Michigan/UConn Game Thread

Burn 27 secs when you need 10 pts?

ESPN gamecast went from 3:14 remaining to 0.0 and is stuck there. 

I'm out.

G'night all.

Irvin is 1/9 and Robinson 1/8. That is not going to win any games. Just awful

Haha, getting shots put in our eyes all the way to the bitter end

Well. Night guys. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Well, we put together a good 5-7 minute stretch, otherwise it was ugly.

Caris and the seven dwarfs.

Caris, why do you pass?

At least we have the Lions tomorrow!

Too much Robinson and Irvin when the shots weren't falling

Asked below, but does Caris have a foul this half?

had Walton, Irvin and Robinson decided to show up and make some shots, long way to go for the season, I just hope this team improves and gives us some joy this year.

There's no way that this team should be this bad at offense with who we have on our team.

this was my first time getting to actually watch him and it was not good. 

In fairness, practice is just practice - this is his first high D1 action and it takes time to get used to the speed of this level. 

He's definitely not used to games played at this speed. 

Let's hope that's some of what we're seeing out of him right now. 

 

Irvin and spike got nothing so far. Team leaders need to play a much bigger role. With that said good comeback but still a work in progress

hell of a night, folks. 

 

Levert with two fouls!!! Sit him!!!!

First of all we didn't miss this many shots when we were good and when we did we had Morgan or McGary to clean it up. With hand picked big men by Beilein in Doyle and Donnal, we have no shot when we miss to rebound. Can we ever just get someone highly recruited coming in. Football is doing it. 

WTF is up with Zak?

I had to go back to work at halftime and was glad to leave. I have been around basketball in some capacity for 35 years and I say with confidence, this team is not good. I had high hopes coming into this year but I see no leadership, chemistry, or spark with this team. They are quite content to dribble down and chuck a brick or watch Caris. Running offense and playing offense is not optional if a team is going to win.

Double posted

The comeback was encouraging but man tonight looked like Levert and a bunch of scrubs. It hurts to say but it's true. I still believe we have the talent to be a good team but guys need to start improving. Leadership is also an issue. I'm not gonna give up because I know Beilein can coach his ass off but this start of the season has been frustrating. Oh well, at least we got HARBAUGH! Beat Ohio!

and dissapointed...I really thought we were going to be good this year...we clearly are not...poor defense..poor shooting missed freethrows,no offense what so ever except Levert..The rest of the team looks timid...I dont know .I really missed the boat on this one...we will have ZERO quality nonconference wins which is going to put us in a verhy bad position to make the tournament...what happened? 4 games in and I am not feeling good about this year at all

Yeah more internets for games. Thats how i knew we would lose. A win and we are on ESPN. Wasnt happening. Can we cash in Leverts 3 fouls for another game? Its kind of like saving first half timeouts for the end of the game in football. Smh

time for some cocktails!!

Missed out on some huge recruits over the past couple years and we still don't have a true big man. It'll be an uphill battle for at least another 2 years. Happy Thanksgiving. Go Blue and hammer the bucknuts!

Thinking we'd finally be good in both football and basketball for once was nice while it lasted, however brief

Only 8 assists.

Got to try to make lemonade out of lemons and take these next two games. The competition should be a little lower.

Still time to make a run and the season is young despite the team disappointing so far.

I believe the talent is there it's just more people than just Caris have to show up. Also team defense has to improve.

Anyway just get better every day and let's see what happens.
