Michigan v Michigan State Open Thread

Game on!

We look . . . organized.

Iz Izzo naturally sour or did he long ago decide acting sour makes him look determined?

jones is going to get exposed today on D. hopefully he can limit the damage. please keep pounding it down low to both bigs. then let the open 3s come from that.

Hedging allows a couple easy buckets so far.

Speed off the dribble is a big concern for us. Especially when backside help is unaware. 

Both msu bigs with a foul before the under 16. Never a bad thing 

Oof, they’re getting to the basket pretty easily.  The steal and score was a great play by Hunter, but I don’t think he should be out that far.

LOL don't take the risk of Bingham being taken out of the game...by taking him out of the game.  Autobench logic!

Rebounding really well early 

two nice offensive boards for houstan

Sparty getting frustrated early, 4 fouls with 14 min to go in the 1st half. Good, goooooood.

certainly can't complain about the whistle so far.  

we look pretty solid.  this keeps up, good things will keep happening. 

Michigan is playing basketball, Staee is playing rugby. Beat Sparty ass!

This game going to take 4 hours at this rate with all these fouls. 

diabate do not commit a dumb 2nd foul

5 Staee turnovers!

Have to score off the Staee TOs.

So many chances for us to have more buckets.  Could 'easily' have 20.

Playing with great energy, they are.  Especially Moussa.

That lineup is...odd.

I like our aggressiveness on the boards. Now just to calm down Frankie. 

playing with extremely high energy. will need more subbing to keep those legs fresh.

Moussa came to play.  My kingdom for a point guard.

Some UGLY shots by both teams this half. 

Nice 7 point swing.  Jesus fucking christ.

I look forward very much to a Johns free team someday 

7-point swing.

Not going to lie, that John’s shot was so off I started laughing

yes. keep working it to HD.

I like the idea of Bufkin on Christie.

Nice adjustment by the staff

I want Dickinson to foul out 3 of their big guys

Other than the air ball, Johns is showing out today.

HD all day against sparty bigs.

Well, this is a strange feeling. Definitely feels like we're getting a favorable whistle.

Have we even hit a three yet?

Explain where this foul occurred?! 

WHAT THE FUCK DO THESE GUYS LOOK AT

Brandon Johns.

Good lord can this team play awful stretches of basketball. How do they let State get a transition 3 off a made basket?
