...but, all 4 of our pro teams suck and my emotion is poured into UM football and basketball. I'm spent emotionally with both of them now, too....

Sorry you don’t have a healthy attitude toward games you have no control over played by college kids.

Outscored by 19 points after we got an early 10 point lead. Only scored 39 points in the final 36 or minutes of the game. The problem against Nebraska wasn't fatigue. It's the team. They're not very good despite having the players to be very good.

Agreed. It’s a road loss in the B1G it happens. Team will be fine.

Being able to only score 39 points after the first four minutes of the game against fucking Northwestern following absolutely shitty performances with the exception of one game over their past 7 is not "fine." It's not like this god-awful performance came out of nowhere. The team's just not good.

Record disagrees with you. Last time I checked they are still making the real tourney that matters. However you’re right. This isn’t a good team /s

Let's talk about this team making the "real tourny" after Selection Sunday and see if you're right, person with an insanely creepy profile picture for anyone not 12.

the model looks really young (like 12ish?)

FWIW, I didn't take it that way, (tho chick pulling her briefs down & posing awkwardly for viewer is not my fave pic for a general (non-sex-oriented) message board -- yes i'm an f-word... neg away, if you must.)

Anyway -- I'd find it way *more* disturbing if she *were* 12-ish, regardless of the age of the viewer / poster. Don't understand how you (the poster) also being 12 would somehow make it better/ok in that case?

So no, I don't think she looks super young -- better not be, based on what she's doing.

But I think that was the concern. And I can see how she could, in fact, easily be under 18. Not sure exactly what the rules are, but might not be a bad idea to make sure it's a legit source if you haven't already.

We should definitely bad mouth the team, have a full meltdown, and feel bad about ourselves. Just don’t understand why all M teams can’t dominate and go undefeated every year.

All those who are concerned about our ranking - yeah, we’re not a top 25 team. We have maybe 1 NBA player (Moe). Three freshmen next year (DeJulius, Brazdekis and Johns) are better than anyone on the current roster other than Moe.

With Z at point guard. He provides nothing to the offense and he can’t shoot a free throw if ho life depends on it.

That John Beilein sure can coach! Headed right towards bubble, which means we'll get bounced in the 2nd round and then talk about how awesome he is. Wash, winse, repeat.

To be a great defender? Dude just got abused in back to back games. Can’t defend, can’t shoot, can’t make a Ft. Misses 70% of layups. Sweet

Did the guy Mo was guarding have? Please don't just look at the box.

I swear it was open threes or whoever Mo was guarding going past him and/or over him for a layup.

I wouldn't touch him with a draft pick if I was an NBA GM.

You really think Michigan lost this game on their defense? Parson — I assume he was Mo’s assignment — did little. McIntosh and Lindsey were most of their offense, with a couple of timely shots from Law. But this is stil going to grade out as one of Michigan’s better defensive performances in Big Ten play.

Just didn’t even look like the same team we saw just a couple weeks ago. Chalk it up to a bad road loss and move on. Team needs a little rest?

Eh, truth be told other than the Purdue loss this team has looked like shit since MSU. They're just a bad shooting team capable of bombing away on occasion like the Purdue game.

has to be one of the worst coached games in JB's history. The officials were letting them bang underneath but where was Teske and Livers ? We coached wimpy perimeter stuff and paid the price. I mean Northwestern out-manned us all night like we were French Puddles.

Livers was hurt early. Messed up the rotation for the game.

Livers was injured early. I agree with you on Teske - JB’s sub patterns have a tendency to be head scratching.

UM “looked” low on energy while NU looked high energy. Combine with poor shooting and you take the slow walk off the court.

58-39 by Northwestern in the last 35ish minutes. Simply pathetic!

We've been garbage for 3 weeks...tonight, those chickens came home to roost.

Agreed but this is still a bad loss NW is not a good team. We just gotta get ready for the next one. With that said most of the people who are bitching have watched 2 games this whole season so I wouldn’t pay them much attention. Fair weather fuckers

All teams have bad losses (except a small handful). People live in such a vacuum.
This is a good team, they'll be fine.

in the last few weeks. We were blown out at Nebraska and we were blown out tonight (save for the first 5 minutes of the game)... against 2 mediocre teams.

That doesn't happen to "good" teams...sorry

This team has been a terrible shooting team since Michigan State with the exception of the Purdue game. Made only 5 threes tonight. Can't hit free throws at all. Northwestern is an NIT team, so no, they're not good. But other than that...

Texas? Didn't look that good, it was an ugly game. Ucla? Somehow, someway after being down all game they get it done. Msu? Yes, this is by far their best game. Difference, Z actually looked like a Big 10 PG. They do play up and down to their competition. But anyone who is frustrated with this team after watching them the last few weeks has every right to be.

This team has been inconsistent. And yes it has been frustrating at times. But this is college basketball it's not a symphony. I just can't stand all of the sky is falling, JB is a terrible coach, Simpson is trash, this is an NIT team garbage talk. Grow up people.
