MBB: UM vs. Penn State Open Thread.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
count me out. I am officially done with college basketball an this team. No grit, no fire, no toughness, and no heart.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
Well b lucky take make it to the sweet 16 terrible coaching, no defense, no bigs, no one boxes out, trey is the only one that plays with any sort of aggression, and they play awful under pressure.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
We'll be lucky to make it to the Sweet 16? You mean Round of 32? Or even 64? If Michigan plays like it did tonight, they won't beat anyone in the tournament.
I think Sweet 16 is too optimistic at this point.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
So, by far the worst upset in hoops this year. Doesn't feel like this team is getting better and Sparty has nothing to worry about I fear.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
All this talent....and just get embarassed time and time again. We just like to show people we are not worthy of being a top 5 team it seems.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
1. Get the message that this game is about effort, rebound and win two of your last three (and compete in your loss), win a game in the B10 tourney, and go in to March as a mean four seed.
2. Complete the collapse, lie two or three of remaining games, lose in B10, and drop to a 11/12 seed.
Up to the coaching and team leadership.
February 28th, 2013 at 4:40 AM ^
Which would at worst correspond to a 6 seed... not that they'd deserve that.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
Is it football season yet?
February 27th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
this team will have an early exit in the ncaa tourney
bad defense
leaving guys open on top of the key
0-14 psu
forget a 1 seed
hell i wouldnt be surprised if this team doesn't get past the round of 32 in the tourney
February 27th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
No fire. No will to win. This team will be lucky to make it out of the first round of the NCAA tournament.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
Second year ina row where Michigan fades late, due to mediocre defense and an overly predictable offense that too often degenerates into panicked threes and no ball movement. I'm done watching them for this year and will not be surprised to see this turn into a four game losing streak.
For those of you with the intestinal fortitude to keep up with this team, you're better people than I and godspeed.

When Morgan or McGary comes out on the hedge aren't they supposed to stop the dribbler? Why was it so easy to go around them. All they did was drive for an open layup or kick for an open three.

Figures. It figures that it had to be Michigan that lost on a buzzer beater to Wisconsin, again. It figures that it had to be Michigan that got beaten by a lowly, garbage team of Penn State walk-ons to ruin their chances of a Big Ten title. It figures that our defense would give up a 15 point lead to the worst team in the conference, arguably one of the worst teams in America.
I don't care that Penn State is "playing its best basketball" right now. They're winless, or were winless, in conference play for a reason. They're a horrible team, and we let them win. We let them literally snatch this away from us. Tonight was the definition of inexcusable. If we play remotely like we did tonight in the first round of the tournament, it'll be a damn early exit.
Neg me all you want, but I think we all need to do a little venting right now. Screw it all. Let me know when football season starts.
A 15 point lead? A 15 point lead? Are you fucking kidding me?
February 27th, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
You shouldn't be negged for this at all. They lost to Penn State. Enough said.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
What a Denard type does for a team. These lead by my action types are well and good but nobody owns this team. Trey works his ass off, everyone else stands around. Somebody needs to own this team. Good to see coach B finally get fired up... Its too late though Johnny. Too late.
February 27th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
You get what you put in whether it is a game or in life. The young men seemingly didn't put in much banking on a winless Penn State team cowering and looking ahead to Saturday. You would think since Penn State played them tough at home they would have really took it to them here. Not the case at all. This team just doesn't respond well to pressure which is what the tourney is all about.
February 27th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
They are likely already gathering couches to burn up in EL.
February 27th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
I'm gutted about the loss... I mean its Penn State. But these reactions are out of control. "I'm never watching Michigan again and I'm not a fan and I can't see us winning a game in the tournament and Beilein should probably quit/get fired/throw himself off a bridge..." Um these are our guys, remember?!? Our student athletes. They feel short but they are our boys.
Go Blue.
February 28th, 2013 at 4:47 AM ^
but as for winning a single tournament game... we are playing our worst basketball of the year and March starts tomorrow...
February 27th, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
This team just doesn't know how to play defense, and Tim and Trey are the only two guys on the team that truly care about winning and giving everything they have on a nightly basis. We are a top 20 team at best, and the way we are playing right now, we'll be lucky to win a game the rest of the year. It was nice thinking we were actually a good team about a month ago. It was fun while it lasted. Just to make it clear, I'm not giving up on this team, just stating what I believe based on what I've seen out of these players in the past month. I hope they prove me wrong and make a strong run in March.
February 28th, 2013 at 1:02 AM ^
Still trying to figure out how-in-the-hell we lost to Penn St. Good grief.
