Michigan vs Rutger Open Thread: What’s in your glass, what’s in your pipe?
February 5th, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
All I know is MSU and Duke are both losing as big favorites.
February 5th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
Just sippin on some water.
Cassius with 7 turnovers in less than a half.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Z will make him his bitch, again.

Illinois is playing a track meet and had created 16 (last I saw and that was at the 5:45 mark) turnovers. More than a turnover a minute at that point. Winston having a terrible game and a helluva time with the pressure defense drom Illinois. Illinois has hit some 3s but I'm not sure they've been the best looks at times so I don't expect them to be able to keep hitting those as Sparty adjusts at the half (not that they haven't run some good half court sets taking advantage of subpar Sparty defense). It's been a crazy game to watch.
February 5th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
I think this game is Sparty’s to lose. I have faith they can pull that off.

I'm in Las Vegas for a meeting the next few days. Just made my first sports bet - taking Michigan and -9.5
Drinking a Dr. Pepper right now and plan on sipping a Macallen 18 a little bit later tonight.
Let's Go Blue and demolish Rutger!

You and I may be the only whisky drinkers tonight. Ardbeg here.

I'm polishing off a glass of Johnnie Walker Black -- does that count?

Islay scotch? Whoa, that's a wild ride man. Enjoy.
February 5th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
Dogfish Head the Perfect Disguise DIPA. Highly recommend. Apple Pie in the other. Also recommend if you come across. Let’s fuck the Rutger up tonight. No more shooting funk. Go Blue!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Eh start.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Is Matthews going to show up tonight?
February 5th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Seems pretty loud in there. Also looks like a high school gym. I guess being dead ass broke will do that
February 5th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Well Rutgers certainly ain’t pushovers.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Let’s get these bball game threads and previews up sooner!
But more importantly, Let’s Go Blue!!!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Their on!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Good start. Rutgers Ds up.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Offense looks sharp so far - nice, nice passing and ball movement
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Yes, we’ve been waiting for this! Keep it rolling!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
X is on fire tonight. Those are a couple of the prettiest passes you'll ever see.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
I’m the biggest critic of Matthews but he has done great on the offensive end so far.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
Great start. Matthews to the rim is pure oxygen.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
And then there is this team that shows up every so often.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
That was a sexy eurostep by Matthews. Wow.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
Hooray for a good start. Go Blue!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
Also mic check for the BTN. What is with this sound situation?
Keep it up team.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
I like when Michigan pushes the tempo, at least at times - seems to get Matthews going, and prevents opponents from getting into a comfortable defense.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
More fast breaks, more tempo. These guys have the vision and hands to make it happen.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
No question. Don't think they have the depth to play track meet the whole game, but they can really bust games open when they put the pedal down
February 5th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Well, I feel like Michigan is smart about it -- run when you have an advantage; play half-court when you don't.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
In my glass is Northern Lights. In my other glass is Freakshow Lodi Red Zin.
very happy to see 1 sink a 3
February 5th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Damn. That strain has been around forever. Oldie but goodie.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
first strain i ever tried in 2004. nostalgia in a bowl. love it.
February 5th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Yup. Used to puff that in high school. Been on a blue dream / white widow kick the last few years. Got some Hindu Kush and Super Silver Haze somewhere too. Love the older strains.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Wow Mathews!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Michigan's defense is just destroying Rutger - and Matthews is on fire!
February 5th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Charles is much better when he is decisive with the ball off of the catch. Whether it's a catch and shoot, or a catch and drive, he is a much better offensive player when he simply let's his basketball instincts take over.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Zavier Simpson has such a high basketball IQ! He seems to always make the right play. He's continuing a standard of excellent point guard play at Michigan.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
I see you Mathews
February 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Matthews is shutting my ass up.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Matthews is en fuego
February 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Alright, Charles. 3/3, 2/2 FTs?
February 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
I like this version of Charles Matthews a lot better.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
So far, the only thing that's really gone wrong is that Rutgers made that hook shot to take a 4-3 lead, ruining Michigan's chance to lead wire-to-wire for the 11th time this year.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Hey dad, I can't see real good. Is that Kobe Bryant over there?
February 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
I love this Charles Matthews. Truly think for him, it’s seeing ball go in. That first step through on the drive layup was big. You all remember Charles from Maui last year? Wow, if we could get half of that guy I would be one happy dude.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Redbreast 12. Offense is looking much better tonight.
February 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Rutger isn’t even half good dude.
