Game Thread: #25 Michigan at #3 Purdue

You didn't watch the same game I did. Simpson played great defense. Hit some key shots. Scored like 8 points in the last 4 minutes of the 1st half to keep us clinging to life. Poor FT shooting? Sure. But you throw that blanket "sucks" statement out a little too loosely.

Xavier figures the FT line out.

MAAR is an animal! He did everything possible to keep Michigan in the game. He was by far the best player on the court tonight

It's Zavier. But I heard one he figures it out that he's changing his name to Tsavier.

Having Simpson in driving for 2 for the last 30 seconds is a failure of coaching. They weren't missing free throws

Seriously can't have a PG shoot 50% from the line. Shouldn't ever play in a close game. EVER! Purdue doesn't miss, and we got guys who don't ever make them.

Lost to a great team on the road. I'm not sure if Purdue is beatable when they shoot like that.

Sweet. A double post to go with our two blown layups that were the margin in the game.

See you when you get bounced in the second round painter. The refs gave you two against us this year.

Lol God you really are a bitch. Purude is the better team everyday of the week. I will bet my life savings that they go further in the tourney than any Big Ten team.

Simple math tells you that you need 3's to cut the deficit if they're automatic from the FT line. Why was Simpson even going for layups? That's poor awareness by him.

Lol. They will be just fine. The rest of the games on the schedule are very winnable.

Really? The rest of our schedule:

vs. NU

vs. Minn

@ NU

@ Wisc

vs. Iowa

vs. OSU

@ Penn State

@ Maryland

At most, we win four of these games. We'll lose vs OSU, @NU, @Maryland, and either @Wisconsin or vs. Minnesota.

If we win four or less and have an early exit in the B1G tournament, we're out.

At Northwestern??

What are you, like, the one Northwestern troll?

Have you watched them play basketball this year?

If Michigan plays the way they did today, they'll run the table. (They won't). I look at that schcedule, and I see 6-2. I'm not sure where the losses will come -- that's basketball -- but this is not a .500 basketball team in the (terrible) Big Ten.

We lost to LSU and Nebraska this year. Do you think we are incapable of losing that game?
