Wisconsin just made their first free throw of the game in assembly hall. They have shot only four. Who isn't surprised.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
To be fair indiana has only shot 8
January 14th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
Feels like we should be up 20, Penn State closes the half on a 10-3 run.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
Reminds me of another Michigan - Penn St game ... grrr
January 14th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
We should be up WAY more than 7.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
Turn to IU/Badgers game
January 14th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
like we really remember last year. Pour it on in the second half!
January 14th, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
Ugh - we're letting this junky team hang around. The missed front end by Nik followed by the 3 by PSU was a really irritating sequence.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
Honestly, we should be up 15 easy. Kind of unsettling how close it still is after Penn State spent the first 15-16 minutes looking like Houston Baptist.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
Assembly Hall is such horseshit.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:53 PM ^
That front end 1 & 1 miss followed by a runout leading to a Penn State three really hurt.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
Indiana has gotten just about every single big call tonight. Wisconsin getting totally screwed.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
Assembly Hall tends to have that effect.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
no one has ever been screwed at the Kohl Center.
/s/
January 14th, 2014 at 8:55 PM ^
Indiana wins 75-72.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
As much as I hate Wisconsin that game pisses me off.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
Storming the court? Does this qualify?
January 14th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
Wow. Indiana rushing the court after a home victory against Wisconsin. Sad.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
Aren't most court-stormings the home team? I feel like the visitors rushing the court would be ... awkward. Anyways, they haven't beaten Wisconsin since 2007 and they just beat a very good Wisconsin team when many wrote them off as a listless bubble team.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Still though. They spent a lot of last year at the top of the rankings and it's only four games into the big ten season. It's not like they are rivals with Wisconsin either. I think it was a bit much.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
Not sure why fans have a problem with rushing the court. It's fun.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Ha fair point on the home team, but I still think it's pretty ridiculous. You're the reigning Big Ten champions and the most storied program in the conference. You shouldn't be rushing the court for Wisconsin four games into the conference season.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
Well... Wisky's going to be playing with a chip on their shoulder on Saturday... Should help our mentality knowing that they are beatable, however.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
Don't really like having to play a revenge-minded Wisconsin next.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
Why? We're not the ones they're seeking revenge against.
January 14th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^

January 14th, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
and jump around. We won the half!! Let's show Indiana what a silly celebration looks like!!
January 14th, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
Was that Zoidberg in the stands?
January 14th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Need company for a basketball game? Why not Zoidberg?
January 14th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
I know I'm not alone in this but I won't be changing the channel after the game
January 14th, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
This half time seems longer than usual for some reason
January 14th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
How many front end of 1&1s has Nik missed this year. Seems like a ton.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
Did anyone else notice that the official Michigan Basketball twitter @umbball is suspended?
January 14th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Handle is @umichbball
January 14th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Uptonesque
January 14th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Dat Crisler home-cookin'. Oh wait, that was on Morgan? Sheeit.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Seriously though. The camera man is loving him that dance team girl.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
Anyone else getting a weird chirping noise in the background or is that just my cable?
January 14th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
Lead down to 3, PSU on a 14-3 run going back to the 1st half.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
i feel like Levert is missing some pick and roll passes that Stauskas sees.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
When we need points, Caris is there.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
It gets old not being able to put crappy teams away.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
If Caris Levert has no interest in playing defense, sit his ass on the bench. I'm so sick of watching this.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
guys are standing around on defense
January 14th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
Yep, well, we're doing that thing where we let a bad team hang with us again.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
This a pathetic team defensively. Absolutely pathetic
January 14th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Beilein needs to realize this and start going to the zone. Our defense against screens is horrible and people take us one on one to the hole for 2 seemingly at will.
January 14th, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
A zone doesn't automatically cover up for lack of defense, if teams can beat us 1 on 1 off the dribble, and can easily penetrate the zone that way, welcome to dunks and lay ups all day.
