BBall vs NCCU Open Thread
Didn't see any of these up already so here it is. Looking for the Morris, Morgan, and Hardaway trio to continue their good play tonight
December 14th, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
Damn, my long-winded topic doomed me to your fast fingers. Well done, sir.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
7:02- first reference to Darius Morris as "the butterfly". Tipoff still hasn't happened yet.
In all seriousness, though, it sounds like NCC has been flying all over the country recently and should be pretty tired. I look for M to get off to a pretty fast start. Go Blue!
December 14th, 2010 at 7:16 PM ^
Haha, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the butterfly obsession last game.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
Only one Batman picture from you this post? I'm disappointed.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:04 PM ^
lol, touche'
December 14th, 2010 at 7:10 PM ^
apparently is the name that BTN is trying to assign to our team. Which is awful- obviously "Baby Blue and the Butterflies" is a much catchier name.
7-7 so far, we've alternated good defensive stands with giving up wide-open layups. Typical Michigan D.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:11 PM ^
I cringed every time I heard it, through the Utah game... heard the "awoken from his freshman cocoon" thing... I mean, really?
December 14th, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
So, I hear the over/under on student section size is 12 people. Did we make the over?
December 14th, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
I think they had to re-validate that one old guy's MCard to cover it. You know the guy.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
Good to hear my doppelganger made it in with my card that expired in 2007.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
In all seriousness, there looks like 100 or so students there. Very quiet.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
Does Lloyd Brady go to basketball games too?
December 15th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
Final exams man...don't worry I was there
December 14th, 2010 at 7:16 PM ^
Place looks awfully empty, I couldn't convince the wife to go after going to Utah and the big chill otherwise I would/should be there.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:21 PM ^
is your tacopants wearing number 69?
December 14th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
Ultimately he wants the # 1 jersey but can't cure a bad case of the dropsies.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
That also makes him an ineligible receiver. That's clearly not the case as all flags are clearly Taylor Lewan's fault. It's that mustache... it just draws the attention of the refs.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
Who's in charge here?
December 14th, 2010 at 7:45 PM ^
Clearly not me, surely you can relate.
December 15th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
you got it, at least some of the time.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
NCCU really sucks. Traveling or not.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
Hardaway found Morgan for a slam, then Morris found Hardaway in the same spot next posession- Tim Jr. took it up and tried to throw it down as if to say "I can dunk too!" He got fouled and ended up barely catching rim. Should have laid it in for the and-one. Something he'll learn as he gets older, hopefully.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
2nd TV timeout. We are missing open 3s, (and by we I mean Stu) and they are just throwing up prayers every possession they have. Interesting note- for a tired team, they're full-court pressing after makes.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
So far we look pretty "meh" against a "meh" team. And we're getting beaten badly on the boards even though we're as big or bigger than they are. Way bigger at the guard spots.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
Also, I think Jon Horford is going to be one of my favorites in a year or two.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:31 PM ^
He looks like a true banger in the making. Has a great defensive presence and can hit foul shots.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
He is a machine on the offensive glass tonight.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
33% from the field. The only thing keeping us ahead right now is NCC's terrible play as well.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:33 PM ^
Looks to be around 130 and thats counting players, coaches and media...I don't get it.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:34 PM ^
Finals
December 14th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
give us a break, we're friggin college students and it's finals week.
December 14th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
in decades.
I don't go to all the games, but man, I've truly never seen Crisler so sparsely filled.
But the Gov was there! Rick Snyder sitting courtside!
December 14th, 2010 at 7:33 PM ^
novak just got called for his hand in the cookie jar
December 14th, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
to quote Charles Barkley, the round mound of rebound "Ernie, I don't know where you get your cookies from but the rest of us don't get ours there."
December 14th, 2010 at 7:34 PM ^
This is not the same team that blew out Utah early. Way to flat and willing to settle (and miss) for the 3. Need some drives/dunks to fire up the team.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
Carnival rims, thats the only explanation! Pathetic shooting thus far.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
1-12 for threes..
oh lord.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
This is absolutely terrible... playing with no passion!
December 14th, 2010 at 8:27 PM ^
They're just not playing.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:37 PM ^
1 for 12 three-point shooting. Nothing's been contested, we've gotten offensive boards... we just can't hit anything. Thank god they have more offensive fouls than baskets.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
They just look tired and flat. Hopefully we can avoid this for the majority of the B10 season.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
I hope they pick it up...there bigs are useless with Morgan on the bench...can someone please put it on the deck..
December 14th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
Can we please shoot just 1 more three?
December 14th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
I like this kid.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
Horford looking very good. Unfortunately that's about it
December 14th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
December 14th, 2010 at 7:47 PM ^
strong.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
I personally would like to see a Maize Block M at center court
