Nice, great job Maryland.  You’re up Wiscy.  But seriously, fuck all those teams.  Go Blue!

Tonight’s frustrating. Hopefully the team learns and does better. At the end of the day it’s all about March and, maybe, April.

Do think the offense needs to get better although not sure what to do since we’re a below average three point shooting team.

Have to not get too down or up, just a game at the end of the day.

This loss kills any shot to win big ten ! Teske no effort at all on blocking shots ! Guards shooting over him and he wouldnt Even jump ! Poole is becoming a very poor shooter as well . You watch , we will lose 2 more and be a 4 in the Midwest . This loss just killed us . Iggy 3-4 from the floor but couldn’t stay on the floor yet again

We should started giving the ball to Mathews way more the last 5 minutes of the game letting him try to take over .  Iggy is on the opposite trajectory Wagner was at this time last year

Belein should say “our three losses were all officiated by the same crew. I sense a pattern. I got thrown out because he misse an obvious moving screen where our guy got clocked. That doesn’t even mention the worlds most obvious double dribble later on. Such poor officiating shouldn’t be allowed at this level.”

then take his fine and go home.

That's what we do - have you read this thread?  No one else gets screwed, just us. Meanwhile sharty shit the bed against Indiana at home AND Illinois on the road so all is not lost.

Stevens was awful tonight.  Sure, he got 26 points -- on 23 shots plus 13 free throws.  He also got called for no personal fouls, which is ludicrous because I'm not sure any of his blocks were clean.  He did pick up 12 rebounds, although several of them were of the right place, right time variety.

Michigan didn't lose this game because of Stevens' "beast"-like play.  If you want to credit anybody other than the referees, it should be Myles Dread.  5/8 from 3 (but somehow 2/4 from the line).

That game was weird, man. Our coach gets tossed (deserves the 1st not the second tech) because a kid gets elbowed in the head and got no call. Blatant missed double dribble. I turned it off with about 3 to go. Hate getting that angry over a game but shit

You ever notice people that say yeah but, the refs?  Exactly one or two possessions or one less technical ain’t that bad?  But you mean to tell me as a real person you cannot see how that affects the game?  Yeah ok.  The refs did a wonderful job and they should be commended that’s what a decent Michigan fan with a set of eyes should say after this game.  Lol, denial is a disease.

As someone who lived in (and escaped) Pennsyltucky, I loathe that backwards child molesting/enabling school. Worse fanbase than Ohio State, and 10x as redneck.

 

The only thing worse than their fans, however, is the fact that they only have 1 chant...and its non-stop

As noted for a few games, we are going to get every team's best shot from here on out.  Have to be ready to play every night.   We had a bad night, at least a bad first half and PSU was ready, and super aggressive, combined with some rough officiating.  Hopefully the team learned something and will be sharp the rest of the year.  The two T's on JB at the half were terrible though.  At least Michigan did not quit in 2nd half.

What an overall pathetic performance. Glad they never quit, but that was baaaaaad. Sloppy turnovers. Allowed 13 offensive rebounds. No composure. 6 TOs by Simpson himself.

With road games still against Minnesota, Maryland, and State, with two games at home against those latter two teams, turning in this performance to a team that’s 1-11 is just unreal. 

Considering how they’ve been playing and who they still have to play, I don’t see how they even win a share of the B1G. Worst loss in the B1G this year. Just embarrassing.
