Air Force vs MBB Open Thread

6 fouls before the 12 minute mark....uh huh

Matthews having an awesome game. I think Michigan should reduce his usage.

Good Lord, what do we have to do to get competent officiating in the Big Ten?

So far in the second half, I've counted two obvious missed calls against Michigan -- Iggy traveled and didn't get called, and there was absolutely a loose-ball foul on him on the way to his dunk.

And I've counted *six* on Air Force -- four (!) missed travels and two missed push-offs.  How is this possible?

We can't seem to blow any of these not good teams out.

Put in Johns.

I wish the freshmen could get in a little bit.

Matthews has made a small habit of walking with the ball.

We're comfortably ahead. It's a mid-december snooze-fest, with big gaps between games. No surprise that Michigan is sluggish. 

Michigan is undefeated, and is cruising (admittedly on cruise-control) this game. It's fine.

Two really good things about this game so far - Brooks came in and jump-started the offense, and Livers is making a solid offensive contribution. Those are big positives IMO. We need them both to contribute.

Mathews is a much better free throw shooter. That’s huge.

Also Iggy doing very well this game so that’s nice to see

I always feel like we don’t blow out these teams for no reason and then at the end we break away to a comfortable but not outstanding win.

Looking much better now. 

FS1 was saying we're having major trouble with Air Force, while showing highlights of us up 11 at least.

Team is fucking fun to watch man.

Now that's the side of an alley-oop you want Z on.

That oop was HOT 

Damn not bad from Castleton!

Call me crazy but I think with some additional weight/muscle Castleton will become a legit center. He seems to have the desire and IQ already.

The BTN is a blessing for games like this.  Back in the day, you would not get a hint of a game like this unless you could get local radio.

12-0! I'll gladly take it!!

Michigan basketball is like golf. Play pebble beach and you’re excited and play the game of your life. Come home to the local Par72 public and your in the sand and rough all day while testing your new driver. They are playing to get better and playing against themselves at times.

Meh... that last Baird 3 goes and Michigan hits the spread.  Whatever. It's getting annoying, but I'm not worried.  They'll be fine.
