Michigan vs. CMU Game Thread
Third game this season that's not on tv. BTN Plus. All this money and the Big Ten Conference can't figure out how to televise our games? 7 pm

BTN Plus, where the plus means "not better".
No thanks.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:03 PM ^

If you have a popup blocker or know how to navigate streaming sites. I'm watching that link now, definitely works.

They used to have SD channels for mediocre games. Michigan spoils us. Other teams aren't on tv as much as us
December 29th, 2022 at 7:04 PM ^
Iowa and Nebraska are playing on BTN but I don’t get why they only use the BTN alternative channels during football season
December 29th, 2022 at 7:08 PM ^
So they can suck more money out of people
December 29th, 2022 at 7:07 PM ^
Fuck these greedy bastards! I'm hunting for a free live stream, my main site didn't have it.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:17 PM ^
I could be the richest man in the world and wouldn't pay for BTN+ on principle. Fuck em.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:11 PM ^
BTN minus is usually just a live stream of the jumbotron hooked up to a radio broadcast. Crappy coverage not worth paying for.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:21 PM ^
Dug is probably the player Michigan can most afford to use.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:22 PM ^
Any updates on the game rather than discussion of the failings of BTN?
December 29th, 2022 at 7:23 PM ^
Dug went down hurt. Maybe his nose as he ran into a screen. Looking pretty rough, no real offense being run.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:26 PM ^
Hunter shaved his beard and now has a new nickname -Baby Face.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:22 PM ^
Fingers crossed McDaniel's okay.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:32 PM ^
He's back in the game.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:25 PM ^
Cheddar is hauling in some rebounds.
18-13 Michigan 8:08 left in the first half
December 29th, 2022 at 7:28 PM ^
Should there be media timeouts when the game is on BTN minus and not on TV at all?
December 29th, 2022 at 7:29 PM ^
Michigan continues to look awful on the boards and on defense.
Offense seems pretty out of sync so far, with Hunter barely getting touches. Overall it's another game where Michigan looks like one of the worst teams in the conference and struggling against inferior teams.
They need to get into transition more.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
Not looking great
December 29th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
CMU with a lot of offensive rebounds.
23-17 Michigan at the under 4 time out
December 29th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
All of the non guards except Hunter are just awful when they have the ball more than two seconds.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:39 PM ^
The offense just has no rhythm at the moment. They can't sustain any kind of run. They just aren't getting better, they're the same team as game 1 for the most part. There's just no way they make the tournament, at this rate.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:39 PM ^
Nothing's changed. There's no passion, purpose or connectivity on either end of the floor with this team until they get desperate.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:39 PM ^
Jett has a great shot, but most of our guys are just guys, not dudes
December 29th, 2022 at 7:43 PM ^
Tied up, looking very, very rough.
FT are also an issue along with being awful at rebounding.
Jett Howard just standing there watching Williams get absolutely cooked and doesn't rotate into the wide open paint. He's useless on defense.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:43 PM ^
Hunter with the rare quadruple-team.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:44 PM ^
The lack of a quality forward is going to sink this team
December 29th, 2022 at 7:46 PM ^
That, and the bad shooting, and only having one freshman to play PG.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:44 PM ^
This is just a bad team. Like playing in the first round of the B1G tournament bad.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:45 PM ^
Halftime
28-27 Michigan
Joey Baker makes a 3 pointer with 6 seconds left.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:46 PM ^
Dug is just not running the offense, he is scoring but there have been multiple times where Hunter doesn’t get a touch for three straight possessions. That just can’t happen.
December 29th, 2022 at 8:00 PM ^
Yeah...I mean, come on now...Hunter has 5 points at the half vs CMU. FIVE!!!!!!
He should have 15, minimum.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:46 PM ^
BTN+ announcers, 28-27 at the half, "Barn Burner".
December 29th, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
I would say that our level of play smells like something you’d find in our barn….
December 29th, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
The same announcers who refer to one of our players as "Will Tess-cheddar?" Yeah, probably a reason they're on BTN+.
December 29th, 2022 at 8:42 PM ^
Not sure who is worse us or the officials.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:47 PM ^
Michigan up 1 at the half. They look horrible out there. This looks a like bottom 4 B1G team without a doubt.
Hot take, I'd be totally cool canning Howard at the end of the year if they miss the tournament.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
You'll get pushback, but year to year regression is definitely concerning. I can't really name anything these teams have gotten better at.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:56 PM ^
If you have better credentials you should put in your long resume. Seriously.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
Getting out rebounded is an ongoing issue. Rebounding is about fundamentals and effort and this team lacks both of those qualities, in multiple areas.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
Ugh
28-27 at the break.
It seems pretty obvious we're now a football and women's basketball school.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
Hunter is 2-5 from the field, 1-2 from the line with one rebound but no fouls.
Bufkin got in foul trouble and played only 8 minutes.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:50 PM ^
Central Michigan has losses to Marquette (allowed 97 points to them), Minnesota, High Point, California Baptist, Robert Morris, Tulsa, Missouri State, and Youngstown State. The last 2 losses were by double digits. So of course Michigan is barely ahead at halftime.
December 29th, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
Juwan is lost when it comes to lineups . Terrible coaching job this year . Out rebounded by cmu 21-14 in first half is pathetic
December 29th, 2022 at 7:59 PM ^
I have one question and I'm serious. With this team I'd like you to come up with a lineup that you'd use. That you yourself thinks would work at this juncture. Down a guard that practiced the offense and now we have a true freshman that doesn't know the offense. I know it's Juwan's fault.
December 29th, 2022 at 8:07 PM ^
Who built the roster?
December 29th, 2022 at 8:47 PM ^
Your strawhat! Can you read?
December 29th, 2022 at 8:01 PM ^
Outside of Kobe, Jett, Hunter & Joey, who knows their role on this team?
