Michigan Game Thread

[wadesworld]

Like I said, a bunch of chicken littles. I don't care if we lose by 79 on ESPN or by 1 with no broadcast in 5 overtimes. A loss is a loss. Some people get into moral victories. Not my thing personally. Different strokes for different folks.

If getting blown out on ESPN embarrasses you then turn the game off.

News flash: we weren't going undefeated. Shocker.

It's a pattern. Some coaches know how to coach defense and some do not. Wojo does not. Defense is atrocious. Wide open shots every possession.

Could it be the guys just can't execute?

Guess we don't shoot 3's anymore? WTF?

Just a reminder we've got game chat back...

Who said that?

We have a bunch of fans who have been sitting on their thumbs the first 2 games and now suddenly we're getting blown out and out of the woodwork they come

Fans? No, just a-holes like warriorfan14 who only posts when we are losing.

[wadesworld]

Problem is there are lot of gutless fans out there.

Bingo.

Some see a pattern with the issues we're seeing tonight. Some will look at this as one game. Both can make a strong case. Put your fan police badge away

We've been a second half team all season. So, we've got 'em right where we want 'em.

Time to start shooting from the outside and stop relying on Fischer, whose shot is not on tonight.

I like how you think.

Soooooo, what's everybody drinking? Glad I picked up the 32oz can.

This looks a lot like last year.  1 pass and then drive to the hoop.  Lots of standing around on offense.  MU seems intimidated by Mich's size/length. 

The D is really bad.  Doubling, getting off balance or out of position to close on the 3's.  Mich knocking down open shots much like MU did vs Vandy.

The tough part is once the roster balances out between front and back court Fischer is gone.  Feel bad for him.  He's a good player.

14 turnovers, 3 Three point attempts, no points by a non-starter.

This is what's irritating me. If you want to build a team around 4 shooters then drive and kick and let it fly. Don't abandon what you built yourself to be because you had some early struggles.

We outscored Vanderbilt by 25 in the second half. Michigan should be absolutely freaking terrified right now. Terrified. They didn't do near enough in the first half.

I've been saying for years...MU can't win in gray jerseys in national TV.

Bad as we've been, Michigan really isn't all that impressive.

I'd argue that they have been this game.  Very, very active defense against out perimeter guys, excellent movement on offense.  While we may have been playing bad, I think it is because Michigan dictated it by their defense.

I just love that this can be a thing so quickly.

You watching the same game?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

You don't think Michigan's perimeter defense has been good?  We don't only have three 3-pt attempts, one a heave at the end of the half, for no reason.

Lol I love your optimism but....

[tower912]

Time to warrior up.  The second half will tell us more than the first.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Two possessions two walks.

Yeah, two turnovers and  two jack up threes to start.  Ugh

[Herman Cain]

JJJ nice steal and slam

[BM1090]

Guys, this sucks...but we all would have taken 3-1. Let's beat Pitt tomorrow.
