Michigan Basketball vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Game 3 Open Thread
I find it amazing that Michigan cannot score after a Kansas miss.
Blame Jerry Jones
We honestly need to take some more threes!
This is more commercials than usual.
we've had PLENTY of open threes but not knocking 'em down. No interior D, and not just on the big guys either.
I still say fire the coach
And that's why you're the board moron...
you said the same thing about four posts above, asswipe.
His post is directed at an app troll and not you, just an FYI.
I hope you're joking. If not, jump off a cliff.
If so, I have no idea what I wrote that was offensive.
No. The jerk with the fire the coach post.
We are still in this. Just actually play for 9 minutes. We haven't done it yet, so...
UM fans, please burn down Jerry World on the way out
In spite of everything, if we hit our open 3's and a few more FT's we'd be tied up.
Can we just stay the fuck out of JerryWorld in the future? Nothing but bad memories at that accursed temple to American capitalism.
Belein is a fantastic recruiter. However his style of play is always going to be predisposed to playing a very soft brand of basketball that as the season goes along is going to be exposed. I do not think he can take us to the next level. But thats just me and my opinion. He brought Michigan back from the brink but we may need a new voice to lead us to compete for national titles.
We just need to hire a basketball version of Greg Mattison.
It's the reluctancy to play big.
We can play our free flowing style and hang with anyone. But defensively we can't be elite unless we're better inside.
Even the little girl in the commercial wants more interior defense.
No defense tonight. Writing is on the wall. We are too young against this kind of talent.
Need a Long armed PF to defend in the paint. I don't see any recruit like that coming either.
McGary has been the only positive tonight.
I just don't get how our interior defense can be so terribly bad. It's not like we've got horrible, undersized players in there. We should at least be "adequate" and not "terrible".
I don't get it, if Robinson can't guard anyone and isn't going strong to the basket, and isn't making open shots, what's the point of playing him? Al least Morgan would give us a little boost on defense
Oh, great, here come the "fire Beilein" comments...peace out. I'm not gonna sift through that bullshit the rest of the game.
fuck Jerry Jones and his giant Stadium!
Unprepared, uninspired and lacking focus
Freshman.yell at them. Fuck their feelings
Sweet 16 is right. Michigan is a top 16 team, not top 8.
Yea, but Wichita State is. It's the tournament. Shit happens with matchups and such.
It's about who you play. Lousiville would have been a better match for Michigan than Kansas.
Ouch, that hurt.
Even the scorekeeper feels sorry for us
if they keep giving Kansas points to us
Ahyeeeeeee!
Giving Spike so much run doomed this team. Good season, I guess.
What other option do we have.
Maybe the wrong time to play him so much. But Spike has a monster learning curve when he takes over next year.
Shoulda played more earlier in the year.
Burke lifetime in the NCAA tournament:
17-54 shooting (31.4%)
Now they call a foul and it sends Morgan to the line. Hope he hits em both
Dang! Bad time to be in the bonus ... I guess one is ok
Overall disappoint, especially with the 1st half start, team isn't physically ore tally tough
Sorry, but saying this before the games over when we're down 6 means you'zz a bitch.
As good as GRIII is, with the way he disappears and can't play D...is it really a HUGE loss if he goes to the league?
Burke gone. Hardaway stays. GRIII stays after flirting with scouts.
We NEED a few 7 footers. A rim presence.
Sometimes I hate fellow michigan fans. You watch a few basketball games on TV and suddenly some of you think you're basketball experts. No, you don't know more basketball than coach B does. We're just getting outplayed by a superior basketball team... period.
Average commenter is a genius bc they post REBOUND like its just not clarified enough
Have you ever coached . I've coached for 15 years. These boys are unprepared and playing like shit. No hustle, poor poor poor game plan. And no defense , this problem just didnt pop up. Didn't we just fire the other coach that didnt teach defense
This is the style Michigan should play when we are matched up against better half court teams.
Whats the score please
Down 11. 3:45 left.
