Michigan Vs. Wofford Open Thread
Michigan Kicks off the 2014 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament with Wofford. The game is on CBS.
GO BLUE!
Maize.
No one for Wofford can guard these guys on the dribble. Keep attacking them.
He picks up so many cheap/phantom fouls. It is comical at this point.
WEBBER!!!
Almost a michigan jersey
Looks better bald
We'll run em' out the gym
Caris' strides are humongous. I can't believe how quick he got from the 3-pt line to the bucket
that turnover was a foul
Even though he missed that lay up he is magic in the open court
Such weak calls...
How about calling a foul a foul.
Refs trying to keep them in the game.
Quick chime in. Three things have been done by Jordan Morgan that have rarely been done.
A dribble drive dunk, a blocked shot, and a jump shot from 15/16 feet.
Fun stuff.
It's about time for the senior. Now or never, am I right?
Well, Yea. I mean, I don't mean to rip on the guy by the above. He is who he is. He's limited in athletic abilites compared to many other bigs, yet he's very much succeeded in that role even under those limitations. That says something about the guy. He isn't a great player, no one will argue that, but he plays hard and plays a very fundamental game down low and that makes up for his lack of overall talent.
We all wish he could be a more dominant or even more typical Big Man but we've had to settle for who he is. That said, we've won quite a few games with him playing that role; that's also hard to argue against.
Stauskas is ON.
That sequence blew
Sloppy, sloppy....
"Hang on sloopy..."
on my local TV station (South Bend) for a test alert of the Emergency Broadcast System.
..." REPEATING, THERE IS NO ACTUAL TORNADO....THIS IS ONLY A TEST"
nice that I missed about 2 minutes of the game.
And run our sets because we're going to get a pick and roll to the basket wide-open every time.
Our passing game is a little off so far. We're doing a pretty decent job defensively, though.
In spite of our lead, our defense looks a bit sub-par...Wofford has had a number of open shots that they've missed. Hopefully we're just shaking off some...uh, rust?
I'm happy with the lead, just a bit surprised at how many shooters we've left open
That's our defense...
Man, I've watched (almost) every game of ours this year (had to work twice!), but I feel like we don't usually leave THAT many shooters wide open. It's starting to stress me out, but survive and advance, I suppose.
Could also just be trying to do too much/jitters, I guess.
This team is bad defensively, that isn't going to drastically change at this point in the season.
I would rather they give up some jumpers than allow the easy drives that have happened frequently this year.
Fair enough, I'm just flusterated.
and expect to win the next game that is for sure.
We're lucky that we're playing Wofford today. Our guys need to calm down and just play.
Amen to that
7th turnover already? Sloppy. We're letting these guys hang around. Need to put the foot in the gas and give them no hope so I can have a relaxed 2nd half.
Not in any kind of danger of losing this game, but this offense has sure been meh. There's no one remotely worrisome as a defender on the other side of the ball. We're missing layups and throwing away some easy passes, getting stripped in the back court... just blah.
Again, not the biggest issue tonight, but this isn't going to get it done beyond this game.
Stauskas has been lights out, but the rest of the guys seem a little rushed.
Levert sees a bunch of small dudes and wants to take it to them. Need to settle down and run our offense
No flow so far . We just have superior athletes. Very sloppy.
This is fucking ugly and we're still up by 11. I hope whatever cobwebs they have in the system are cleared up after this game. This shit will not fly against Texas/Ariz. State.
That's what we really need him to do. (Be inside more)
That's exactly what we need
Keep stroking it
Walton having a real tough time running around with Cochran.
How so? He's been able to contest most of his shots despite having to work around a million screens.
He has been trying to run around and through a million screens. Just noticed he was more than a step behind on a bunch of them. Maybe I only saw the bad ones.
Glenn is feeling it!
Keep doing this for 5.5 more games please
GRIII feeling it.
to build a 15+ lead at half.
This game has been nice an relaxing. Which is nice
