MAAR helped steal a game. Thanks Z!!
February 3rd, 2018 at 4:57 PM ^
MAAR deserves a thread. perhaps even more clutch. he has won at least 2 games for us at the stripe this year.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
exactly what I thought when I saw the thread, we need to do way better at the line though, should have secured this game in regulation.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
Well, yes and no - he had two misses in the final minute of regulation to give Minn a chance.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:13 PM ^
For the game so right on Z’s pace
February 3rd, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
No one has a more stoic face at the free throw line. He drove us in the ditch, and out of the ditch in the final minutes. Great overall game. Love him in the clutch.
February 3rd, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
I mean... he did miss two in a row to help force overtime.
February 3rd, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
Are Always Fun!
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
Matthews? Simpson? Rahkman?
It takes a team effort to miss 16 free throws...
February 3rd, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
Matthews was known to be bad. it's the rest that are disappointing, Simpson especially IMO. you need your point guard handling the ball in crunch time. he's a huge liability in that sense. we can sub out Matthews, but not simpson
February 3rd, 2018 at 4:59 PM ^
now, if only he could make 80% of his FTA
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:23 PM ^
Or even 65%.
February 3rd, 2018 at 4:59 PM ^
he scored some points in OT, but this thread is way over the top. as a pg he needs to get the offense moving and get the ball to open guys. he didn’t do that for the most part
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
He missed all his open 3’s and he can’t hit a free throw. Guy has a long way to go. Neg away but sometimes the truth hurts. You
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
How many points did their guards score???
February 3rd, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
To play Devil's advocate, their guards weren't hitting good shots, they were throwing up circus prayers that somehow went in far more than statistically likely. He was also 6/6 from inside the arc, the only guy who could consistently score when he got inside.
February 3rd, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
But when their guards went to the free throw line...
February 3rd, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
He didn’t miss all of them.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:00 PM ^
MAAR looks so board shooting pressure free throws. Looks like my 8 year old son does when I try I pass on my my wisdom.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
is a funny misspelling.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
Makes troll post
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
The shit out of my wife and cats after screaming AND ONE! Great game, great determination by those kids.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
Z didn't play well most of the game.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
Manny should have fouled him on every drive. Against good coaching he can't finish the games. That is not phenomenal.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
They really like to make me sweat.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
Z made 7 of our 13 points in OT.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
that's what it takes to emerge.
Have seen it in previous years... sooner or later, they start hitting their stride.
I tuned in when the game started getting hot, but... liked what I heard.
And so it begins...
...Go Blue!!!
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:03 PM ^
I mean, Minnesota's two guards had 48 points and Simpson was 1-8 from 3. He did have some drives to the hoop but today wasn't one of his better efforts.
February 3rd, 2018 at 6:07 PM ^
Yeah, 1-8 on wide open threes is bad.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
It doesn’t take much I guess
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
I'm sorry but the dude had so many opportunities to take mid range jumpers and doesn't cause cannot shoot the ball. When He can start hitting buckets consistently other than layups then he'll deserve an appreciation.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
Z played well when he had to. Big win securing 4th and last BIG spot in the tourney.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
Looks like 2 guys almost lead Minnesota to an upset. Honestly glad Michigan does have to play them at the Barn.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
Uh.. can’t exactly call a guy who went 1-8 from three and is shooting under 50% from the free throw line on the season phenomenal. He’s an okay player who has his strengths, and has some glaring weaknesses that can really hurt this team in some games. He’s okay. You can say he’s good if you’d like. But phenomenal is a bit much. He’s not there yet
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:32 PM ^
Phenomenal sounds like an overreaction
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
Seems like they shouldn't have struggled so mightily with Minny though.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
We had to wait until a minute left in regulation for Z to get anything done. I appreciate what he did in OT. I just wish he could have done that a lot sooner.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
Honestly i think hes played pretty badly today and the past week or so.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
but every jump shot was a brick through through
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
It's not good that I can't tell if this is a parody thread or not
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
No. Should have taken him out. 0-7 from 3 for regulation and continues to be a horrific FT shooter. No.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:15 PM ^
Let’s pump the brakes till he makes a fucking free throw. Gonna lose us way more games than he wins us if he can’t get it done from the line.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Any chance the flu bug has hit some members of the team? That might be part of the reason they played so poorly.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
He was clutch in OT and that steal was huge so yes much appreciation. With that said this guys gotta work on fts this is ridiculous
February 4th, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
it'll come.
February 3rd, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Garbage selfish three with 15 on shot clock up 5 late
