the floor but THJ got all ball on the shot.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
Hated what we did on D and what we called on O for the end of the game. Having said that, we had some big stops defensively in OT, boys toughed it out when needed to. Time to grow up fast for GRIII and Stauskas
February 5th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
...looked like he raked some arm before ball contact. But, whateva. I'm taking the "W" and am saving my bitchin' at the refs for another game. Seriously...I almost asploded when Craft's 3-pointer at the end of the shot clock wasn't waived off.
EDIT: Derp. Responded to the wrong post.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
Personal foul!
February 5th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
A win vs a top 10 opponent, in a home game sandwiched around 3 road games to MSU, IU and Wisc. BIG must have win. This is such a good team. We might be #1 again on Monday- does OSU play IU this weekend?
February 6th, 2013 at 12:12 AM ^
IU has two road games this week: Illinois on Thursday and OSU on Sunday.
February 5th, 2013 at 11:39 PM ^
over ohio. Hoping for more to come.

Jordan Kovacs wearing the michigan helmet and glasses next to Denard. Do it.
