Hoops vs. Northwestern open thread
Since ten minutes have gone by I figured I'd start this myself even if I end up being the only one replying.
The defense looks good so far - NU looks like it goes with a lot of motion to make up for what I imagine is a relative athletic disadvantage, but we've been vigiliant and active preventing backdoor cuts. Most of their points have come from getting the ball inside and so they're fronting and getting in tight on the guy throwing the entry pass.

Man. I coulda gone, had I not been giving literal tons of homework for next week.
They appear to have settled in, and are now making most of the shots they missed in the first few minutes.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
as an alum, for my/your own sake, please skip homework when given the opportunity to attend UM sporting events.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
Sims just made the best post move of his career ... Webber-esque!
January 10th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
To make sure it was Sims and not Kevin Durant out there.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:12 PM ^
Would be great...the Indiana loss aside, a great start to the Big Ten Season.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
but this is starting to trend a little worse. Stupid freshman.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
will you at some point truly contest a three point shot?!?!
January 10th, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
seen this game before? Kinda reminding me of the Penn State game hopefully we can keep the pressure on.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:03 PM ^
We're now down 50-44. I'm about to start throwing things.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
I love this team
January 10th, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
has gotten rattled. Dunno if I blame personnel (wright, morris) or if NU shifted up their scheme.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
After those gems from Wright and Harris I have my answer.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:23 PM ^
Anthony Wright getting PT continues to boggle my mind. The dude just seems lost. Throws careless passes. Puts up low-percentage shots. Give his minutes to Vogrich, please.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
Aww Zack Novak!
January 10th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
Oh Northwestern, that is just an awful commercial.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
Michigan losing the turnover battle? That's unpossible
January 10th, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
Now it's Michigan leading 37-34 after being up 31-14 earlier. Not good.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:49 PM ^
is for them to stop talking about this Crawford character the whole time.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
that his father is an NBA ref?
January 10th, 2010 at 3:54 PM ^
is the story of the game so far....which is midly annoying.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:59 PM ^
Tom Hamilton's voice is pure rage-inducing. I'm running out of coping mechanisms.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:02 PM ^
Suzyn Waldman - I'll give anyone a pass.
---------
Where'd the double digit lead go - this is not good.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
I am not sure what is happening. Our passing is terrible
January 10th, 2010 at 4:03 PM ^
The team just doesn't have any consistency. And with only two real sure threats to score (assuming they are playing to full capacity), this team just doesn't yet have the chemistry to win consistently. The season so far confirms that.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:03 PM ^
So I am streaming the radio feed on my computer while watching the game on mute. Good way to avoid the BTN announcers.
Note: to pull this off you have to have a DVR so you can get the delay on the TV match the delay on the internet feed
January 10th, 2010 at 4:04 PM ^
I like listening to Greg Kelser myself ... he is one of the best in the business.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:05 PM ^
sweet choke job boys
January 10th, 2010 at 4:05 PM ^
oh no
nu 56 um 49
January 10th, 2010 at 4:06 PM ^
watching this game is infuriating.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:06 PM ^
Northwestern is shooting 6/8 from behind the 3 point line in this half....unbelievable
January 10th, 2010 at 4:07 PM ^
Well. This sucks.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:07 PM ^
I am crying in my living room, rolled up in a ball, drinking zima and jolly ranchers
January 10th, 2010 at 4:08 PM ^
This team is just too streaky...They look great 1 half and then absolutely look horrible another...They are missing leadership or focus or something else maybe heart. Very frustrating.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
We have time. Right? Right.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
I fell asleep when they were up 15 and woke up when they were down 10. You couldn't imagine how pissed I was.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:12 PM ^
Harris doing his part... Sims needs to get int on this.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
This game is absurd!
January 10th, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
Someone besides Harris or Sims needs to step up.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:15 PM ^
I wish that was called a foul
January 10th, 2010 at 4:18 PM ^
Thank you Stu. More plz.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:26 PM ^
Less Stu on dribble-drive...
January 10th, 2010 at 4:21 PM ^
may asplode...
January 10th, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
D. Morris!!!
Man, I wish I had BTN instead of lameass Gametracker.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
So sloppy today. Can't have the turnovers if we're gonna win games.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
turnover's are killing us.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:27 PM ^
GAME OVER...3 turnovers and missed lay up final 3 Possessions
January 10th, 2010 at 4:27 PM ^
Ridiculous. It's not a "streaky" thing, it's an effort thing. Take care of the ball, calm the heck down, and play ball. Not a good loss.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:27 PM ^
played awful today. awful.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
That sucked a lot
That sucked
I'm (evidently) lost for words.
