I find it a little humilating to be losing to this team, I won't lie. I know they're good, but come on, we can't be a footnote in their miracle run.

Glad we got this far only to be embarrassed by an overrated, lucky team that’s gonna get absolutely annihilated in the championship by whoever they play. But what would a Michigan sport season be without a soul crushing loss that gives the other team a “first time in history” moment

Michigan's problem is not Loyola - they are not really affecting shots.  No, Michigan's problem is Michigan.  Another cold shooting night mean another nail biter at the end.  Why can't they just shoot an average game?  Why do they need to get the 'average' between shit cold and sun hot?  Frustrating.

This small for shit school is going to beat us. Will make for a fucking boring finals as KU or Villanova will mop the fucking floor with this team.

Our shooting is not far off...close shots just not going in,  MAAR just barely missing...things will even out and they will start dropping.  I hope.

Not hitting shots.  Not hitting threes.  Not hitting free throws.

You're not going to win at this level like that, nor should you.

Down 7 at half with Rawk and Duncan combining for 0 points. M had a chance to build a big lead early, didn’t, and now needs to come out strong like in the Montana game. Take charge early in the second half and forget the first 20-minute clunker.

Last 10 minutes could not have gone worse and you're still in touch. Turnovers are the biggest key right now. Take care of the ball and you can chip away.

4 of 5 games now crap shooting. This is probably what this team is more than the TAMU game. Might be lucky to get out of this one.

All players not named Wagner, Matthews, and Teske need to get their heads out of their asses because they have a combined 0 points,

I imagine that these guys play college basketball because they can actually hit shots, right? I mean, I can go out there and miss a bunch of baskets if that's the requirement for a scholarship.

shots from inside and out.

I mean, I guess you can credit that to Loyola's defense somehow for making Michigan miss wide-open looks.  I hope Michigan can turn this around playing in front of their own bench the second half. Hit half of the shots in the second half, and Michigan wins running away.

I really don't want Michigan's season to end as a stepping stone to the Sister Jean Championship story...
