MBB vs. Kansas Open Thread
January 9th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
anyone else see Blake give the shocker?
January 9th, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
I think he threw up double shockers.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
EPIC NOVAKS!
January 9th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
I really wish we had some recruits at this game. :(
January 9th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
We do, several top ones actually.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
We do have recruits at the game
January 9th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
but HOORAY basketball recruits.
Unless there are football guys there, in which case I am an idiot.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
Michigan needs this. Shed the negative press, shed the haters detracting, great school=great things.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
EJECT HIM.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
Is it me or are these announcers being a bit biased against Michigan???
January 9th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
It's Clark Kellog-Ohio Stae, you be the judge.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
To be fair, UM didn't seem to be in this game until there was about 3 minutes to go. They were shooting like crap, really weren't many redeeming qualities to discuss.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Oh I know we have been playing like crap but every questionable call he goes Kansas' way ie the elbow and the Tim Hardaway block that he STILL was talking about in the highlights, he got the body AFTER the ball let it go.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
GARBAGE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!
January 9th, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
we sure as hell arent getting the same calls down low like Kansas has been getting all day
January 9th, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
On THAT?!
January 9th, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
Is so good. I'll admit I just started watching because my NFL team is playing, but that kid seems like he'll be a real stud in a few years.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
and Hardaway put it in.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
Big basket by Hardaway, keep it close boys!
January 9th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Great shot by Hardaway down low. Just need a couple of stops.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
Hell of an effort today i hope we can some how pull it out down the stretch. I think Horford should be in the game.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
Is Ben Cronin a GA or something now?
January 9th, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
Prolly not, eh?!
January 9th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
Big possession here, just get two and get back on D.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
Don't understand why they quit playing zone to start the OT
January 9th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
What kind of loser fan roots against your team just so it goes to overtime because you're at Buffalo Wild Wings?
January 9th, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
That posession was terrible
January 9th, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
maybez i can has a shot
January 9th, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
no. i cantz
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Anyone else wonder why we're pretty much just passing around the perimeter and shooting 3s? Especially with how horrible both teams have been from behind the arc?
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Do you get credit when it comes NCAA/NIT selection time for quality losses? Like overtime against one of the best teams in the country.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
I think we get more credit for playing them, I don't think they look at margin of victory all that much.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
douglass should be playing at Central Michigan University, not the University of Michigan.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
Someone should probably tell Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed that they should be playing for Wichita State, and not for the #3 team in the country.
How dare they actually think they could be good enough to play there. How dare they put their heart and soul into their team, when assholes like you could do much, much better while sitting in their La-Z-Boy sippin' on their 13th Busch Light of the day.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Did I compare Douglass to Reed or Morgningstar. Nope. Just because Douglass plays hard doesn't make him a good player. You play to win the game, not feel good about trying hard. This isn't little league.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Good effort though.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Would have liked to see the zone sooner, but I can see how he wanted to save it. Man, sucks that they have came so close to Syracuse and Kansas but came away empty both times.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:55 PM ^
save it for what, it was worrking. both their 3 pointers came against man-man
January 9th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Good showing men. Got to that next step.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
a feel good loss?
January 9th, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
Maybe losing by a total of 10 points to the #3 and the #4 team in the country (who have a combined 0 losses) while taking fucking Kansas into overtime isn't seen as acceptable to you, but this game showed a lot of character for our guys. Go away troll. Michigan doesn't need you as a "fan"
January 9th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
And how many games do you go to? Do you have season tickets and donate to the university? Sorry but I have season tickets and donate. I would like to see our basketball program treated better than the red headed step child of the athletic department. I don't agree with Beilein getting a free pass in his 4th year. They should be better. I am tired of going to games at crisler and being able to hear players talking to each other because the place is empty and quiet. I am tired of saying, "good game guys, we will get them next time." I have been watching this team probably before you were born. So yes I expect better. We all should. The basketball program has a lot of tradition and now it seems that the athletic department and fans only care about using it for football recruiting. I am just frustrated, sorry for the rant.
January 9th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
Wait, this is the internet, right? So I have had season tickets since 1910 and donate a shit ton to the athletic department. I suggest you actually look at the reality of this team or you are going to be pretty pissed off when JB isn't fired. He is building something special, sorry you can't see it.
January 9th, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
but he was shown the door
January 9th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Having worked in fundraising for Michigan I can safely say that if you (like 98+% of donors) have never given 25k or more in a single gift you're in the same boat as everybody else as far as what your opinion is worth. Sorry.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
Good try blue
January 9th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
This team could be special in a couple years. Good game.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
Evan really didn't expect the ball on the previous possession.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
Great effort regardless of the outcome, can't win em all.
January 9th, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
Can't win them all... Unless you are Duke lol
