Spoke too soon...
January 6th, 2019 at 5:09 PM ^
Shooting is going to fall off at some point and I imagine Indiana will make a run. Have to handle that well.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
Indiana isn't even shooting poorly, I hope we can keep the lead big so we can weather the Indiana run and our scoring coming back down to the mean.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
I feel that run coming up here a bit.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
Put JP back in. Why did he get benched? He didn't look tired.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
"Illustrious history"
"Blueblood program"
Okay, we're a basketball school to the media now, too.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
He's not wrong.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Poole now on a different level. Nice.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Man oh man Indiana making tough shots...if not they'd be down 20+
January 6th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Damn, Simpson almost never misses that
January 6th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Indiana poked the ball on the dribble and messed up his rhythm.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:14 PM ^
I think the last 6 fouls have all been called on Michigan.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Last IU foul was at 16:01, it was Langford's second.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
Maintain the lead and build on it boys, I like enjoyable games.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Well, enjoyable for us
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Keep the intensity up. We need to keep this lead in the 14-16 point range at the half.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
They’ve called some shit fouls on us too. About my only complain this half
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Without Livers and Iggy with 2, gotta get creative in Minutes and guys on the floor. This is the challenge with such little depth.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Are we in foul trouble?
January 6th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
Up to the challenge. John's looks like he's been paying attention while watching; Brooks is full of energy on both ends.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
January 6th, 2019 at 5:17 PM ^
Livers' injury stretches the bench and shows that Johns can be trusted before the game is decided. Everything is coming up spades for Michigan basketball.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
rebounding and running hard is johns expectations. Need Livers. Playmaker.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:19 PM ^
Yay, made FTs!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
Finish the half strong, boys!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Wish we would have gotten one of their two stars a third foul...
January 6th, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
It's been mentioned but these refs are ass
January 6th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
I'd like to see Teske grab more rebounds instead of trying the tip put back.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Yea that dunk off Brooks miss should've been rebounded and brought back out instead!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
Not a bad half.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
Big Sleep looking tired.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Great half. Indy playing ok, Michigan just better
January 6th, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
IU is 42% from the field but down by 15. Turnover and second chance points being keys
January 6th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
January 6th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Terrific first half. Well done.
Keep it up and finish the Hoosiers!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Very good half against a good team.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:27 PM ^
I’ve never seen a PG that can’t shoot dominate a game in the half court like Simpson does. That is so impressive.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Jason Kidd. Greatest college hoops performance I've seen live was he and his Cal Bears beating the Grant Hill/Ratboy/Wojo Dukies.
He couldn't shoot a lick until late in his pro career, but man, could he play.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:27 PM ^
With Indiana doing better on offense to close the half, it was important for Michigan's offense to do the same to keep the lead around 15. They're a good start to the second half away from putting this game away.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Coach B engineering a very fun season.
On pace to score 88 while holding Indiana to 29 in the first half.
Beilein knows how to coach a complete team.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
I like the backhanded dig at Jim there
January 6th, 2019 at 5:35 PM ^
Moreso an ode to Beilein for identifying a weak point on the team (defense) and taking immediate actions to rectify the situation.
But if the shoe fits?
January 6th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Gotta start strong in the second half because Indiana will try to go on a run. Get the lead up to 20+ and effectively end it early
January 6th, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
Thanks Einstein.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Time for Iggy to start slashing this half
January 6th, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
Free Throws Free Throws Free Throws!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:32 PM ^
When the team plays like this, the ceiling is the roof. Matthews and Poole were on a-whole-nother level in that half. And this is all without Livers and Iggy sitting much of the half. If Livers can get healthy, Johns can continue to improve, and the offense can be a little more consistent in games they're not shooting the lights out, they'll have the opportunity to do quite a bit this season.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:40 PM ^
Look, I know the joke about being a bball school now, but of course we're really still a football school.
Therefore I find it very disrespectful of coach B & the team to show up coach Harbaugh like this by blatantly defying the Harbaugh Michigan Man way and having the NERVE to repeatedly come into a big spotlight game and bring a sharp, well prepared, focused, motivated team that hustles, stands up for themselves, fights back and kicks fucking ass!
I sure as fuck to hell hope he's spending this halftime on the hotline apologizing to Jimmy!
January 6th, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
Nice stat: IU only 5 TOs, but led to 11 pts for U-M.
