Minnesota at Michigan Hoops Thread
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
The arc continues to be unkind to Michigan. Plenty of looks tonight, but a 1-for-10 start on 3s.
— Brendan F. Quinn (@BFQuinn) January 23, 2019
Michigan is now 31-for-104 in the six Big Ten games since the calendar turned to 2019.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
Glad that half is done ?
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
Poole is 6-27 (22%) from 3 since the Penn State game.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
ya, he's taken a few bad shots, but most of those are good looks. he has to knock those open 3s at a greater than 40% clip. he needs to be the one constant from 3. but he has not been good recently.
add that matthews and iggy have been terrible; not good when your top 3 O players are in a major funk.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
What a shit half, we're losing to Minny at home, unbelievable. Weird that the team is getting slightly worse it seems instead of getting better.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
Inverse reality??
Beilein teams typically start slow and finish strong.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
We took ten more shots than them and scored three less points. Jesus christ.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
I don't like all the elbow swinging I've seen. This game hasn't been called the same on both ends - they're lucky to only have 7 fouls.
And Brooks better be careful with his inbounds. It looks like he's not fully OOB, which would be a turnover.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:49 PM ^
That's the only way they can win and they might as well do it because Michigan does not get home cooking from the refs
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Think we got a break on that last 3 point attempt by Minnesota- looked like the dude got assaulted with the intent to do great bodily harm
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
Brooks has botched the inbounds twice now. Luckily it hasn't been called, but that would be a really stupid way to lose a possession.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Dude hits his first three of the year against us of course. Minny I think that said is last in the league in 3% but tonight of course they are Steph Curry. Why is it Michigan that somehow gets everyone's perfect game?
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Everyone but the refs. /rimshot
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
Dude hit ONE 3-pointer and it's a "perfect game". Steph Curry even.
What's next? "We've got the worst defense in the history of the B1G!" ?
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
I'm being overly dramatic about the fact that the dude had never hit a three and they are a horrible three shooting team except for tonight. I'm not bagging on Michigan, rather our luck.
January 23rd, 2019 at 7:05 AM ^
Fair.
+1
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
Teske has 11 points on 5 shot equivalents. Bless his heart.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
they’re just flat on offense. Not a lot of usual beilein movement or plays. Just a lot of trying everyone with the pick and roll until someone gets a half decent shot or someone gets left open somewhere else. Reminds me of the second half of the ND game in the tourney a few years ago and the whole game against the badgers this weekend.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Simpson doesn't shoot, Iggy is in a huge slump and is aiming his shot...if Poole isn't hitting (he isn't) then our offense is bunk.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
Simpson has been shooting....and missing.
Shots look good though.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:49 PM ^
The sorry ass excuses for this team are over. This Minnesota team is not good, we are at home, and losing at half. Every layup besides Teske is an adventure, every 3 is almost guaranteed a brick. The best team in the conference is taking care of every team they face early and burying them. If we were elite we would be doing that too. Not letting Minnesota hang around (or winning at half). Gotta figure it out fast.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Beilein's insistence on playing Eli Brooks and Austin Davis instead of developing his more talented freshman is biting this team in the ass. They get NOTHING from the bench outside of Livers. Wear and tear taking a toll on the starters and appears a wall has been hit.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^

January 22nd, 2019 at 7:49 PM ^
Iggy is aiming his shot real bad...
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
Teske is awesome
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Michigan is in a classic team shooting slump. That's it. It's not the defense. We just stopped being able to hit outside shots. They have to work their way out of it. Or struggle games like this will continue.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Our backup PG has a worse 3 PT shooting % than Zavier Simpson. Let that sink in. We are shooting less than 30% from beyond the arc in the last 6 B1G games. It's not a slump it's who we are.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
DeJulius must be real far behind in understanding the offense because I have to imagine he brings more to the table talent wise than Brooks
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
It just a little annoying because MSU is out here blowing out everyone and we're losing to Minny at home. I don't understand why we are shooting so poorly, Iggy CM and Poole have been terrible.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:55 PM ^
At this point just win..I don’t care if it’s by 1 in overtime. Just win.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
Let's Go Blue! Hit some shots, plz.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
Don't worry. Beilein and Co. are playing the Urbz game of "We're bored against bottom feeders" and will beat Izzo / MSU by 30.
January 22nd, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
MGOBLOG, come for the community. Stay for the group therapy meltdown.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
The missed bunnies around the rim (save for Teske), our top 3 scorers shooting 5/19, no bench (save for Livers)...are simply killing this team.
Watching this team trying to score is causing me lots of anxiety.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
Flagrant!
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
You'd think that could be a flagrant 1 without the review. Everyone and their mother saw the play. Why the need to huddle in front of a monitor?
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Why is this review taking so long? That was one of the most flagrant fouls I've ever seen.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Maybe Livers will step it up
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
OMG, he missed!
1 of 2 FTs.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Playing tight.
Let's RUN
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Finally a swinging arm gets its proper reward.
And my goodness we can't hit water falling out of a boat right now.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Murphy was grabbing Iggy the whole time, arm wrapped around him.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Why is Murphy allowed to hold Iggy...left arm clearly wrapped around his side before the blocked shot
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
JP has become a turnover machine
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
Nice. We got a flagrant 1, which is a chance for 4-5 points. We got 1.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
We're getting outshot from 3 from an absolutely terrible shooting team, crazy. This half has started off as terrible as the last.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
And McBrayer gets a 3.
Fuck, Matthews gets 3rd foul.
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
WTF is wrong with this team!?!?!?!
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
Wtf did they just call...some moving screen bullshit?
January 22nd, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
We are going to lose this game.
