It's possible the event is sold out but people simply didn't show up tonight.
February 28th, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
And most won't go to both games. So there will be empty seats even in the high-demand games. Picked up my ticket at StubHub this evening and they actually had a young human who was happy to listen to my problems with their website last night. He said I wasn't alone, and it wasn't my browser (I tried two). Said the site was running unusually slowly because of the high ticket demand. Lots of Michigan fans/alumni in the NYC area, and I for one am thrilled I get to see this group live.
But I can certainly understand the oddness and inconvenience for most of the fan base.

I am thinking that the BTN got a local high school to do the video production on the Tournament between the random silent shots of MSG and just now when the time notations on the playback were actually on the screen.

I would prefer to see illinois over Iowa

Both these teams are just sprinting up and down the court every time. Really fast paced game, which leads to some good basketball to watch at times and terrible basketball at other times.
Illinois is getting a tight whistle but they also look very poorly coached on the whole.
February 28th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
February 28th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
get back in the game and exhaust both teams!
February 28th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Somebody want to explain the random numbers? I can't be the only one who's lost.
February 28th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
WTF is this all about?

Guy is setting up a Michigan discord server for live chats during BTT games, this is his way of verifying people so no trolls are in it
February 28th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
and where is this?
February 28th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
There's a topic on the board entitled Discord Server that he used to start it but the thread seems broken on desktop (working on the mobile app). Guy is MGoArchive, as for link you'd have to ask him.

gets elbow to the face and a foul called on him. Intentional or not an elbow to the face is at least a personal.

Wouldn't be the first time I had this problem
February 28th, 2018 at 7:18 PM ^
I like it!

February 28th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
what's your name on the Discord server?
February 28th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Not up on your 80s music, I see? Or at least, not a Tommy Tutone fan? :) (For a good time, call..)

Better take Iowa seriously and take care of business
February 28th, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
Yep. Iowa can go off on occasion. But so can we. Plus, we play defense which makes us a completely different species than Illinois.
February 28th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
If Michigan gets whistled for 30 fouls, it's going to be a long 2 weeks until the NCAA tournament starts.
I don't think Michigan is going to get whistled for 30 fouls. :)

Did he just refer to Rutgers Nation? Is that a thing? I mean, I'm not even sure they have Rutgers Township.
February 28th, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
February 28th, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
Not a Day 1 post but I did nab a ticket on StubHub for the afternoon session tomorrow, looking forward to it!

"Obviously, tonight, Rutgers will have the home court advantage."
I'm not convinced Rutgers would have a home court advantage if this game were being played in Piscataway. That might even be true if they played the game in one of the Rutgers dorms.
February 28th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
I don't get statements made like this at all. NYC does not care about Rutgers, especially Rutgers basketball. No one cares at all! The only team who really has a home court advantage compared to anyone else really is St Johns as they play half a dozen of their home games at the Garden every year.
February 28th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
If announcers had to speak the truth:
"Obviously, tonight, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about."
" 'Tonight'? Don't you mean every night?" [Laughter]

Real barnburner here in the second game
