BBall: UM vs BC
http://www.justin.tv//atlbossplaya2 Michigans D has been porus at best so far. Something just doesnt seem to be right.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:40 PM ^
Still no interior D by Michigan. Getting old.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:42 PM ^
Yep, won't win this one if we keep up this interior D. BC is getting to the rack with ease, and rebounding their misses. Got to see some fixes tonight.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
Wow you're right. What the hell happened, I don't remember it being this bad last year
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:38 PM ^
when you play a zone defense if u can get the ball to the toop of the key it opens up the inside pretty easily. Michigan plays the 1-3-1 to create turnovers but thats not really working and it opens up the inside
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:45 PM ^
[update] BC has scored on their first 9/10 offensive possessions, and that included three offensive rebounds...
BC is also keeping their 3/4 on the low block, and knows that the 1-3-1 will rotate to trap at the other block, and have found that easy pass three times now...
December 2nd, 2009 at 11:01 PM ^
'Bama started doing the same thing against us during their comeback.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
Can't get the rebounds....please let Novak take the shots.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
BC hitting cuts in the paint at will. Might be a long game...damn I was hoping bball season would bring me out of the funk caused by football
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
That graphic showing a vast majority of freshmen and sophomores looks awfully familiar...
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:53 PM ^
Even slower and more unathletic than we thought.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:54 PM ^
Not a huge fan of the "Four White guys and Ant Wright" lineup. Call me crazy.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:00 PM ^
...that in this day and age someone could be so racist against his own race. snark
Where is the sense of purpose in this team after the Old Spice Classic?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:58 PM ^
I was thinking the exact same thing when I looked up and seen that. Not that it can't happen, but we're not Duke. It just seems like we can't play any kind of defense what so ever. I know Cronin has been battling injury, but we gotta have a big body in the middle of the floor. Stop shooting so many f****** 3 pointers. We still need more athletes like Harris and Sims before we take that next step to be a contender in the Big Ten. It's killing me to watch this shit. We were supposed to get better?????
December 2nd, 2009 at 9:42 PM ^
Then he said, "This can't be good"
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:56 PM ^
We look terrible. Unforced errors, easy layups for BC.
They've had more easy layups than they saw in warmups.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:58 PM ^
BC's new Raji isn't as fat as the old Raji.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:01 PM ^
Is it just me or are the weakest fouls ever being called both ways the last few minutes?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:02 PM ^
The play tonight has been a bit Amakerish. And are the refs getting paid per whistle blow? Jebus.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:02 PM ^
ugh i cant stand len elmore and his commentary... also, his teeth scare me.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:04 PM ^
white unis - wish it was always maize at home.
Raji is on pace for a big night.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:06 PM ^
Alot more of the former and much less of the latter than we've seen so far this year. Wonder if JB likes Vogrich on D better than Laval at this point.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:07 PM ^
All were doing doing is settling for jumpshots, I wouldn't mind it so much if you know, we were making them. We look absolutely dreadful tonight.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:08 PM ^
I just turned it on. What's up with the lack of Sims? Fouls?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:09 PM ^
He got 2 quick.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:08 PM ^
has been a long nightmare narrated by Len Elmore. He sound likes the teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Buuueler. That one.
This is a bad scene. This looks to be much different situation than previously thought pre-season.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:11 PM ^
In other B10 news, Illinois is losing to Clemson by 20 at halftime. I'm surprised that they're so bad.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:11 PM ^
Only Wright's 2nd trey this year. It seems he's shot way more than 9 of them.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:13 PM ^
ACC refs?
EDIT: ...and a makeup call
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:14 PM ^
what are these refs doing??
nice to see cronin get some minutes and playing tough.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:13 PM ^
on the bench next to Gibson?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
I think.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:30 PM ^
Yes, that is Blake McLimans.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:14 PM ^
Is that Cronin's first block in his career?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:15 PM ^
why is it that college kids can't handle a jump ball?
What is the deal with that rule.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
I remember that rule as being pushed by TV interests as a way to speed up games.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:32 PM ^
It's because - no joke - it's apparently difficult for a lot of high school/college referees to throw a jump ball that goes straight up.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:15 PM ^
Damn, Cronin takes a while to fall to the ground. I guess it is a long fall.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:15 PM ^
Ben Cronin is my new favorite player
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
Peedi have foul trouble? Man our 3s arent falling and our FT shooting is terrible.
NVM someone answered above.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:18 PM ^
Hey, it could be way, way worse. If we can hit a few more three's and keep playing D we'll be back in this in no time.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:18 PM ^
Ugly first half there. Looking uninspired early and struggling to get anything to fall. Anyone have any thoughts on half-time adjustments?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
Pray?
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
we have "bubble team" written all over us.
December 2nd, 2009 at 10:57 PM ^
If we can't beat either Kansas or UConn we'll need 13 B10 wins just to feel safe. Unfortunately, we'll probably have 9-12 and be anywhere from lonnnnnnng shot to let's-just-hope-and-see.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 PM ^
Are you happy?!
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 PM ^
Since now apparently the curse has extended to every game we play.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:27 PM ^
No, the Daily has a Liveblog up for this game. Its the curse man, its the curse http://www.michigandaily.com/content/live-blog-michigan-mens-basketball…
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 PM ^
HOW THE FUCK does our great shooting team consistently get outshot from three point land and from the FT line? I guess I might as well throw in regular field goals as well.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:22 PM ^
We can't make 3s, 2s or FTs. We can't play defense. So you're saying there's a chance!
