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

He probably didn’t want to watch the 2nd half.  Can you blame him after that 1st half?  Michigan got completely out-worked by a team that has nothing to play for.  Yet, for some reason, they want to win more than Michigan does.

people still wanna be fanboys and think this won't happen during march madness against a 14 seed? this offense will kill them in a game they have no business losing like today

When's Michigan going to play a 14 seed?  In the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8?

Luckily, the committee tends to look past one half of one road game when they make their seeding decisions.

Also, Penn State isn't McNeese State.  Their record isn't great, but they're not a terrible team.  This is a Q1 game.

We always have a terrible terrible loss during this part of the year. I think we can come back and win but this could be one of those games.

How many layups can you miss Simpson. We have to lead the nation in missed lay ups. You can all go to bed this game is over. Expect an early exit in the tournaments. With our shooting we are not going far.

These are the exact same refs from the Iowa and Wisconsin game that we lost, what a surprise they fucking suck and gave John two weak ass techs.

Michigan should he embarassed they're getting punked by penn state.

But seriously you're going to toss Beilein there and effectively end the game at halftime?

This offense is a disgrace. We did better with offense first players like Wagner, Wilson, stauskas, levert, burke, etc. 

Teske is a really poor defender for his size. He goes into the shooter every time instead of staying back and blocking it. Morgan on IU just let Jon get into him then got low and went around for an easy layup. 

Our entire offense is take one or two steps inside the arc and it you don’t beat your guy just pass it over and let your teammate try it. It’s hard to watch. I can’t believe this is how bad a tenure beilein team is on that end.

This team is missing that playmaker who will get buckets and take a game over when the rest of the team can't get it going (Burke, Stauskas, LeVert, Walton Jr, Wagner). We all thought Poole would become that player but man were we wrong.

Halftime Hot Take:

2018 v 2019

Starters: 

Simpson < Simpson

MAAR > Poole

Matthews = Matthews

Duncan < Iggy

Moe > Teske

Bench:

Simmons > Brooks

Poole> Brooks

Livers/Teske > Johns/Livers

(Lack of) Depth will be the death of this team

Actually, you can -- McGary did it on Trey Burke's three.

The difference is, McGary stopped and set a screen.  (Well -- mostly.  If I were a Kansas fan, I'd probably think it was an offensive foul.  But it was borderline, not egregious like this one).  This guy just kept running.
