Michigan vs Purdue MBB Open Thread

I'm glad to see that Dakich stayed pro-Michigan even though his son is out of the picture.

Before his kid came the Michigan, he was a bit of a dick to us,

Teske 3!!!!

WOOOO TESKE from deep

Dakich really likes Beilein, and genuinely seems to admire Michigan's style of play. 

Hard not to.

Edwards is really good. Damn.

i like this version of poole.  came out slow this year.

Defense needs to step up. Offense is great. 

One does not drive the lane on Jon Teske

Edwards is really good, but he can't beat an entire, finely tuned team on his own.

We look unstoppable!

NoGel--what kind of product does he use?

In a little bit of “anything you can do, I can do better,” Purdue scores 12 points on its first six second half possessions.. and Michigan actually extends the lead by two.

Carsen Edwards is playing much better so far in the second half.  Michigan will need to pick up the defense again to close this game out, since I assume Purdue will eventually play defense themselves. :)

We are so much better at basketball than football it isn’t even funny

Purdue is down 16 at the half. 

They come out in the second half shooting lights out. 

And now they are down 18.

It looks like Poole is having that breakout year after all.

I'm catching as many games as I can this year because something tells me Michigan is ending up with two open scholarships.

Simpson is uncanny around the basket. Those long arms seem to stretch forever

It's all Edwards for Purdue.

not just layups.  i can't fathom how much work simpson has put in to make those full-arm extension layups look so easy like he does.  he is become unguardable inside-out; instead of outside-in, like most PGs.  incredible.

Teske's gonna grab 20 boards - love it!

Getting sloppy.  Still too much time left for that.

Come on. That’s 3 turnovers in a row. Let’s push the lead to 25.

Sloppy play...but typical after such a big game. Love if they can win ugly...lots to improve upon and coach up but still a W 

This has not been ugly. They've shot the ball really well, and the high 3pt% easily offsets a few missed bunnies.

This has been a really strong performance, again.

Every game we go through a 5 to 7 minute drought. We are in ours now. Need a basket here.

Did Dakich just try to give Andrew credit for X being good? 

Good to see liver attacking off dribble

if he adds that consistently he can be very dangerous 

Hope we didn’t use all our energy early. Need to finish strong.

Quit shooting livers. Today is not your day. 

Agree - not playing with the same energy. Hopefully the timeout will help.

No baskets in 7 minutes and yet Purdue can't gain more than 5 points out of it.  Defense is a good thing.

We look a little tired.  Needed that time out.

Come on. Losing our concentration. Need to finish strong. We are letting them back in the game. Somebody please make a shot.

Michigan has held all opponents to 68 or less. So I guess first one to 69 wins?

There have been multiple times in this game when Michigan had the opportunity to end it and the offense has responded by just shutting down. When they had a 20-point lead and Purdue couldn't do anything offensively, if Michigan could have just made a couple of buckets, the game would have been done. Instead, they go 6+ minutes without a field goal and Purdue now has an opportunity to make this a game again. 

Edit: Thank you, Teske.

Need a bucket here. Bad.

Hate these dry spells
