Game Thread - Men's Hoops - Michigan at MSU - 9:00 pm tip - Peacock

Howard is such a fucking joke of a coach. He's truly destroyed this program.

Clinging to a 10 pt deficit.

What a joke. Glad I'm not watching. But I'm still hooked to track online

Our defense needs to be defenestrated.

Tuned in briefly after I got home from dinner but I can't do it. It's just not fun when we look like this.

Ok I'm out. Hope that helps

If we end up covering the spread, it will be a moral victory on the road. /s

Should try shooting free throws from the 3 pt line.  The percentage is higher.

It’s amazing just how truly shitty this team becomes in 2Hs of games. They are usually quite competitive in the first half. But then it just all goes to hell—and really fast, too. 

What's the opposite of a boa constrictor? That's how the basketball team operates. Give ya a big squeeze in the 1H, then just let go and let you eat us. 

Outscored by 17 in the first 9 minutes of the second half in

We will hear Martelli praising Sadi Washington’s defensive coaching on Sam Webb’s show again . This is laughable the players that don’t see their man and ball at same time . 

Juwan has been standing with the same dumbfounded look for the last 4 possessions.  Just sit down already 

Remember when RichRod’s teams would come out in the first half and look like they had figured something out, and maybe went into halftime tied or leading a good team, and then the other team would adjust at halftime and blow Michigan’s doors off in the second half? Not sure what made me think of that in this moment…

Damn I would love for Juwan to revamp like Harbaugh and succeed, but I just don't see it. He loves Michigan and that is clear. But we have been consistently worse since Beilein's players moved on. Less fundamentals, less discipline, but most of all, less effort. These players are not being coached to their potential.
Juwan said in an interview he isn't great at making guys have passion to play--that's an enormous red flag for a college coach, and sounds more like somebody best suited for the Association. 

Michigan dog says WOOF.

You know things are bad when you have more turnovers than field goals in the half. Embarrassing 

Embarrassing once again. Good thing only 10 people are watching.

Juwan has to go after this season, right?

Maybe in the handshake line they can identify where Akins is because they sure as shit haven’t all game

Worst team in the Big Ten. SMH

The persistent collapse in the second half is so weird.

I have been a defender of Howard for a while but he either needs to be fired at the end of the year or there needs to be a MASSIVE overhaul of the staff and his approach.  It's inexplicable how badly this team has played this year; on paper this team should at least be competitive in these games and have a league-average defense, and yet they've somehow gotten worse throughout the year.

What a dumpster fire this program is. Will we even win another game this season?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a team in possession of a position of status within an elite college basketball conference, must be in want of a competent coach.

Firmly in last place! Torvik has us favored in only two remaining games. Losing to your rival in embarrassing fashion. This program is in shambles. Nik is absolutely spot on in his assessment. I’ve said it before, that in a conference with the likes of Nebraska, Rutgers, Penn State, and Northwestern, to be dead last is unacceptable. A total housecleaning is in order. 

We've become the Washington Generals.

Please time to move on!

But I suspect Warde will use the same "JH got one more year to right the ship and did in 2021"

Unless you have the contract flexibility to push JW to make changes and be under the gun, please cut the cord now. 

Shaka Smart has done wonders at Marquette. Bring him in and see the resurgence of a once proud program.
