WMU really forcing it in to their 7 footer, Dugan.
POOLE!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how well Teske holds up against someone his own size. Dugan's had to work pretty hard for his looks so far.
The offense looks a little out-of-sorts so far.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
Thanks for starting the game thread.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Teske with the early foul -- Austin Davis in.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
Ugly start. Drives to the basket have been lackadaisical. Offense out of sorts.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
just has the feeling of a flat game.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:16 PM ^
Seems we sometimes do that in the first half. Week off?
December 15th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
I'd like to say that shouldn't matter but it does. Could be similar to the OSU-Bucknell game but hopefully not that close.
December 15th, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
Yeah. Hate to say it, but I've been feeling all week we're ripe for an upset. Too long between games, + sense of complacency / lazy 'we got this', + unranked oppo...
...I sure hope we pull through, and the close call lights the fires back up...
Go Blue!!!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
That WMU center is a beast. Interesting matchup.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Sloooooow start for both teams. And *wonderful* FT shooting on display for our guys early on. Heh. Why is that ALWAYS an issue?
December 15th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Apparently it's going to be another game of referee incompetence.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Rough start. Still will probably win by 20.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Great pass by Z!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Great pass by Z!
Not a double post. :)
2 great passes.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
They’ll settle down. They can beat WMU on individual talent alone.
Good to see Davis getting involved and making plays.
This team will be alright.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Western is hot with the 3-ball so far. C'mon, guys. Let's get it going.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Good minutes for Davis! Good hands and good D!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
I could go the rest of my life without seeing another opponent hit an off-balance, contested three while falling away from the basket.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Davis' defense is looking improved
December 15th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
BTW, Kansas 74, Villanova 71. It would have been nice for Nova to get back in the win column, but at least they beat the KenPom spread...
December 15th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Austin Davis looking the best I have seen him on both sides of the ball thus far. Western Michigan is not going to make these nonsense heavily contested threes much longer.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
How is that a tough call? Clearly Livers was fouled.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
I love how BTN takes the side of calls against michigan's OOC opponents.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Live stream anymore? Much appreciated!

Forgot to mention that I do not live un the US, but thanks anyways!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
Lazy effort today. Better wake up!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
Missing so many open looks.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
Livers will get some minutes today. That's for sure. Johns might too, which would be a good thing.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
Laying lots of bricks today. Can't even make layups and wide open 3s
December 15th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
it looks like there's a lid on the rim.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
Wow this is quite hard to watch
December 15th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Hahahahaha
Missing all those bunnies so Matthews shoots the 3!
December 15th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
CM staying aggressive which is good, but sheesh missing a lot at the rim.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Michigan now up to #2 on KenPom. Here's hoping they start hitting some buckets, so as to stay there. :)
December 15th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
December 15th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
We don’t look like a top 20 team
Edit: We don’t look like a top 30 team.
What a weak effort.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:46 PM ^
Cant do anything right
December 15th, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
We are getting lots of good looks and continue to play great defense. This type of effort and this type of talent is going to lead to a solid halftime lead. We are getting better looks from better players, and the cream rises to the top in this type of game.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
Lazy hotdog pass.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
Very poor effort which I kind of expected. They have no energy. They think Western will be intimidated and fold but thats the wrong approach. Lots of teaching points for Beilein today
December 15th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
We really
need to stop sucking against sucky teams.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
The defense has really picked things up over the past 8 minutes or so. Dugan's having a hard time touching the ball at all, and when he does, he's having to pass it back out. Three of those minutes have been with Teske on the bench, too.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
Of course, just as I say that, they give up 7 points on three trips. :(
December 15th, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
Hit an open fucking shot, we haven't had a lead this whole half.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
Iggy is wayyyyy off. Like Zak Irvin off. The honeymoon phase is over. Need to execute and perform against teams game planning against you.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
Seriously, why do you even post? I've never seen you have one positive thing to say about anything.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
What has there been positive to say? We are losing to a middling MAC team at home. I’m not gonna sugar coat it to the people who aren’t watching and following along in the thread.
December 15th, 2018 at 2:46 PM ^
Then don't say anything. Instead, you only show up when there's something to bitch about.
