Michigan Basketball vs. Florida Game 4 Tournament Open Thread
Love wii dance. At least it is exercise.
But yeah, on this case break the fucking wii
Give them a couch and some matches to play with in the front yard.
If my cousins turned this game off, their WII would be in pieces.
Remember PSU...don't let it slip away now.
I keep telling all my friends that
The point about Florida being a 3-point shooting team is a good one. Still, not sure we could have dreamed a much better first half. Just keep the energy up for the next 20 minutes and remember no lead is completely safe.
The only time Florida ever made little runs was when our starting 5 wasn't in. I hope Coach B manages his substitution patterns well in the 2nd half.
I'm sure it was a calculated decision to keep the starters energized in the end of the second. If he's doing that and it's a 10 point game, well, not good.
We need focus now more than anything else. Well, that and some Mitch McGary to get us rolling again...
Exactly. We have managed to have a 17 point lead with Mitch having just a couple of steals since the first TV timeout. If he comes out and dominates to start the second half, we should be able to extend this further.
Win each possession. Win each possession.
up by 17. no one played excessive minutes. we are in great shape. keep up the intensity and atlanta here we come
We lead 45-14 for starters at half. UF bench leads 16-2.
Stauskas is outscoring their starting 5 so far.
And Gottleib is still obnoxious.
Not new news. He can't help himself.
But no, still just a dick.
Gottlieb gonna Gottlieb
Let's See what halftime adjustments they make. Beilein adjusts vs Donovan adjusts. Not sure what adjustments Beilein should make at this point...lol.
Fewer forced shots from Tim and no shots from Caris. Considering how well our offense has been executing, anything other than a point blank shot from Caris is not the correct percentage play.
Mitch is playing like an all American.
I'm still wanting to know why we didn't slow it down the last 2 minutes or so. If we had waited to shoot until 10 secs left or so, even had we missed and not rebounded, Florida would've only had time to score a few baskets.
Burke to pick the ball and not score on the breakaway but kill clock instead?
C'mon. You know that wasn't what I was talking about. We rushed shots out last 4 or 5 possessions, not fast breaks.
and not wanting to slow down?
We didn't get up 20 by killing clock. Never slow a team down. Keep the peddle to the floor.
Go get 'em.
The Naismith becomes more of a foregone conclusion.
Weird that 17 points with 20 min of basketball left isn't really that big of a lead. Especially that we came back from 14 down with half that amount of time.
One tenth that time.
Our team needs to remember that just yesterday Wichita St almost choked away a 20 point lead to a team way more offensively impaired than Florida is. If Florida gets hot and gets the momentum, they'll be right in this one
that they did not have a week to scout us. We lead by one Stauskas.
I can wait.
In this first half it seems that our whole season is culminating in our ability to score and finally D a team up. 20 minutes still left. Need to get THJ going
No whammies. No whammies. No whammies. Please no whammies.
and kstate nearly beat lasalle down by 20 or so
intensity, intensity, intensity!
I almost can't stand this...my heart is in my throat. I sucessfully swayed said cousins with peanut butter pie and the threat of my fists. My wife is not happy with me...neither is their dad. Lets go blue!!!!
Well played sir, well played.
Tell their dad to send them to dance class. It's the friggin tourney.
You did the right thing, and in an appropriate way. Does pie last an hour tho??
We are shooting 51%, FLA is shooting 41%. (it was something like 61% to 21% halfway throught). FG% has started to even out.
BUT, we are winning these stats, and this is much more important:
Rebounds, 21-13
Assists, 11-6
Blocks, 4-1
That is team play and energy right there!
I wonder what Coach Bacari is saying to them right now.
Our resident Syracuse-Michigan poster is going to be unbearable this week.
Didn't he already make a douchey comment about rooting for Syracuse over Michigan?
But the over-under on him getting banned will probably be high.
That guy...
My father in law is a SU alumnus. I am not going to watch the game at home, since my wife will pull for SU. Its just better that way.
"Run it up Herman, leave no doubts!"
seriously...do it. lets make this a statement. then chant SEC afterwards
If 3 pt% evens out we're going to have to lean even harder on McGary.
So we don't let it happen. Rut them off the line and switch. We played decent perimeter D in the first half. It only evens out if we let it. Simple.
