Simmons just caused Wagners 2nd foul.  This has been bad basketball with Simmons in.  The free throws he got was pretty much a bail out foul as he wasn;t doing shit with that drive

and only 8 assists is not MIch basketball.Early foul on Matthews and playing multiple guys like Simmons & Watson = disjointed 1st half...Only down 3 ,will end up winning.

but we managed to get back into the game...Simmons needs to sit , Wagner just doesnt have it anymore..Livers and Poole need MORE playing time..Without Matthews we struggle

Not a good half of ball. Beilein should take this as the point in the season when he stops playing non-contributors.

Officiating was abysmal all half

isn't ready to run JB's offense.  That's clear.

I think he'll get it by the B1G tourney (though it's a stupid week early).  And I like the deep bench so far this season.

we weathered the storm and hopefully we'll come out and play better in the 2nd half.

No more Simmons unless we're way up or way down, play Livers way more and I hope Matthews and MO contribute something in the 2nd half

Maybe Simmons is a guy that plays better with more PT as the game goes on. However, we are too stacked at the guard position to let him stink it up like that and keep him in there.

Mo played some pretty terrible and lazy ball in the first half. I honestly think he was thrown off his game by the early fouls and having to sit, but let's see how they come out in the second half.

Side note: wouldn't mind seeing Beilein go Bobby Knight on these refs if shit continues
