Michigan vs. Nebraska Basketball Open Thread
First time that's ever been a subject line. Don't want to put too much into one game, but as a winnable road game coming off a loss, it'd be nice to get this one. 8:30 BTN (assuming MSU/PSU doesn't run long for some dumb reason). Go Blue, make it just like football.

Go Blue
February 8th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
we haven't lost consectutively this season, it's still disheartening to see losses @Iowa and @Arkansas. Avoid a slow start today and a W should be easy to pick up against one fo the bottom 2 in the Big Ten this year, which includes the anemic Penn State squad.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
Let's Go Blue!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
I'm nervous. Not sure how we're going to respond given our road history.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
We've been decent on the road this year.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
Huh? In every road game except Purdue (and Oakland, which was hardly a road game), we've fallen behind by a ton of points in the first half and ended up losing.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
Gus Johnson calling it tonight? Here's hoping
February 8th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
Methinks we are going to get delayed getting to the start of our game seeing as there is still 9:51 left in this one and it's already 8:08.
Yay BTN2Go.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
If THJ's first shot tonight is an uncalled for, early in the shot clock 3 pointer, I may just cry. We need him to bounce back. NOW! Go Blue!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Weak defensive opponent like this? I can see Beilein telling THJ at some point "Just go. Do shit. Figure it out."
February 8th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
But if Tim hoists up a quick three, that could be a sign that he still feels confident in his shot. We can't have him be tentative, either.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
I just want him to be aggressive. I want him to attack the basket and get to the FT line. He's the most athletic kid on the team. Use that athleticism and get to the rim.
Getting to the rim on your first couple shots can do wonders for confidence (especially somebody who's in a slump)
February 8th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
Thisi is a winnable game, but I really want it to be convincing. Things I'm looking for: I want Novak to hit some threes, Hardaway to contribute a little more scoring like we know he can, and Trey continuing his awesome freshman year.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
Beat the huskers!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:28 PM ^
Does anyone know of any potential free streams for the poor, btn-less amongst us?
February 8th, 2012 at 8:29 PM ^
Anyone else notice the "Beat Ohio" chant by the Izzone? Lol little brother...
February 8th, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^
Did they really chant that?
I don't know how to react...
February 8th, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^
this game is over. switch to ours.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:35 PM ^
Man, they need to tighten up those rims at the Breslin. Every touch of the rim results in a huge *CLANK*.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
With the way THJ has been playing lately, I wonder if benching him to start a game might be a good thing. Let him get a feel by watching and see what happens.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:37 PM ^
nah, we need him and he's in.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
where can i find the over/under for mentions of alex kozan in this thread?
February 8th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Good to see THj posting up, but I was hoping that shot would drop for him.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
man, you know you're cold when you miss that.
that will be there all night. thj has to take it with authority.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Novak with 1,000 career points!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
He's really having a nice senior season.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Congrats Zack!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
Their student section sounds like five or six dudes yelling.
Also, I hate it when people don't follow their shot for a possible offensive rebound. That is just laziness, but I think at all levels of basketball, that occurs.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
Sometimes that's by design. Against MSU, we frequently dropped three guys everytime a shot went up to prevent them from getting in transition.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:54 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
Novak with 1000 career points!!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
Nothing is falling easy for TH lately. That was a nice move to the basket that just didn't fall.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
1000 career points for Novak.
Thank you Zack.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
Winning this game in a blowout would send a message.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:43 PM ^
Against Nebraska?
February 8th, 2012 at 8:43 PM ^
Adam Smotrycz just came off the bench... maybe this is Evan's alter ego who can shoot threes, handle the ball, and hustle on defense.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:44 PM ^
February 8th, 2012 at 8:44 PM ^
That Curious George reading commercial was the most annoying thing I've seen all week.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
This seems like as good a time as any to start reading your posts in Hawking's voice.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
Oh Stu...
February 8th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
WTF, Stu??
February 8th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Hardaway is playing like a sack of nuts.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
To be fair, so is nearly everyone else.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
man, NU keeps missing, but we gotta hit some shots too.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
damn it Smotrycz
February 8th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
Smotrycz....
February 8th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
We're doing diddly-poo offensively. Go inside!!!
