What a joke of a shot.

Well, unlucky hit but you again see the importance of Morgan out there. He almost single-handedly eliminates the screen and roll game for the opponents.

fuck buzzerbeaters death to backboards

We're so much better than this team...I expect us to come out and take control in the 2nd half. We just need to run an offense, the defense is there.

Are we in Champaign. I thought we were supposed to get home cooking too.
February 24th, 2013 at 1:47 PM ^
death to backboards as always

us play more with 2 bigs on the court, I think it would help down the stretch and in the tourney

At some point we have to get some bounces.

Need this win. After the long break, it would have been nice to see us come out stronger
February 24th, 2013 at 1:48 PM ^
8 first half offensive rebounds for Illinois. Good lord.
February 24th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
This team lacks the chip on the shoulder mentality they had to start the year, they almost seem disinterested

I really think the NCAA should adopt a rule that banked-in threes don't count.
February 24th, 2013 at 1:54 PM ^
Here's what shooting looks like, despite being down by three:
FG% | 3FG% | FT% | EFF. FG% | |
MICHIGAN | 48.0% | 28.6% | 66.7% | 52.0% |
ILLINOIS | 41.4% | 33.3% | 50.0% | 48.3% |
When we have been taking shots, it's been more or less in line with a typical performance, which is fine. The somewhat disappointing stat is this - 2 offensive rebounds in the half. No blocks either, and although we don't get too many on average, a few might be key in the second half. The defense looks markedly better with Morgan in there, and it was nice to see Albrecht bring it too.

We've got to box out. Come on guys, it's a basic basketball fundamental. Standing around and then trying to jump over people is not only causing us to give up a lot of boards, we're also fouling a lot in the process.

They need to start handing out free beers in the Maize Rage. It's looked dead the last couple Sundays.

I believe we played MSU during spring break two years ago and it was fine. The Blue Rage isn't bad.

I may be wrong as I am not a big fan of the sport, but to me, we just don't look good.

Beautiful McGary!
February 24th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
WOW, TERRIBLE foul call. McGary was completely vertical!
