Wisconsin versus Michigan - open thread
February 16th, 2014 at 1:36 PM ^
Kamisky is coming over the top on just about every rebound, but damn we are giving up too many offensive boards.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:37 PM ^
Basketball is complicated
February 16th, 2014 at 1:37 PM ^
Thanks Nik. Needed that basket.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:38 PM ^
Fucking slam him to the court when he bring that shit in the lane
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
We are going to get beaten by 30 by MSU.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
The entirety of our offense consists of long twos. Its horrible
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
This team sucks major dick
February 16th, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
Thanks for that hard-hitting analysis.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
Just another game where I'm hoping the team can cut the deficit to single digits by half.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
Gotta get some shots inside 17 feet.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
We are taking godawful shots.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
We've devolved into shooting contested threes. This one is done. Sickening
February 16th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
More like contested long-twos.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
Turning this off at half time unless we make a run. I'd rather go the library than watch this.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
I blame the guy who let his dad go golfing!
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Starting to really have an Iowa feel to it. This isn't the time of year to just stop showing up for big games.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
They just called that a foul. I'm done. Switching to radio so at least I don't have to see this travesty
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Beat the Badgers!
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
each defender of ours getting abused big time by each wisky guy. gasser has been the only quiet guy but i think even he drained his only 3.
getting "out toughed" by this wisky team is an absolute joke.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
The 3rd period of Canada-Finland is starting. At least that game is competitive.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Once again they aren't ready to play. This is the 4th time in the last few games save Nebraska. that's not to say they will lose buy my goodness the hole is getting too deep. STOP DIGGING
February 16th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
Might as well sit the starters and play the bench. Hell, they may actually keep it closer.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
Why can't Jordan Morgan get a rebound? How is it that I learned how to box out in Junior high school but nobody on Michigan knows this? We play horse with everyone but when they shoot well, we get blown out. Weekends have been our curse for 3 weeks now.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
I hate to say it, but if we get any closer than 8 from here on out, I'll be surprised. Wisconsin owns the boards and drains the clock. Perfect style for holding leads. We let this one get away too early and too far. Seems like we expected them to roll over because we rolled them pretty well the first time. Oh well, now my expectations for a long tournament run have been tempered.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
Even after the past four games, the lack of hustle is shocking.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
comeback starts now
February 16th, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
is, to be nice about it, not a very good player. He's crazy undersized to guard Wisconsin's center, but he has apparently given up on offense. He should've gone pro last year-- the Flint Tropics would have loved to get him.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
RGIII is a beast. The Redskins just suck.
/s
February 16th, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
my bad. RGIII would probably be a better college basketball PF than GRIII at this point.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
Wisconsin looks nothing like they did a month ago - we aren't getting nearly as many good looks offensively
February 16th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
Well, I think it's pretty obviously that Michigan is going to embarrassly lose this game.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
Yeah you're right. Turn your computer off too while you're at it. There's no point in you being on the open thread either.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
and all will be well. Assuming that is, that coaches cover that whole "defense" thing at the half
February 16th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
But when does some of this blame get put on Beilien and the coaching staff. We continuously come out slow, cannot defend and are almost always either out of position for rebounds or don't crash the boards at all. Honestly, what are they working on during the week? Its the same problems that come up time and time again. That to me speaks more of coaching than player ability.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
The blame for being first in the best conference in basketball? In sure Beilein will take that blame all day long.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:47 PM ^
Michigan has vastly overachieved this year.
Wisconsin was ranked #3 in the country for a reason. This is the game we expected to see at the Kohl Center.
I'm not saying I'm not upset, but Wisconsin is a very good team. A better team on an individual level. Their offensive efficiency stats have been through the roof all year and we have not been a good defensive team all year. This shouldn't be shocking.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
So many stupid turnovers
February 16th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
Owned by Dekker. Again.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
we have a smaller quicker lineup. yet everyone of their guys drives by ours like it's nothing.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
Wisconsin is just hustling more. This is a rout.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
That play by Dekker really shows the difference in effort
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
This game.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
It's been a great year for ruined weekends between football and these last three weeks of basketball
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
Hold on to the dang ball
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
We haven't been the same for almost a month now. I think we peaked too early. Hope they get the killer instinct back in time for March.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
Holy shit they might not break 20
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
Sometimes I feel like our team doesn't talk at all. We get the ball knocked out from behind atleast once per game when all someone has to do is tell the ball handler he has pressure.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
We're panicking. Underneath the covers, we're still a young team.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
I don't want to watch them lose by 15 to Wisconsin at home. I will watch the score and return if it gets within 10. Good day guys! Go Blue.
