Michigan vs. VCU Tournament Game 2 Open Thread
ED-S: Liveblog. http://mgoblog.com/content/vcu-liveblog
Not sure if the Liveblog continues today. Big Big game today. Advancing the program, or treading water. And of course we get the only 5 seed to survive, so match-ups don't come closer than this. Rest of the bracket doesn't look like world beaters if we win today. One down, five to go. Go Blue!

I can't imagine a better counter to havoc than Trey Burke
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
I'm so excited but I can barely watch!

I think Spike's 10 minutes of Globe Trotter dribbling sets up some monster numbers for GR3 and McGary. Burke comes alive and Beilein will show his mastery of X's and O's to defeat the VCU press.
On to the sweet 16! GO BLUE!!
Kansas looked awful yesterday : )
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
I hope we don't see Spike's globetrotter routine. That's exactly what the VCU man press wants.

I would prefer it if Michigan won this game. Go blue.
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:34 AM ^
here is hoping to a fast start.. can't afford to get behind on this team
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
Let's get it today boys

Let's fucking go.
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
Let's be one of the first into the Sweet Sixteen!!!!
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
Very anxious for the game, in a good way. I think if we play this right, we could shred them. May need a couple cocktails in order to calm down!
Go Blue
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
Bring on the Havoc! This team can shoot the lights out; I don't see VCU being able to keep up.
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
I can never seem to find a radio stream any suggestions. GO BLUE!
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
I listened to the Big Ten tourney on there, and I believe they have this game on the radio as well.
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
From a few articles that I have seen, Dial Global Sports should have the call.
(LINK) - this is their broadcast schedule for today.

We must maintain proper order, not letting these Jacobins from VCU wreak their havoc and create chaos.

Today could either be awesome, or both hockey and basketball could end today. Sad face. Please win!
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
cbs should be streaming this live, right?
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
seems like you need your cable providers login though. I had to put mine in. firstrowsports is always a good option though if you can't use cbs
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
From everything I read it seems like if its on CBS you can always get it for free without putting in a provider. If its on any of the other channels you get a free 4 hours total for the tournament. After that you need the TV subscription.

Is Barkley drunk? Serious question.

i hope CBS is in HD this time.. my picture thursday night was horrible
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
Barkley looks and sounds turrible.
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:07 PM ^
Why is the "B" team still on CBS? I thought we would get Seth Davis and the crew by the weekend
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
to Our Lady of Perpetual Ball Control.
Go Blue!

Nervous as hell for this. All we'd heard about this past week was Wolters and the vaunted press. Wolters is out of the way but this "vaunted press" stands in our way now. I hope Beilein and the boys had a good strategy day yesterday to attack this thing and get out with a big W. I agree, I think we might see a bit more of Spike today. He's a good ball handler, better than the likes of THJ, and may help calm things down bringing the ball up the court.
(Hopefully, Michigan just plays some great defense today and doesn't even allow for this full-court press to even get set up all that often)
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
VCU plays 10-12 guys...so any single player probably won't be in foul trouble but heres to getting into the bonus early! slow the pace of the game down
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
Did Barkley eat them?
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
The Wooden Award might be riding on Trey's performance today. Should be a fun game.
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
VCU has to create turnovers to have a chance and we are the least turnover prone team in the country. We only get beaten by big bangers in the post and they play four guards. Of course in a one-game playoff anyone can beat anyone else (my name is John Thompson III and I approved this message), but I can't imagine a better matchup for us.
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
here is to hopefully making those FREE THROWS.. they are FREE right?
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:14 PM ^
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
in transition. If we get them consistently, we win. If we turn it over, we lose.
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
That's an odd story to tell a five seed playing a four seed in a game with a three-point spread, isn't it?
