Very sloppy dribble drives. Uncharacteristic of Brooks to attack the basket with that much pace, hence the travel
January 19th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
I can't help but think the extreme thin depth will hurt this team at some point. I'm not too high on Davis and Brooks.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
That’s why I hated all those close games against bad competition last month. Guys like Johns and DeJulius couldn’t get into the game and get PT.
Very tough to go though an entire season with a six, maybe seven guys on your rotation.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
Need to make open 3s today, otherwise this will go to the end. Good job on the offensive glass so far.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Is it me or are all of these fouls an extension of make up calls for make up calls?
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Davis is a kid playing his hardest and giving Michigan some good minutes so far.
Yes he gets caught flat footed on D sometimes, but he’s helping chug this offense along and has had some pivotal boards so far.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
We're looking at a classic 50 point matchup with Wisconsin
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Dickich is trash...
January 19th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
“Not sure if anyone in the country is playing better than MSU right now” really? Cuz if Nebraska would have shot >25% from 3 state would have lost. Interesting take
January 19th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
That's not quite how that works
January 19th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
Dang 6 point shot
January 19th, 2019 at 12:21 PM ^
Iggy and Charles are killing us right now
January 19th, 2019 at 12:22 PM ^
Need X and Teske back in.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Absolute brick fest from our O
January 19th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
wtf is up with the score on espn?
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Yea no shit
January 19th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Not hitting it right now.... nevermind
January 19th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Guess no one plans on hitting an open shot today
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
What the fuck is beilein doing with Davis in the game so long?
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Is the scoreboard messed up or am I stroking out?
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
There you go!!!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Teske can play with power or go all delicate on your ass.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Lurch is back in, I mean Teske
January 19th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
ESPN having issues getting the score correct...wow, just basics dudes.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
January 19th, 2019 at 12:33 PM ^
I logged on just to see if anyone was as annoyed as I was about that bullshit taking up half my screen.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
The floor looks slippery
January 19th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Why is X slipping so much?
January 19th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Put some new shoes on x. You’ve slipped 20x already
January 19th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
Why do they do this analyst bullshit during the game??? The announcers are totally ignoring the game action. Do this shit at halftime!!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
The team is rebounding well
January 19th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
Lol at espn just ignoring this game, fuck them
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
At least they are unreasonably draft-negging all of Michigan's players.
Iggy and JP: No need to submit for evaluations just watch this broadcast.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
One fucking ref under our basket is fucking us
January 19th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
PSA reminder track and field on B1G now flip over during timeouts and halftime. men’s mile right now.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
That’s a terrible fn call on iggy. Now he’s on bench for rest of half
January 19th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Also I hate Wisconsin basketball flopping so much. I’m so glad we got away from that shit on defense
January 19th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Well...Iggy's done for this half
January 19th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Weak ass charge call there. If he falls that easily he better not go out when it’s windy
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Nice flop to draw the charge. The defender was still moving when Iggy made contact. I wish games at Crisler were called the same way they are in other B1G venues (where the home team gets every benefit of the doubt).
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Refs best player on Wisconsin’s team right now. Getting a bit ridiculous
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Awesome. Iggy picks up his 2nd on an absurd flop call.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
A little home cooking from the refs
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Outstanding block by Poole while the announcers were busy talking about the NBA draft. Come on guys, pay attention!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Man some crappy snow just got home from the gym a bit ago couldn't even make it up the road to my house had to park & walk. Some slickery snow in metro Detroit
January 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Serious question. Every team always thinks refs against them. WITH THAT SAID, what is it about playing at Wisconsin where officials give them EVERYTHING!! It’s a joke. I hate blaming officials, typically win some lose some, but Wisconsin gets so many calls. Thus, tough to win at their place. Same with IU. Get out of next Friday, undefeated, oh boy! I’ll be giddy.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
17-0 isn't enough for giddy?!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:36 PM ^
Yes but. The 2 Road wins in Big 10 are Illinois and NW right now. This stretch the next week is big. Obviously excited, but a different level if 20-0 leaving IU.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
Get these damn graphics off the screen ESPN. Half the action was covered up for 7 possessions. And announcers not even calling the game...
January 19th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
Very weak call on Iggy...damn
