Minnesota @ Michigan MBB Open Thread
Our guys try to move to 3-1 in the Big Ten against the 0-3 Gophers. Go Blue!

Gotta get better looks.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:31 PM ^
Too many empty possessions.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:31 PM ^
Both been good so far but the jump shots aren't falling.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:32 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:33 PM ^
This has all the makings of a classic Beilein loss. Awful three-point shooting, letting one guy beat you, and getting almost zero frontcourt production.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
Yep...though I think it'll be more than just one guy "beating" us
January 10th, 2015 at 1:33 PM ^
Minnesota making it look easy on us.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:33 PM ^
Sorry guys I tuned in when we were up 5, I should probably just stop watching.

must have much longer arms than it looks. he gets to the rim pretty easily for a guy listed at 6'9". maybe his bigger frame disguises it.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:36 PM ^
long arms.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:37 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:38 PM ^
Too many easy buckets.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
Caris HAS to make that. And who the hell is this King butthole?
January 10th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
Christ.

Question
Has any basketball team, NBA or college, ever won the national title without any emphasis on big men or such reliance on perimeter shooting?
Beilein's system may be effective, but it feels like the Phoenix Suns of the mid 2000s...
January 10th, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Even that run occurred because of the emergene of Mcgary. Without him, which is most of Beilein's tenure, we haven't had that kind of run. Morgan kinda made up for it the next year. Just seems like too much over reliance on perimeter play vs post play.

In general, Beilein doesn't focus on big men much. If you look at all the successful teams in the pros and college, they all have really good front courts with emphasis on post play.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^
Considering all of our big men have disappeared I don't think this season is an accurate representation.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
won a lot of titles. center was their least important position.

I know I'm late on this, but those uniforms are sick! I might have to pull a WD and get those.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:45 PM ^
Walton and Irvin have to wake up
January 10th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Actually that reverse was a bit underrated. Not for style but because it shows how good of coordination and court awareness Doyle really has. Can you imagine Morgan doing that? I can't and I'd imaine he'd turn to square up to the hoop (not for lack of athleticism).
January 10th, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
Walton has just been god awful as of late. Irvin will score points but only if he shoots the ball 30 times.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
Dawkins come on down.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:51 PM ^
You mean mass murder, homicide, execution, genocide with the three.

So soft inside there. Just terrible.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
Isn;t that the second travel they missed on this Elias guy?
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
0-8 from three. I mean come on.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
I'll take down 2 if we miss every three.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:51 PM ^
Its playing in the NBA apparently
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Levert found Zak and Doyle for open shots and neither converted
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Layin enough bricks to build a skyscraper this season.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Down only 2 while not hitting any 3's. Not pretty, but I'll take it.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
Lol 0-8 from 3.
January 10th, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
Should be in a buddy cop movie. "Lugs, Thugs and Harmony"
January 10th, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:51 PM ^
Let's score double digit points in the second half!
January 10th, 2015 at 1:51 PM ^
January 10th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
The problem is Walton and Irvin are 1-5
