Game thread: Mens Hoops - Michigan at Indiana - 4:30 pm EST tip
The mens hoops team wraps up their regular season at Indiana, broadcast on CBS with an approximately 4:30 pm EST tip-off.
It’s as close to a “must win” as possible, with other action - both inside the B1G and other conference’s play - influencing which teams are in, almost in, on the bubble, last four in, first four out, etc…
Assembly Hall has a lot of history between the Maize & Blue and the Hoosiers.
Hoping for solid play and a win.
Go Blue!
Indiana could literally be paying Tschetter to blow the game, and he could not be doing worse in each phase of the game.
He has had position 3 times for the rebound but amazingly it goes to a Hoosier outside position.
Point a minute offense makes it's return
What I wouldn’t give for a mediocre 4. The ones we have are MAC players, if that.
I can’t believe someone feels our 4’s are Big Ten caliber.
Typical hot start!
Cheddar is just too weak right now. Gets manhandled on both ends - gotta go with twill. He at least can box out and get rebounds
Apparently they call fouls against the home team at daughter of Mel Simon arena.
Bring in Reed
Big surprise. They are allowed to play football by the refs while we aren't even allowed to play tiddlywinks.
Oh how quickly the board turned on Cheddar. Midway through the season TWill was the villain.
But yeah he kills M sometimes.
Why do we not attack the offensive boards?
Too many guys running back while one or no one tussles with multiple defenders for the ball.
Very frustrating.
More Kobe, less Dug and Cheddar. WTF?
Jett needs to play within the offense, the early off balance 3s and 1 on 3 rim drives are not needed. The first in rhythm 3 pointer was swished, more of that please!
Just like you, I also prefer shots that go in.
Just like you, I also prefer shots that go in.
On one hand, that was kind of a shitty start. On the other hand, Indiana went all “big scary start” on us and it wasn’t that big or scary.
I see this will be a game where the entire board (including me) whines (appropriately) about the refs
Oh noooo, the offense and defense sucks agaaaainnn....
Jett needs to get on the bench. Horrible pass and jogging down court on the break.
This starting lineup ain't our best lineup. Also, still no Reed.
Jett is a liability at this point
Nice effort, Jett.
Jett misses free throw, then turns ball over, and I stead of rushing back to prevent the 2 on 1 he pouts to the ref the way down. Anyone else have a problem with this. ?
Jett is terrible today . Sit his ass
So... Is reed hurt? Howard's return honestly took away some of the high energy and effort we had been playing with... I know he's coming off an injury. But he's a step slow and seems to lackadaisical with the ball
Reed has been prone to foul trouble. I bet Juwan is limiting his minutes to make sure he's available when needed.
You mean after halftime when we get to 15 points as a team?
GO FOR THE FUCKING BALL
Just pick up the ball
TWill is just as bad as Cheddur, gj Juwan
Refs in full fucking form here.. Are you kidding me?
Home cookin
Wake up coach !!
These geriatric ass refs need to get their eyes checked.
Going to have to win in spite of the refs today, not good so far. Still in the game though
Assembly Hall's traditional officiating.
Why in the world doesn’t Williams grab the ball regardless… this team slacks off on things like that too often
That’s why they call it Assembly Call
Dont leave it to the refs when you see a ball slowly rolling by you, PICK THE FUCKING THING UP.
Why would you just watch the ball roll out of bounds when you are standing right next to it?? Why leave it to chance? Where is the hustle??
I do not understand not picking up that basketball! It’s rolling right at you and you give the officiating crew the opportunity to give IU the ball? Pick it up and play.
Jett needs to go spend the off season at the Charles Mathews school of toughness.
Jett seems to play entitled, and I hate to say that.
Second free throw Jett missed too.
Must get Kobe involved!
Another head up play from T-Will!
I just can’t believe a player is allowed to turn ball over and then jog back to the other end.
It hit off the Indiana's player foot. Maybe you should open your eyes before you speak
Hey dip shit I’m talking about Jett’s turnover you clearly need to pay attention
There was a TV timeout after T Wills 1,000 fuck up of the year
Gotta be smarter TWill, even if you saw the ball go off the guy's foot, pick it up if you can.
Don't leave the chance for the refs to be the clowns that they are.
TWill took Johns spot as the team's walking BPONE...Cheddur is gonna take it next season full time.
