Michigan vs. Purdue basketball open thread
I have no words... so disappointed in this team right now.
We were a solid rebnounding team the first half of the season. Then we abandoned rebounding sometime in early February.
done - Big ten tournament and NCAA
for why Tim Hardaway has disappeared into the aether yet again? Is he secretly a freshmen trying to get used to playing on the road? He has the skill to brillant offensively, but he never seems to play poorly. He either plays awesome or just craters into the ground and he's cratered this game and the last one too. He's also terrible on defense, but that's just the norm for this team.
He's shot 5-13 with 3 terrible fouls and one turnover. Pretty sure that's not very good.
Sorry, but if you see this little effort, you pull people off the damn floor and sit their ass on the bench while chewing them up and spitting them out. It almost seems like they are more worried as coaches about not upsetting someone.....hell with it, tear them up, and sit down the players who put forth no effort on D and in rebounding.....both are 90% effort and heart.
damnit..now even trey turning it over
I can't believe a ball fell through the hoop.
LOL can't stop the ball. holy sht
As an upperclassman, he needs to pick up his game bigtime.

pretty obvious foul on that Burke layup attempt
my voice is already gone from yelling at everyone
I'm sorry, but Michigan Basketball will never be elite with John Beilein.
Also, is it just the plan to let players throw up prayers in the second half? There just seems to be a lack of any cohesive plan to even do that with any strategy. It appears to be get the ball down the floor and throw something up....even that last play by Burke......drive into 3 guys and throw it up. Perfect time to hit the open man with everyone playing help on you.
the ball was loose there and we don't seem interested in going after it while the guy rolls his ankle, Beilein needs to coach this team better than this
Now would be a good time.
This is the softest team in the Big Ten. It shouldn't be so easy to come back from a double digit lead against a "top ten" team. Michigan lets everyone do it.
We're digging for answers
And screw me he just and-1'd a 3. I take it all back Matt
Edit: And then he missed the foul shot and was the liability on that Purdue and-1. I don't know what to think of you Matt
Flopper.
Wow Burke sucks tonight. Throwing away the any consideration for POY.
I will give you $100 if you walk up to Trey Burke and say to his face that he sucked tonight.
Yep, I'm done.
Driving and hitting the open man works....who would have thought of that.......and then fuck, let someone drive back down the fucking middle with no help side D and just fuck
Fuuuuuuuuuu
Neg away. I don't care. I am sick of this team having an opportunity to win the B1G title, only to squander it away by nonchalant, sloppy play. Two times in a week they knew they could win the title if they won out, only to lose the next game to a bad team on the road; both times blowing double digit leads. They don't play with their heads in the game, they don't play adequate defense, and they don't rebound.
I won't "keep this in perspective," or "feel happy for Purdue." We should have easily won this game, only for them to fall apart once again and let the team come all the way back and take a big lead. They take horrible, unnecessary shots, and let the other team go on long runs due to this. When we still had a big lead earlier this game, every player seemed to just take the ball, run to the hoop, and take a shot no matter how contested it was.
I am sick and tired of watching this team waste their talent away by not playing as smart and as hard as they can. How many more "wake-up calls" will it take before this team starts to care?
my computer stream must be really lagging. I still show 13 minutes remaining.
