Beat Iowa Game Thread
Mates,
Kick off in 15 minutes. The front page basically says it's a toss-up. If we make our 3's we will be just fine. Miss them, and trouble lurks, though we were only 4-20 from 3 in Iowa City and still won. Let's hope Diabate stops K. Murray and Hunter feasts.
Meanwhile, ohio is thumping sparty with just a few minutes left in that game. Could still be a meteor strike, but at least sparty will extend their losing to something like 7 out of the last 9.
Go Blue, beat Iowa!

Michigan has played really shitty defense tonight. But on the possessions when they have played good defense the refs promptly bail out Iowa.
We don’t play D. We don’t rebound. We turn the ball over. We can’t shoot. What exactly do we do at practice!?!?!?!
Sorta kinda hanging around. In a way.
Sorta.
Kinda.
Martelli drawing up the 16-0 run coming out of timeout.
Iowa at 1.36 PPP. Which has been going down all half.
This is so embarrassing. Especially so for Eli on senior night.
So many poor performances tonight. It’s really not explainable, given the importance of the game and where they are in the hunt for a NCAA birth. No one looks into it.
I hate the "effort" posts. They are shooting 60% from 3. Half that and we're winning.. Lots of them have been garbage
mbrummer, sure Iowa is shooting a blistering percentage. But Bohanon is a known deep-3PT shooter and has been left wide wide open multiple times. They’ve played under the 3PT line against Keegan Murray because they’re worried about his dribble penetration. Plenty of iowas 3PT makes have been quality looks.
come on boys. Dig deep
Don't tease me like this!
Capitalize. Iowa is doing everything they can to aid the comeback punish them
Michigan should always be able to impose its will on Iowa through sheer recruiting prowess. What a damn shame.
Now have to play desperate against a talented OSU squad at Columbus... low chance of a W.
Team most likely misses the tournament altogether. Starting #6 in the country only to implode like this...
Juwan will have his work cut out for him next season.
Man, Diabate missing the front end hurts, it would be a 7 pt deficit with possession right now, too many missed FT's tonight.
Michigan shows signs of life and gives me...hope? Is that a good thing?
@JDraman
Agreed.. The spread is now 9 . 2 of Bohanan's were off the dribble and perkins's was late clock chuck. 1-2 Murrays not goood looks either .. that's 5 that they are 100% on
Diabate has been a complete shit show tonight
I still don't think that Iowa is a very good team. They've got ONE Quad 1 win. ONE! Rutgers has SIX!
Iowa has beaten up on all the teams BELOW them in the Big Ten standings. Rutgers has beaten each of the other teams among the top eight in the Big Ten.
Pretty safe to say Diabate is coming back his sophomore year
The body language has been bad most of the night. Lackadaisical play. Just really unexplainable.
Has Diabate ever won a battle for a loose ball?
Also, idgaf what anyone says, Diabate and Houstan have no business thinking they're NBA ready, they have way too much to improve upon.
There's Diabate again with weak ass hands losing the ball under the basket..
Team must really hate Jones and Eli since they're playing like this.
Eli is our guy!
The Wolverines are staging a great comeback! Go Blue!
Can Jett shoot? This recruiting non-shooters thing needs to stop
Why the heck was Diabate giving help? He's been so bad, and his basketball IQ is nil.
Terrified of where this team will be without Eli next year
Diabate is having a really rough game.
Fucking turnovers
as absolutely horrible as this has been, if you make a couple of free throws (4-8) and either make one more three or actually have iowa only hit, say, 50% of their threes, this is a one or two point game. but alas, it's michigan.
Fucking Jones
Lmao another turnover
Ugghh turnover
Jones 🤦🏻♂️
2 turnovers in a row by Jones.
Devante Jones seals the game with those two boneheaded turnovers.
If Diabate doesn't play tonight, Michigan wins.
Diabate has had a real “Brandon Johns” game tonight.
Diabate sure chose a bad game to have the worst game of the year.
The fucking entry passes fuck
That will do it.
Good effort at the end. Bring that to Columbus.
Moussa is fucking awful.
Mother fucking Jones, it's like he's a double agent with these shit ass passes.
If you foul Bohannon, foul him HARD! Get your money's worth.
Diabate is so uncoordinated
A loss to Ohio state and the season is over.
What a let down this team is.
0 chance they win in Columbus.
Will need 2-3 wins in the BTT.
NIT bound.
I'm looking forward to reading about how this game was lost because Eli is short.
It’s very obvious on this blog who hasn’t played competitive ball and who has.
