Nice dime - and great catch too!
January 10th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Those passes tho...
January 10th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
simpson with the charge, but he has been the ultimate PG the past few min
January 10th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
And it's a fucking game again.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Have a seat Poole.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
Huge 3 by Simpson!
January 10th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Nice: X cans the 3.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Damn! Zavier with the early 3! Nylon!
January 10th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
that's horrible D by poole there. stop the damn ball. he's done that a couple times tonite.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
No way we beat MSU with shooting like this.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Who gives a shit right now about that?
January 10th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
Good thing we're always way better come March!
January 10th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Go back to RCMB
January 10th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
5-19 3pt tonight
January 10th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Live and die.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
Livers is having a nice game, as well.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
he's confidence is nite and day vs last year. the JB effect.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Definitely! His all around game is impressive. It's apparent why he was so highly touted coming in.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Yeah, besides a few fouls but he’s just playing balls out...you can tell he wants to say he’s 100%.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
We're gonna have some cold shooting nights - that's where our D really helps.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
TING!
Previous Beilein teams would have dropped a few by now.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Ugly game for Matthews.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Why does he love that fallaway shot so much? He always leaves it short.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
He's had a few games where he can't miss with it - he's just really hot and cold.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Another fadeaway brick.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Another fadeaway brick.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
68-56 with 3 minutes left
January 10th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
On all those blocked shots:
"You are starting to have to reinvent what you think about Michigan,"
Music to our ears.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Teske barely jumps and just puts those tennis racket hands up lolol
January 10th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Good thing we played Illinois tonight. Mathews and Poole need to spend some time working on there shot.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Negative comment AND a spelling/grammar error. Going to call that the “hailgary special” from now on.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
He's always this way in game threads. It's so annoying having to read all his negative bs. Wish we had the block/ignore feature.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Livers the new "Mail Man" of the Big 10. Delivers.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Hey, this is probably a good opponent to have a night where all 3 of our top scorers are off.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Matthews tonight woof.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
People expect us to shoot 75% from the field every game. Geez. Road games can be tough. Still up 12. Hasn’t been overly pretty, but Illinois plays this ugly style. Hard on D, just slow ugly possession O.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
the TO clean up has taken away the illni transition. dosunmo has zero points this half as a result.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Boy did you pick the wrong moment for that comment...
January 10th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
This team is just so good. Great defensively. Disciplined. Calm. Poised. Talented. Hard workers. Humble. Such a joy to watch.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Dosunmu with 2 points in the 2nd half. Strong adjustment, strong coaching.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Hack a Simpson coming up.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
This game is a major slog
January 10th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
If I was Illinois I would be fouling by now.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Nice passing and strong finish by Matthews - that should do it.
Up 10 with a minute left.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Finish this one off, win against NU, and it’s the best start for a Michigan basketball team. Good stuff.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
Wow, Illinois is a pretty decent 4-11 team. They've been within a possession in the 2nd half of all their losses except for 1. Horrible record, but not a horrible team.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
Lots to like tonight:
- Return of Livers (and a strong game, too)
- Teske playing his ass off
- Reasonably comfortable with despite all 3 top scorers having a tough shooting night
- Road win is a road win!
January 10th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
Some shitty defense tonight for us . Too many easy looks and no help on weak side
January 10th, 2019 at 10:12 PM ^
First half yes. 2nd not that bad. We just missed a ton of easy shots. Second half was a defensive slugfest.
January 10th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
Solid W. Bit of a struggle for a team that is not good this year.
I guess most of our big ten games are gonna be this way
