we can't play defense, and GRIII and Stauskus have gone dormant. Trey Burke is simply not as good as advertised, Hardaway gets frazzled in big games, and our bigs can't score. In Big Ten play, this team has been no better than last year's.

Watch your back

Up side:
They are a solid top 5-10 team.
Down side:
They split against every top 25 team.

Alright guys we just need to hit six three pointers in a row while also not letting them score a point and we're RIGHT BACK IN THIS!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:22 PM ^
Now I feel much better about this. Sounds really easy.

I mean seriously...all this bitching about the refs is loser talk. Refs favor the team that is trying hard and hustling more. Michigan is doing neither, and when that happens, calls are going to go against you. That's how sports work.
Try harder, and better things will happen. End of story.

I never thought too much about people "getting" the rivalries, but it does seem like OSU and MSU come out and play harder against us in both football and basketball. I know the coaches talk about the rivalries a lot, but the team doesn't come out with any passion or toughness. MSU and OSU come out ready to rock.

And burn those We On shirts. They are fucking stupid to begin with.
They look like something Woody Harrelson would have worn in White Men Can't Jump (except for the lack of neon colors).
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
Doubt we get as many calls in AA.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
This is where I just really want to coach lose his shit and go off of the refs.

They have been in every game this year they have lost until tonight. Kind of wonder if that Wiscy loss got into their head. Sparty just ain't that good.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:25 PM ^
Sparty may not be as good as they look tonight but they are probably the best team in the B10. I want to see them play IU in the B10 Tourney to judge but Michigan isn't mentally or physically tough enough to hang with them when they are on top of their game. I don't like to admit it, but it is true. We match up better with Indiana which is why they didn't totally embarrass us. This program still has work to do before they are on an elite level. They are still very young and the experience will help down the road. The expectations have kind of grown out of control and the team is getting hit with a reality check.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Better a thorough ass-kicking than a heart-ripping loss like in Wisconsin. Wouldn't want to have either but whatever.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
The only explanation for getting shown up this badly is just a complete lack of focus and toughness.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:35 PM ^
Nope one year like 10-12 years ago they played at Duke and opened down like 22-0 or something crazy.

This team looks lost. They are young and this could be a confidence killer.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
On the bright side it doesnt look like we'll have to worry about guarding the inbounder in this game.......
February 12th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
win a game playing against the refs too
February 12th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
You're delisional if you think the refs are the reason we're losing this game. They're not helping but we're being absolutely dominated in every single aspect of this game, no matter what the refs were doing we'd be losing. Please don't do this.

I'm giving up Big Ten refs for lent.

This is exactly how they played in the first half of the Ohio and Indiana games. The difference is MSU is not going to let off the gas.
