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 8:31 PM ^
Horford looks like he wants to play ball tonight.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
I want Horford to get Barwis'd
December 14th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
...him getting John Sanderson'd.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
Do you need a resume to be hired by the BTN to do commentary, or do you think I could take a cardboard sign to their next broadcast that sez "I doose play buh play" , and be hired on the spot?
December 14th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
Yes, absolutely, but only if you can make stupid butterfly references.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
I haven't decided what irritates me more, the fact that he makes "Butterfly", and "Baby Blues" references, or the overwhelming pride in his voice as he's making them.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
Well, at least we know he paid attention in 2nd-grade science class.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
He also gave Stu Douglass a name. I have no idea what the hell it was... but it was something.
My closest approximation is "Stu Dutchamaroo"... but I could be missing some syllables
December 14th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
47-32 Michigan, 7:45 left. The shots are starting to fall now.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
....to Tim Doyle:
I have no idea what you just said.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
that was a nice recovery.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
I know they play different positions, but without a primary scorer (manny) Morris has stepped up his game.
Anyone else think missing out on Ziegler has been a bit of a boon for Morris forcing him to step up a bit more and not defering to the "scorers"?
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
GRIT!
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
I hate these announcers.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
...they're playing excellent team defense this game. Of course NCCU is helping out a lot.
Beautiful shot by Morris there.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
And to think this was a 23-19 game at the half.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Bielien indicated that he was going to have to start being a little more aggressive with this group during halftime if they started off slowly. Obviously, he balances that aggression with the ego's of mostly underclassmen.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
...get out of hand, and I like it.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
How's the lower bowl look - especially the student section?
December 14th, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^
Pretty abysmal, most of the regulars in the student section are there though.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
...Buffalo Lodge hat dude.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^
See MGoShoe's comment above... that about sums it up.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:48 PM ^
....sparse.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:48 PM ^
turrible
December 14th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
7 butterfly references
December 14th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Drink.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
...or Accutane:
Drink.
December 15th, 2010 at 12:53 AM ^
Dangerous for this game...I like it.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
59 - 37 3:33 minutes left
December 14th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
The one dude that I can't stand looking at is the one that wears the full yellow elastic body suit over his head down to his toes. Not sure how he get's in it, but dude freaks-me-out.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
Doyle would like "Leaders" & "Legends" and how that's "created buzz."
December 14th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
Oakland is leading undefeated Tennessee by 5 points with just 2:33 left. These are the same guys that lost to Sparty by a point.
We play Oakland on Saturday. That game looks it could be really tough now.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
Word.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
...much better than their record would suggest. The one point loss to MSU and tough losses to the Illini and Wright State.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
...time.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:55 PM ^
...his first three of the year and gives the butterfly sign to the bench.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
Doyle: "Michigan is tied for its best 10-game start since they went to the tourney a couple years ago."
Best start in two years? Historic.
December 14th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
December 14th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
...score.
Michigan 64 - NCCU 44.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
Go Blue! Well done.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
The announcers said that NCCU was 0-22 when they were losing at half. Guess the streak is still alive, thankfully.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
Upset Alert:
Oakland up 4 on Tennessee, about 1:20 to go. On ESPNU and ESPNews as I type this.
EDIT: Sorry, WH. I didn't mean to step on toes there.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
Up 6 with 30 seconds left!!
Upset Special!
December 14th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
They're going to beat the #7 team in the country on the road. We need to bring our A game (and maize jerseys) on Saturday.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
Some other shit.
They gave Michigan State fits and are up on Tennessee? Crazy. I hope we can get the 'W'.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
This is bad timing for us. They're coming off a game where they had a shot to beat MSU and then won at Tennessee. They're going to have all the confidence in the world now. Our guys better be ready.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
Should be a good game on Saturday. I think Beilein will have them ready. He noted in the postgame interview on the radio that a win against Oakland is now worth a lot more in terms of RPI. Some extra motivation for the team.
December 14th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
We had been able to upend 'Cuse and not lay that egg against UTEP.
Hm.
I hate the "what if" game.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
w/ :19 seconds left AT Tenn, Oakland is up 87-82. They have dominated the boards in this game.
