Prob Too Late CBB Open Thread
49-27, has been all Northwestern. Really fun 1st half to watch - hope they can keep it going for the last 20 mins. Go Cats!

No kidding, lets hope NW doesnt fall apart and let MSU get back in it .
February 17th, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
At least that lead lasted longer than Mike Damone.
February 17th, 2018 at 3:09 PM ^
Dude, you jinxed it.
February 17th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
about that. Then said to hell with it - too good not to share.
Kick the living shit out of them Northwestern!
February 17th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
Oh like you know Damone..you don't know

B10 hoops has not been very predictable recently.

Don't agree. They have been on a hot stretch recently until this first half. Bridges has really been asserting himself and looking good, including his Purdue game winner. Jackson is still a top 3 pick in the draft, and Ward and Winston continue to be very good. The fact that they were 12 or whatever it was on the S curve is the real joke. I imagine they'll pull this one off as well.

they should have lost to iowa. they should have lost today. they should have lost to purdue. those were all choke jobs. give msu credit for not folding but those were choke jobs.
msu's half court offense is not good. a good zone will shut them down. NU could have used mcintosh today to stop the bleeding. he would have easily prevented that loss today.

for one, it was a very easy stretch of games with only two semi-difficult games: at Maryland and home Purdue.
The were down 13 at half agaist Maryland and had to come back. They got fairly lucky to beat Purdue at home.
They had today's game, and that was without McIntosh. They were down late to Iowa and pulled it out by three.
They've actually dropped in kenpom rankings from 5th to 6th during this current 10 game winning streak, which tells you all you need to know about the competition during that time and the unexpected closeness of those games.
Unfortunately, it seems like they just sleepwalk through long stretches, but they're a really, really good team when they turn it on. They've been lucky to get away with that this stretch, but I don't they'll have those lazy stretches in the tournament.

Their B1G schedule is pretty laughable too. Michigan only once at Breslin, Purdue once at Breslin, OSU once on the road, PSU once at Breslin and Nebraska once at Breslin. They have only had to play the top 5 teams in the B1G once and of the 5 games only one was on the road, a loss to OSU.

is a lock for a 2 seed at worst now...unless they choke at Wisky.
February 17th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
they have some foul troubles though which could come back to bite them in the 2nd half.
go Cats, beat molester state!
February 17th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
February 17th, 2018 at 3:29 PM ^
will buy my own one way ticket.
But NW is going to win, damn it!!!
Go Cats!!!

relax folks. it either will happen, or it won't. sparking some electrons on computers about it, hundreds of miles from the game, has no effect. most of you are kidding, but not all...

In other news, Texas wins at Oklahoma which is helpful for Michigan except Oklahoma sucks.
I'm excited for the Xavier vs Villanova game at 4:30. That should be a dandy although I will be sad watching Jalen Brunson and Trevon Bluiett. They should be wearing Michigan uniforms.

at length. See Brian's front page post for a great breakdown of the various brackets.
TL;DR, this is guy is probably overvaluing the strength of record and we're more like an 8-9 seed right now. But lot of opportunity to move up a few seeds since we have three winnable quality games remaining.
February 17th, 2018 at 3:36 PM ^
February 17th, 2018 at 3:36 PM ^
And because its Izzo, they'll come out in the 2nd half and score 42 straight to go up by 20 and coast to a win.
February 17th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Lead down to 12 points, NW may be....
February 17th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
fucking OP.
10 point change since posting this
February 17th, 2018 at 4:21 PM ^
You're the kind of clown who starts babbling loudly about a no-hitter in the sixth inning and a shutout at the beginning of the third period.
Stay away from shitposting during tournament time for all Michigan sports.
