As long as your defense is struggle. Good defense keeps you in games where you aren't shooting well.

Burke creates a lot of his shots inside the 3 point line.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
Why does every announcer not named Gus Johnson have to suck so much?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
Lucky that ball bounced over the backboard because no one was in position to get the rebound
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
I love Mitch McGary.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
Mitch showing the range!
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
McGary 2/2 from mid range today? What did he eat for breakfast?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:31 PM ^
Wheaties.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
McGary with 2 jumpers today....very nice
February 9th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
mcgary hitting the 10 footers

Love the Stauskas 270 bench troll. Cocky as fuck and on any other team I'd hate it but somehow it works for me.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
I love the shoes they are wearing today. They look great with the blue uniforms.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:31 PM ^
good things happen

Holy shit Dan Dakich is a fucking cunt. Most negative commentator ever.

Read your second sentence. Then read the first. Is the irony overwhelming yet?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
No not really.

THJ just picked up his third foul. Wow.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Stauskas is going to be the most hated player in the B10 when Aaron Craft leaves.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
it's ok to drive the lane, but kick it out you know when two big guys are in your face. don't chuck up a prayer.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Nik can do the same run again but pass instead of crashing the board next time :).
Not a good start, only down by 1.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Is McGary playing the 4 when Bielfeldt is in the game with him?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
Down a point having survived the inevitable surge Wiscy would get off of playing at home.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
played well without trey in there for that stretch, good sign to see that.
We need to take smarter shots than some of the ones we've chucked up there.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
It's GRIII time!!
February 9th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
Michigan will get that rebound down low
February 9th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
Taking coaching advice from an anouncer is almost definitionally stupid. What is an anouncer but a failed coach?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
Except for Doug Collins, he is a good coach and announcer.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
A former player.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
I enjoy Manly Bielfeldt rebounds

What was horrendous? The Horford block/charge looked wrong from our view, but we never got a decent replay. Regardless, we got the next call.
The only other thing I can think of was the borderline goaltend. Yeah the fan in me wanted it called, but it was pretty damn close and I can't say I'm sure it was moving downward yet.
Gene Seratore is one of the best - he's also an NFL head ref.
February 9th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
Legitimate question, since I get negged for every attempt at promoting civil discussion in a game thread:
Is it possible for the refs to not be terrible? In every game they are "horrendous" and whenever I try to reasonably discuss it, I'm treated like I'm trolling.
Trolling is going to an MSU board and stirring up shit. I'm trying to legitimately discuss something. That used to be the strength of MGoBlog - we were better than the lowest common denominator found at MLive and RCMB.
I'm not calling people out specifically, but the game threads lately have been a bastion of sophomoric bitching and aversion to reasoned debate. I know it is a game thread and emotion will normally trump logic, but still: Can't we hold ourselves to a higher standard?
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
February 9th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
You know, Bielfeldt looks pretty good...
February 9th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
that pick and roll can be surgical sometimes
