Michigan Basketball v Tarleton State Open Thread

pass the damn ball when 4 guys collapse on you. it means 3 guys are wide open

Thank God for Eli in this land of brick layers.

Much better energy this half so far.

Dickinson needs to stop putting up frustration shots.

Pass it HUnter

FFS GET HOUSTAN OUT OF THE GAME!

Houstan needs to just shoot those. He is making the game more complicated than it needs to be.

perfect example of houstan's struggles. passes up wide open 3, takes one dribble then turns the ball over. shoot the damn ball.

Shoot the damn ball houstan. So much pump fake and halfway drive. The whole team does it.

Oh look. Johns dropped the ball.

C'mon. The energy isn't there. 

Turnover city

This team can't have a good stretch without immediately having an awful one.

The mental lapses this team goes through is both annoying and extremely concerning. 

Why is Brandon Johns even out there? No strength, passive, absolutely horrible 

Case in mother fucking point why Johns and Caleb should not be starters. Their heads aren’t in the games early this season. 

Go with the youngsters and Eli. Johns and Jones should not see the floor. 

What on Earth was that? Johns passed it to Houstan's feet! Get him out of the game!

HD is clearly frustrated this season after getting the chance to play with such a talented group last year and this year being stuck with a bunch of guys that don't hustle, can't shoot, are sloppy with the ball, and don't rebound.

It's actually remarkable that a team with so much talent can do nothing well...not even shoot free throws. Like, there is nothing they do a good job at right now. 

Michigan is going to turn it over 100 times when they play teams like Purdue and Illinois.

Lol how do you fuck that pass up so badly?

After extending the lead to 16, it's about to be single digits again. Once again, this team can't play with a lead. It's one thing to do that against Buffalo, it's another against Tarleston State.

Can Hunter get more than 3” off the floor?

How can Juwan watch Johns make a horrendous pass to Houstan and fall over out of bounds and continue to keep them out there? This is insanity. Lets Tarleton State completely back in the game. 

Time to start a State of Open Threads for the basketball team?

This defense is slow and can't stop fouling. They need a break. There's no identity. The veterans aren't really leading.

wow this is impressively bad

The lack of respect they have for Michigan’s offense is crazy. Literally double teaming on the perimeter every possession. They know no one can do anything about it. 

Officials gonna keep them in it from the line. I have never seen a team i my life get less calls than we do at home 

This team is playing lost.  Johns has been horrible. Time to shake up the line up. 

Howard made a comment after the Arizona loss about players not listening to his coaching that game. I can’t help but wonder if Bufkin may have been behind that comment.

If Eli Brooks goes out for any extended time this year this is a bottom tier Big Ten team. 

That's just unacceptable. Bring down the fucking rebound without giving up an immediate steal and bucket.

Even Brooks can't hit open 3s anymore.

16 TO’s???  LOL.  We have ‘issues’.  

Johns lets the ball bounce right off of his hands on the airball and then immediately fouls a guy. He shouldn't be playing a single second, let alone starting.

This is the most non beilein team ever. They foul, can't shoot, 16 turnovers in 2/3 of a game???
