M Hoops v. Penn State Open Thread (?)

Delete at will.

We are a shell of our former selves from a few years ago. No Jordan. No Mitch. No Trey, or Nick, or......
This shit is tough to watch.
January 4th, 2017 at 8:56 PM ^
This just in. We suck, and we are very likely not a tourney team. That seat is going to warm up pretty soon for JB.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:55 PM ^
The team not only sucks, but lacks any physical or mental toughness, has no leadership, and plays with absolutely no fire. Even with all of that, JB's seat is just as comfy as ever.
January 4th, 2017 at 8:52 PM ^
Well, the other has that terrible title. Hopefully this one stays.
January 4th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
Make some strides.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:05 PM ^
They've only had like 4 years to do so
January 4th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
Or should we move on to Simpson to get it done?
January 4th, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
We're screwed either way
January 4th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
Thread about Grayson Allen has 40+ posts. Thread about Michigan basketball game 1/4 of the way through the game has about 4. No wonder ESPN is so successful.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:10 PM ^
Because people are apathetic toward this program right now. That is worse than being angry about it. Please retire Beilein.
January 4th, 2017 at 8:58 PM ^
Wagner and Wilson are fun. The rest of this team is abysmal to watch.

Done with basketball. When's the next football game?
January 4th, 2017 at 9:01 PM ^
If we don't make the tournament can I speculate about firing JB? Or is he still untouchable?

Probably gotta see what he does with those two 7 ft-ish stiffs on the bench, 1st.
Anyone having audio problems?
January 4th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
Announcers are out
January 4th, 2017 at 9:04 PM ^
I got negged when I LOL'ed at the notion that Beilein should be able to retire whenever he wants to. That was only weeks ago after the games in NYC. If they miss the tournament this season, he'll probably be on a pretty hot seat for 2017-18.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
Do you not remember the Elerbe...
...or Amaker eras!!!!!!?????? JB is not only untouchable, he is GOD!!

It's going to be a tough road to any post season tourney.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
has to explode to the rim better and dunk those. that is two drives to the rim now he missed because he didn't go up strong and dunk. he did make the one.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
There is a live Michigan basketball game on, I don't have shit else to do, and I'm going to choose not to watch it. I going to do dishes, or read or something. I am a die hard fan. This is a bad sign for Michigan hoops.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:03 PM ^
Beilein has a huge buyout. I can see us pressuring him to retire or just waiting a few years to fire him.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:05 PM ^
He should let Harbaugh recruit for him.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
Yea, Najee would be a solid combo guard

This team is infuriating at times.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
This team has been infuriating for a while. I'm not a JB critic, but there are a few guys who just haven't gotten any better since they've been there.

At 9PM, the Michigan hoops twitter feed posted a pic of Walton with the words "DW10 leading the charge"
At that point, he had zero points on 0-3 shooting (0-2 3PT).
January 4th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
Id like to see JB Call these players OUT...Enough of Mr Nice Guy
January 4th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
Anyone at the game? I could swear Ace was just on the lip sync cam.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:08 PM ^
This team is so meh. I honestly feel like people don't even care anymore. Crazy to think we were competing for National Championships just a couple years ago... Hopefully we can get back to that level within the next couple of years but idk if Beilein is the guy to make that happen. I think we'll be good under him but I think his best days are behind him.

This team plays with less fire than my grandma at bingo night
January 4th, 2017 at 9:08 PM ^
I'd feel better about things if we had some good freshmen but only Xavier Simpson gets minutes and he has a long way to go. Next year will be brutal if we don't have any good freshmen.

Michigan basketball has been unwatchable for awhile now. Need a new coach and need the opposite of a soft team. Try not to suck.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
One that can recruit.
We don't get the players we need.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:31 PM ^
We went to the final 4 and elite 8 and JB wasn't able to sell Michigan to top recruits. That was the 1st red flag.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:51 PM ^
years ago and it was apparent for those that wanted to pay attention. Recruiting got markedly worse after the 2012 class. That is the opposite of what should have been happening in the midst of an NC and Elite 8 run. JB simply has failed to recruit like anything more than a perpetual bubble team. The recruiting misses over the last 4 classes are too numerours to recount and thoroghly depressing.

The B1G has one team (Minnesota #10) in the RPI top 25. This doesn't seem to bode well for very many teams being invited to the tourney this year. Our one conference game so far is a loss to the lowest ranked B1G team, #145 Iowa.

it may be a year-long slog. this team need moderate improvement from irvin and walton to finish near the top of the BIG. irvin has had a couple off games but has been pretty solid. walton has had a serious regression. his overall numbers are similar to last year but we are only now heading into BIG season.
the drop-off of maar too is killer.
if you would have told me that wagner and wilson would play this well, i would have guessed top 4 finish in the BIG. with each passing game, my optimism dwindles.
January 4th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
JB's "everyone loses" speech isn't gonna cut it a second time, methinks.
This team is just bad.
