Deserved to lose. Historically horrible game.
49 points is high school stuff.
Great season but tonight was ridiculous.
Hats off to UCLA.

Great season. Hate to see it end like that.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:07 AM ^
We played like shit but the refs were shit too. Oh well.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
The refs didn’t miss the last eight shots.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:30 AM ^
Or go 6 for fucking 11 from the free throw line. Maybe they should practice them. I don’t want to be that super athletic team that races up and down the court and can’t shoot free throws or hit threes.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:32 AM ^
total embarrassment.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:14 AM ^
UCLA 14 fouls-UM 11. Didn't really seem too biased either way. The only problem with the officiating was that it was inconsistent. Would let them play one minute then get ticky-tacky another minute.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:21 AM ^
In response to your comment as well as those below - the inconsistent calls were the garbage I mentioned above.
Full on shove = no call
Full on shove later (by us) = call
Ticky tack no-call on them
Ticky tack call on us.
Gotta be tough to play that way knowing the refs can't figure out when a foul is a foul.
And see above to those downvoting where I prefaced the ref comment with us playing like shit. Guess y'all missed that part.
Eh, the only two times I got angry at the refs was when UCLA complained about a non existent foul on an airball and the refs immediately called a charge on UM when the defender was not remotely set. There was also a foul on UCLA that should have been a hook and hold flagrant that they didn't review. Besides that I honestly thought the refs were not nearly as bad as the first couple of games and didn't really tip this game towards either team.
11 is also misleading. Michigan had to get 3 more just to get UCLA to shoot free throws. That's a 2 to 1 advantage in favor of Michigan. I knew someone would bitch about the refs as people always do.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
The refs? Please don't start with that, gimme a break. We played like garbage tonight. Don't do that.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
Double post because this website is slow as hell.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:16 AM ^
I was outraged by the officiating in the first two games, this one was fine.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:24 AM ^
A pissing match broke out between two of the refs. Never seen that before. It really ruined the flow of the game.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:22 AM ^
the refs were the least of it. they didnt play well.
juwan and the fellas put together a strong season though. his teams will be fun to follow going forward
March 31st, 2021 at 12:50 AM ^
refs are always going to have some bad calls. but they let both teams play for the most part tonite. it's probably the best reffed game i've seen this tourny. which is shocking because bo borowski was one of them.
They made some bad calls (especially on the flops), but that's literally every basketball game. This came down and missed shots man, not refs.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:08 AM ^
There’s a reason they say guards win championships. Michigan’s were awful tonight.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
Did they even get a chance? They were clearly told to feed the post and Dickinson and Davis were told to put it up every single time. There's targeting the opponents weakness and then there's whatever that was. We watched an incredibly efficient offense turn into volume shooting from a guy who will only shoot over his left shoulder. I love Dickinson but what in the actual F was that gameplan? First blemish on Juwan's record. They were playing slow and scared against a team that was not even in the top 10 of toughest opponents we've played. We basically mimicked their offense but substituting Dickinson for Juzang. Absolutely baffling.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:24 AM ^
Franz should have been the difference maker in a game like this. He wasn’t. He was 1/10.
If Wagner thinks he's a pro he's insane, not nearly even as good as his brother. 4 points? The guy can't shoot and to me is as overrated as it gets.
Winning the B1G and losing in the Elite Eight with a team that started the season unranked, was picked to finish 6th in the conference, has zero McDonald's All-Americans and zero five star recruits, and lost one of its best players on the eve of the tournament is not a blemish.
He has no blemishes on his record as far as I'm concerned. He pulled a rabbit out of a hat in getting this far.
Who was going to make plays? Brooks is not a creator. He can shoot 3s and sometimes has some nice smart moves like cutting at the right time, but he's absolutely not a slasher. Mike Smith had the Maryland game, but he's been much worse since Livers went out. He's fine but his size is a problem and he also has tons of trouble inside the arc. His overall FG% is actually worse than from 3, so he only hits like 40% from inside the arc. It's a good passing team and things worked great when you had another weapon like Livers and guys can move it around, but there are really just no creators on the team.
Chaundee was the man, but they didn't feed him enough.
Exactly. I thought Chaundee should've played even more than he did once Livers was hurt. He should've taken minutes from Wagner. Last night was the type of game where Chaundee could've been more aggressive. I wish he would have, because i'd take a Chaundee contested 3 pointer over a wide open Wagner 3 pointer any day of the week. It boggles my mind how bad Wagner's mid to 3 point shooting is, how it hasn't seemed to improve at all. Honestly, Michigan winning the regular season and going as far as they did was pretty amazing considering the talent they had. Mike Smith I never liked, he did play well and ran the offense...But he couldn't come up with big baskets like a Burke or even Simpson. Even if Wagner leaves, I think Michigan will be in position to get back to the Final Four IF they can get better play out of their guards.

Missed Isaiah badly today. Good season. Looking forward to next year.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:36 AM ^
I'll admit I can be overly hard on Livers but goddamn that felt like an easy win with him on the floor today.
For real. So easy to imagine him draining 4 3s and getting a couple nice buckets at the rim.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
Outclassed end of story..
Zero offense other than throw it to dickinson
Got literally no one else involved and we let Wagner take two horrific fucking shots to end the game instead of brown or brooks..
Just comical
On the plus side, Wagner looked nothing like a 1st rounder
March 31st, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
Where's Moe Wagner when you need him?
March 31st, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
Wagner not getting drafted is a plus? Coulda fooled me. Why do you want that inconsistent choker back?
March 31st, 2021 at 12:21 AM ^
Oh no! I got neg voted by a bunch of idiot fanboys who can't handle honesty! How can I go on with life?????
March 31st, 2021 at 12:58 AM ^
Seek help. Or sober up.
Big losses bring out a lot of trash fans, but this one takes the cake.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
Game plan sucked. Howard showed that he's a second year coach. Too bad is worst coaching job was tonight.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:19 AM ^
His brother certainly isn't him, that's for sure. One of the worst performances I've seen from an individual player.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:23 AM ^
Umm the first was an incredibly clean open look and the second was with .5 seconds left. What the hell are you even on about?
He had passed up several open looks earlier in the game.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:37 AM ^
Wagner's looks were fine. The actual shots though weren't good.
Outclassed? And with 17 upvotes? In what world was that getting outclassed.
UM took waaayyy better shots throughout the game and lost.
A buzzer beater game is not being outclassed. you complain about being one player focused? Check out the box score. This is a terrible take.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
There’s a reason they say guards win championships. Michigan’s were awful tonight.

Schizophrenic post. Historically bad but credit to the opponent? Can’t have it both ways. I say we sucked and ucla profited.

So you are happy Wagner lost $ tonight? Great fan here.
March 31st, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
He's obviously saying he thinks Wagner could be back without a 1st round grade..
I'd personally rather get Brown back than Wagner.

Arby’s was founded in Boardman, Ohio, on July 23, 1964, by Forrest and Leroy Raffel, owners of a restaurant equipment business who thought there was a market opportunity for a fast food franchise based on a dish other than hamburgers. The brothers wanted to call their restaurants "Big Tex", but that name was already used by an Akron business. Instead, they chose the name "Arby's," based on R. B., the initials of Raffel Brothers; although often mistaken for Roast Beef.
