Open Thread: Michigan vs State
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:09 PM ^
Caris turned it up the past 10 minutes and is pretty much the reason we are only down 2 at half.
He can make some frustrating plays, I agree, but the shit he gets isn't warranted and it's showing I think.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
You know; some of us come here to actually ROOT for our team instead of rip on them and constantly talk about how much they suck. Sounds like you need a new hobby.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
are you here? Step one, find a hole, step two, put your head in it and talk into the ground. It'll make this a thread for people who actually want to root for michigan.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
Yeah because the last 6-7 games didn't happen. Nik had a good stretch in January, now it's Caris' turn.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
5/10, 14 points, 3 assists, 1 steal, 0 TO. And you're complaining about people who are excited about this. This board sometimes....
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:03 PM ^
Entertaining game so far. Hope the 4-8 on the FT will improve in the 2nd half, considering this game is likely going to be close at the end (yes, preparing for a heart-attack inducing foul-game at the end).
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:04 PM ^
biggest 2nd half of Beilein's tenure so far. A win could gives a ton of program momentum with a big ten championship.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:05 PM ^
You don't think the 2nd half of the national championship game was a bigger half?
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
biggest half of the year thus far. we need this for the program, which was his point; despite the exaggeration.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:08 PM ^
It's a big game against a big rival, but let's not let hyperbole get us carried away too much
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:04 PM ^
need him to step up in the 2H like he did in EL. he seems to be playing tentative out there. he and/or stauskus need to help caris out.
and grab some rebounds GR3!!!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:07 PM ^
wouldn't mind seeing him knock down a few 3s in the 2H either.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:07 PM ^
Irvin has been a liability this game, hopefully coach B calms him down so he can get back to sniping 3's that are actually open shots.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:09 PM ^
It's going to come down to free throws, free throws, and free throws. I'm having 2013 vs. IU flashbacks with GRIII missing all his free throws
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:11 PM ^
Some of you folks on this board are really poor excuses for fans. Do you even LIKE Michigan Basketball; or are you so frusterated in your own life that you must point out how terrible other (far more succesful and athletic) people are? Honest question.
Root for the team. Be positive. Or maybe go outside and turn the TV off for a while.

HAHAHAHAHA
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:12 PM ^
i would like to see us foul harder around the rim instead of the easy and 1s
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:12 PM ^
They are slappin' floors so we score, obviously.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:12 PM ^
He hung on the rim!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
TTTTTTT
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:14 PM ^
Payne is a really good basketball player. Can't leave the lane open for him.
Ed: Well, if he doesn't hang on the rim. Heh, heh.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
HAHA Payne is a dambass!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
and GR3 with no help. GR3 should be in the middle of the paint there. why worry about costello 8 ft from the basket.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
we score as per usual
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:14 PM ^
the lead!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
i guess not. holy shit!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
no call there buddy
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
How is that a blocking foul???
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
That was NOT and I repeat NOT a blocking foul.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Okay that was horseshit
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Apparently you can't play defense? I mean, seriously? If the offensive player drives into your body it's not a foul. (Or it shouldn't be, in my opinion).
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Blowing some chances here.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
has fouled up at least 3 fast breaks. horrible pass. should have been a dunk.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
weak effort on d
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
GR3 needs to recognize that he is not a 3-pt shooter.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
I keep waiting for you to come up with an original comment. Guess I'll keep waiting.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
Wonderful court vision by Stauskas
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
ow!!!!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
Yikes, horrible transition D.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
stopped at the free throw line and allowed the easy pass.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
wake up!!!!
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
Guys need to SPRINT back on defense. Holy shit
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
I thought there was a "D" in Canada.
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
canna-D-a
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
February 23rd, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
