just a touch sloppy, but the best 1H energy in a week.

UM is holding a special #BowtiesForJude day on Sunday at Crisler Center to bring awareness to Jude Stamper’s Arthrogryposis Multi-Congenital disorder with Escobar Syndrome, which prevents him from getting normal bend in his joints. Beilein signed Stamper, a boy from Monroe, during a special ceremony in November and has attended practices, film sessions and games.

Good to see Duncan regaining his stroke
January 21st, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
20-4 run.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
....Robinson and the defense have been key.

This entire team, but especially Matthews and Simpson, need to work on finishing around the rim. FTs for both of them too. They should spend a lot of workout time together this summer.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
You drive. Have a good to great look at the rim. Miss. No you are at the line for two way more than you should be. Should only be one shot after a make. And then you are awful at free throws and shooting more of them than you should. It’s probably a difference of 2-5 points per game for each of them. Easily.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Rutgers making a run, and it's a game again.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
Refs ever going to call those push offs under the rim??
January 21st, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
would be nice (obviously) to see Z complete the 3 point play.
Hit the FT!
January 21st, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
great stroke that time

This game shouldn't be this close. They're mainly in this game because poor shooting in the beginning from Michigan and rebounding airballs under the rim.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
January 21st, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
please make these FTs, MAAR

Is that why Rice and Rose are there?

Starters on offense are slumping badly right now. Oof.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Rutgers only has 21 points. Making less than a third of their shots. Went over 9 minutes without making a field goal and 8 minutes without a point. Yet we're only ahead by 6 at the half. Ugh.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure 3 of our 4 lowest scoring first halves this season have come in the last 3 games, with this one tied with our first half point total against UCLA.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
that was a dogshit half on O; especially by maar and matthews
January 21st, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^

Not worried about losing this game yet, but it feels like it'll be an ugly slog till the end. As long as we win, that should be fine to close this stretch.

January 21st, 2018 at 12:51 PM ^
Our guys *do* know that basketball halves last 20 minutes and not 10, right?!?!
January 21st, 2018 at 12:51 PM ^
Defense has been great. 21 points for Rutgers on 0 assists (!!!), which means all their offense has come on putbacks or iso/hero-ball stuff which I'm cool with.
Offense is still struggling. Robinson is the only reason we're winning, he's the only one who can hit shots. Matthews and Simpson have both missed a couple layups again. Offense is frusturating, but we've been lacking energy all week. Probably a result of the packed schedule and emotional let down from playing Purdue/MSU to Maryland/Nebraska/Rutgers. Offense clearly isn't great this year but it's not this bad. Get through today with a win and then we have until Thursday to rest for @Purdue. The offense will get better long term.
January 21st, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Nebraska and Rutgers are defensively anchored teams, but it's still a bit disconcerting watching our offense lately.
