Open Thread: M Basketball vs Iowa at home
Game at Noon eastern/ 11 Central. Some Iowa fans smell an upset. I think they will be upset after we win. Go Blue!

I think I may have underrated Iowa, they look like a tournament team so far...
I've been down on Iowa all year (even their close loss against IU, I put on IU playing bad, not Iowa being, you know, good) but their defense l Basabe/Woodbury/Clemens trio could do damage
January 6th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
rim on long rebounds...damn-figure it out.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
No flow offensively and some poor rotations on defense have put us in a hole.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
When was the last time we were down? Seems like its been forever
January 6th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
we can't shoot at all today..nothing is falling
January 6th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
He is horrible today...out of position on every play.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
That's a weak call on Morgan. Sullinger did that his ehole career and never got called.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
McGary with the block!! A great D is all UM is missing right now
January 6th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
With the dunk!!, UM still down though
January 6th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
Methinks we underestimated our opponent out of the gate after that curbstomping at NW. Coming down to earth.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
we are just cold from outside thus far. That will change!!
January 6th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
We got off to a sloppy start but this is the first good team we've played in a while. We're getting our rhythm but I wouldn't expect Iowa to be pushovers even then.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
Now that's just fun right there...
January 6th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
GRIII dunks never get old.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
love GR3
January 6th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
GR3 Boom
January 6th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
"He's pretty good!"
January 6th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Nasty alley-oop is nasty
January 6th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
We're in for a dogfight here
January 6th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Michigan has to protect the basket. Too many easy buckets and too many players getting position inside with no resistance.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Hardaway is playing horribly. needs to sit the rest of the half at least
January 6th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
On both ends of the floor
January 6th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Box out and close out on open shooters. The rest is cream cheese.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
but I get the feeling once we really get going, this will look like a different game
I mean we're playing pretty average and we're right there, just a matter of time
January 6th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
Fug Iowa
January 6th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
I think it's a testament to how good this team is that we can shoot poorly, get relatively outplayed, and still be only down 2 or 3. All it takes is one little streak where we shoot well (which this team is more than capable of) to take control of this game.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
Levert having an impact so far
January 6th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
He's getting some confidence and it's showing.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:31 PM ^
Coach B abuses teams with his inbounds plays under the bucket.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Horford is dressed for the game, good to see that, at least we know he'll be back soon if not this game
January 6th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Timmay!
January 6th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Marble has a sweet Tigers tat
TIMMMAY, up 3!
January 6th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
He's from Southfield
January 6th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
I know. Clemmons is from Lansing, so they have two Michigan guys in their starting 5.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
Off to a shaky start, but Michigan looked good getting these 26 points.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Caris Levert is a year away from being a beast, he'll make (a lot) of mistakes this year, but watch out for the sophomore version
January 6th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
Levert could end up being like Buford. A role player early playing with NBA talent, then a star when he develops as an upperclassman.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
and as I say that we give up a 4 pt play...
January 6th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
That was a foul?!?!?!?!
January 6th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
i didn't see any contact at all there lol
January 6th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Terrible foul call on Burke take that back please.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
fouls are free today!!
WTF!!
January 6th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
call, jesus
January 6th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
He didn't touch him.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
Jesus, play ball. 2 bigs got mixed up. Big deal.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:37 PM ^
Um did u see McGary's nose?
January 6th, 2013 at 12:56 PM ^
It happens man. When you're playing a guy that is 3" taller, you're going to catch some elbows. Mitch is the type of guy that you don't want to hit in the nose, because he'll stop thinking and just start playing his balls off. It didn't look to be malicious or anything. That guy is all bones and elbows. Mitch will put him on his hip take him for a ride if he wants to get physical around the paint.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
I didnt see what the big deal was either. It happens...
January 6th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
elbow in the face to mcgary for sure
