Man, the 2 Michigan schools are headed on a collision course - gonna be some epic games.
I like our chances, and will take our guys and our coach anytime!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
They will be great games to prepare for March.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
Damn is it nice having a big man in the paint, even better when he can drop bombs from outside the arc.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
oh boy, if Teske is able to hit those 3s and outside shots consistently, look out
January 13th, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
Teske hitting threes makes Michigan almost unbeatable.
Someone earlier compared him to Pittsnoggle, but Teske is a FAR better defensive player and much more intimidating inside force - Pittsnoggle was a really good sniper, but just ok inside. Teske has become a dominating presence inside, and he seems to be continuing to improve.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
What a ruthlessly efficient first half!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
Random thought. Iggy looks like a younger William Forsythe.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
LOL, no one to inbound to!
January 13th, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
We have to go to commercial already just because NW can’t inbound the ball?
January 13th, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
Wow, awful by NW. What the hell were they talking about at halftime?
Didn't guard anyone, and didn't figure out offensive positioning. Sheesh.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
NW only with 1 TO left with almost the entire 2nd half left to play.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
collins would be smart not to lose his shit. easy to do in a game like this. save it for the film session.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
Sorry if this has been addressed before but what are the black things sticking out underneath the nameplates of some of the jerseys?
January 13th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
Nice euro step
January 13th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
Hope they keep up pressure; would like to see the bench guys get some run
January 13th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
Offense looking rough. It would be nice to get CM, Iggy, and Poole going.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
so get everyone else going. Sounds like a good plan
January 13th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
Wow, tough take by Pardon. That guy is pretty tough
January 13th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Love how this team demolished NW last 6 minutes of first half. Stay hungry my friends.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
This is a perfect game to see why guard play is so important to any basketball team.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
Would be nice if Michigan could keep NW far enough away over the next 8 minutes or so for players like Johns and DeJulius to be able to get extended minutes. Offense will have to get going for that to happen, though.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
5 FTs combined in this game. that is ridiculously low.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
Much better to have that than a bunch of ticky-tack fouls and good players forced to sit.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
You mean like the ones the stripes have started calling on us to help “manage” the game?
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
NW will be in bonus soon and shooting a lot of free throws to extend this game
January 13th, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
NW getting lucky as hell this possession. I really hope the young guys can get some burn this game.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Vic Law looks like he is 40 years old
January 13th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Well, here's NW's run and our period of missing. Gotta step up the D.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Been outscored 11-4 this half, focus up guys.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Both teams playing good D last couple of possessions.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
double double for Big JON
January 13th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
FWIW, this is the reason why a few teams have jumped Michigan in kenpom. Can't truly put an inferior team like NW away to get a blowout win. Teams like MSU have been burying teams after they get a big lead.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Makes sense.
That said, don’t care what we’re ranked so long as we keep scoring more than the other team.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Yup, great teams bury inferior opponents.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Doesn't bother me in the least. We're consistently winning by comfortable margins - that's plenty good as far as I'm concerned.
Whether we receive a #1 seed will depend on how we fare against the Sparties IMO. Seems inevitable we'll be either a 1 or a 2 unless we have a really bad streak, which sure doesn't seem likely.
January 13th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
MSU has been pretty impressive. They are blowing people out for the most part.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
Well the usual malaise has set in. Hopefully they come alive again soon.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
Ok this is when Northwestern starts to come back.
Time to tighten up the focus even more now.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Only 6 pts in 9 minutes this half.....
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
It's amazing how Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde the offense is. Letting NW get back into the game.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
0-6 from 3 this half
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Just need to get better closing out games.
Had 50 points in the first half. Only have 6 points here almost halfway through the 2nd half.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Very disappointed with the open layups we are giving up . Way too easy .
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Complete shit second half. A good team would be right back in this game.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
What offense are we running? Dribble dribble take a bad shot? No movement at all.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
6 points in the first nine minutes of the half? They're as cold in this half as they were hot in the first half. Big leads are generally a problem in all sports, and at all levels. Something about being up big ofttimes causes a lessening of intensity. They just need to run some solid offensive sets and get back in a rhythm.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
M is one foul away from putting the Cats in bonus. It’s really the refs putting the Cats one away but I digress.
A lot of iffy calls going against a team that doesn’t foul
January 13th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Fuck you Miller Kopp
January 13th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Lead down to 13 as NW has outscored Michigan 15-6 in the 2nd half. C'mon.
Edit: Needed that. Keep it up.
January 13th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
Great attack by Matthews! Time for he and Iggy to step up.
NW doesn't seem able to stop us when we attack the rim
