Michigan vs Penn State bball open thread

Levert with one of his patented turnovers

I sincerely had hope for our defense for a lot of that 1st half, but now we're just standing around looking thoroughly uninterested in defending.  I guess that was more a product of Penn State turning the ball over on all the possessions than our defense though.

This is ridiculous.  This team finds a way to keep every opponent in the game no matter how outclassed they ought to be.  Don't get me wrong, it's not like we're an elite team ourselves.  But we ought to be solidly ahead of a bad team that spent most of the game playing very poorly.

GO TO THE ZONE, JOHN B!!!!!!

I wonder if JB doesn't think the players are ready for the zone?  Have we played it at all?

Wow they can't miss a shot.  Points on 7 of their last 8 trips.

PSU scoring on almost every possession now.  This is ridiculous.

Nik holding up the Goose ... Larry Bird style.

Every team we play shoots over 50% from the floor.  I'm old fat and out of shape, but the way this team plays defense I could pick up 4 other Mgobloggers and we would shoot above 50%

moist.

The good news is that 14 of our 18 baskets have been assisted.

Horford has always been a surprisingly good free throw shooter for a big.

LeVert babyyyyyyyyyy

Now we've picked up the defensive intensity.

ROBINSON NASTYYYYYY

BOOM!

with the alley oop suction cup hands. 

Jesus ... GR3 was shot out of a cannon. He gets up quick.

and boom goes the dynamite

beast

Sportscenter top 10?

Well, looks like we woke back up a little...

GR3 coulda/woulda been a hell of a wide receiver.

out of watching college bball 

Yay for made free throws!

13-14 from the line is marked improvement.

with the NBA-esque stepback three

Run Home Jack

Refs playing catchup for fouls now.

Actually I have no idea, I just like to complain sometimes.

Spike with a terribly-shot 3 there.

Every time Nik has to chuck one with the clock running down, all I can think about is his all-time 3pt %

Offense is a bit out of rhythm right now.

Ed: Retracted

Penn State getting away with knocking us to the ground, again.

we had three people start running the fast break but none of them went for the rebound. whoops.

We are so weak in the paint defensively

when it's 5-on-4, can't have stauskas covering nobody

Walton just got flat clobbered and then they hit a three.  Cheap five point swing right there.
