A road win at the RAC would be a good thing.

Go Blue!

T-Will doing well on the board which is good to see. For as absolutely dreadful as the offense has been, still a 3 point game and it's hard to continue shooting 25% the rest of the game. Also we're doing well on the boards which is a big thing with Rutgers.

I don’t understand how Juwan is so bad at rotations. It’s by far his worst trait as a head coach. Reed is one of their best players last 4-5 games, dude NEEDS to play. Jett is out. It should be Dug, Kobe, Baker, and Twill for spots 1-3. Hunter/Reed/Chddar for 4-5. Reed (if no foul trouble), should be playing 30+ minutes. This is ridiculous!!

10 minutes in and no fouls on RU. Granted only 2 for M, but one felt pretty weak to me considering a couple of those tie ups early seemed pretty agressive and should have been fouls on RU. I know they are a good defensive team but based on the energy in that place tonight and the way this is going, it feels like they are going to be able to be way more agressive on D and get away with a lot more than M will.

Then again we might see 4 total fouls this half and the refs will have both teams in the double bonus by the under 12 next half haha

The officiating in the B1G is atrocious. 3,4,5, 6 seconds in the lane (not calling) followed by an absolute mugging of Reed for a jump ball. RIDICULOUS

quick stats.  we started 1-12 and are now 5-18, including 2-9 from 3

rutger started 6-9 but is now 7-16, including 2-7 from 3.  

no fouls on rutger despite them mugging reed under the basket.

One third the way through the game, and not a single foul on the home team.

Can we please ask the B1G to spend a bit of that $1B media agreement in order to field competent officials?

The one-sided fouls calls is a bit egregious, not going to lie.  Michigan isn't a team that's going to try to initiate a ton of contact but they're still aggressive enough to earn some calls they're not getting.
