If members of this board didn't have hot takes like this, there would be literally no brain function in most of them.
It's a blessing, really.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
Uhh yeah dude, I do realize that. This team has started to bleed a bit. They have 6 guys, that's it. They clearly know they cant get in foul trouble and its affecting their play. Losing like this @PSU makes me very skeptical they can close 5-1 with games @Minn, Mary, and MSU left. This game is literally huge.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
Lol, why the negs cupcakes? Point to where it's wrong. I dont think this team is bad by any stretch, but I do also think this game just cost us a conference title. 5-1 to close isnt something we should expect this team to do.
I hope I'm wrong, I want that regular season banner!
February 12th, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
It's the grind of the schedule. Conference road games are difficult, no matter who the opponent is. The team will get right in time for the B1G tourney and NCAA tourney. 22-3 is not a fluke.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
I like it. Maybe not sticking around for the second but lighting a fire in a blowout is what you’re supposed to do.
You guys love to kill Izzo for screaming at calls (yes he does it a lot more lol) — but I applaud JB for going after it.
Looks like a tie in the league and that’ll make the M / MSU games even more special. Still expect a home and home split.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
With Michigan's road woes, games @Minn and @Mary dont look good.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
Kenpom has M at 15-5 to start the season. Could still salvage that but might be 14-6 with 3 more road losses.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
Well certainly was something. Not sure I've seen him so riled up before! Hopefully the team rallies in the 2nd half and can pull this one out.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
What a bunch of fucking bull shit. Simpson got railed. Fuck these refs, Ohio State 2016 like.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
You're still hung up on a football game from 2016?
February 13th, 2019 at 1:00 PM ^
Guy creates an account on a random opposing fan blog after his team gets their second conference win, and you want to act like Michigan fans are the wierd ones?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Yeah, kid went WAY high on the screen on Simpson. That was a dangerous play and our captain could have been hurt. Coach Beilein was justified in his outrage! Yes he got tossed, but we've been getting the short end of the stick from the refs all year, and that play was an egregious missed call by the zebras.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Complete officiating incompetence. There is NO way a double technical on Beilein was justified.
And Beilein was right, that was an illegal moving screen.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Teske not even giving any effort tonight ! Embarrassing
February 12th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
You're embarrassing. Frigg off
February 12th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
"Go ahead...toss my salad!"
February 12th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
If you toss Beilein you should be fired at halftime and replaced. Seriously though Michigan is getting physically mauled when Brooks or Z split defenders they are getting almost spun around. And then Iggy gets called for passing by a shooter too passively I guess? If Michigan maintains their one seed claim they will have earned it by consistently beating teams and officiating. It’s so inconsistent this year.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
This is a genius move by Beilein. We are completely out of it. No effort, disengaged, slow, going through the motions. He knows they are not going to win this game with his complicated offensive basketball. They can only win through an attitude change, and he's hoping getting tossed will spark something. He can draw up all the great plays he wants, if the players aren't playing hard then it doesn't matter.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Izzo bitches away all game long, every game over such small and irrelevant shit. I've never seen him get tossed. Belein immediately gets tossed for reasonable anger. 1 technical should've been assessed. not 2
February 13th, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
Don't underestimate human frailty here... Beilien is imposing and a big dude and can be scary when pissed.... meanwhile, Izzo is a runt, and its comical when he rants..... how the refs aren't cracking up at the midget is beyond me...
February 12th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
I mean, sure, we look like shit, but this officiating is complete trash. I hope this fires the team up.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
So they can keep getting called for looking at PSU players the wrong way?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
Weak sauce, refs. Weak
February 12th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
Lewis Garrison is the new Ed Hightower. He's a shit official who has no business officiating any of our games. There is nothing like a hundred percent correlation that he is a referee in our previous two and perhaps all three losses. That is if we lose tonight. I think John B knows this and decided to do something about it. Now he has something to talk about to the Big Ten office.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
Any chance refs still review the elbow on Simpson and call a flagrant 2 as makeup call? Nah.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
It's a Big Ten road game, we can't hit a jumper or get anything to roll in at the rim. It's just a throwaway game. Beilein teams have at least one every year. I had a feeling we were really in trouble when we showed a zone -- shows how far out of our normal game we are.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
BTN won’t call out the officials for a bad missed call and thin fucking skin. I don’t care for Dakich, but at least he would’ve called that one for what it was.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Is there anywhere to watch the technicals being called and the play leading up to the technicals?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Have to play better
Refs need to be help accountable. Fucking shitshow performance.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Haiku?
February 12th, 2019 at 11:34 PM ^
5-9-7?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Four shots? Wtf?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
So John O’Neil is refereeing basketball now?
February 12th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
This jerk is his basketball equivalent.
He's not just incompetent, though, he clearly hates Michigan and seems to take things way too personally to be a ref. Thanks Delaney.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:02 PM ^
Are you actually blaming the B1G commissioner for Michigan getting taken to the woodshed? lol you sound stable
February 12th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Watching that replay back from halftime looked like Beilein was done then the official hit Saddi Washington hard on the arm calling the first tech and he got mad all over again and got the second tech.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Exactly. Ref hacked his arm down hard.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
February 12th, 2019 at 10:06 PM ^
Beilein getting tossed is certainly worthy of its own thread.
February 13th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
Considering we all saw the event, it is not worth it.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
What a shit-tastic night for Michigan sports.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
Like I said in the Wisconsin recap thread-once Michigan is free of the utter and total bias and incompetence of the B1G officiating crews we thrive.
Funny how that works Delaney. No officials for you to "request" Michigan losses from and we do nothing but win
Fuck the B1G. FUCK Delaney
February 12th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Are you fucking kidding me? lol JFC grow a pair and take the L. Has Michigan ever actually lost a game or is it always the officials or some conspiracy theory? So tired of this fucking excuse for every poor performance
February 12th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^

February 12th, 2019 at 10:11 PM ^
Michigan is 22-0 when we dont have this crew officiating
0-2 when they do and down big in this one. And they just tossed the mildest HC in college basketball
But I'm sure you think that's just a wacky coincidence.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
And you're not a terribly clever liar, BIGfootball2111. You are not tired of anything, you are from another fan base and created your account NOW to troll.
February 13th, 2019 at 2:45 AM ^
probably another maizen account.
February 13th, 2019 at 1:19 PM ^
I totally agree. Is there a way to get in touch with the BIG10 as a fan/alum? I was going to the BIG10 tournament but I’m canceling now. I can’t take it! Does anyone know how I can contact the BIG10 offices? I know it won’t matter already.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
Beilein will be signing autographs @ Lakeside too now.
"Fuck John O'Neill,
John Beilein."
February 12th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Glad to see coach show some fire. The team wasn't playing well and the refs are calling a brutal game. Are we sure that's not Tim Donaghy reffing?
