Game thread. Mens hoops at Rutgers - 9:30 pm EST

I have watched or attended every Michigan football and basketball game since the inception of btn. I do not know if I can continue to watch basketball with this officiating. I don’t care if they are not full time big ten employees there is no excuse to be this bad.

Rutgers wasn't even guarding Jace. Made em pay.

I'm done watching any road games because of the joke that Big Ten officiating is, turning this off and doing something else. Fuck the Big Ten conference higher ups who don't do anything about this bullshit year after year, it's just absurd. It's not unreasonable to ask for a minimum level of competency and fairness.

Went from infinity to five

Jace with the 3, and Kobe picks a pocket for a couple free throws.

A foul? That looked like a jump ball. /s

That needs to be a dunk Kobe 

Hey a foul, only took 14.5 minutes! 

Lol they didnt even want to call that foul

2 things that should never happen when you have a 7 footer. 5+ minute scoring droughts, and 0 fouls by your opponent. Work the ball inside!

No what are you doing Jace...oh great shot!

Can't believe we are only down by 4.  And a foul?!?!?   What?!?!

Hunter thrown down no foul

Michigan’s inability to get defensive boards makes me sad. 

Such BS these refs my God

Cheddar with awful defense close out and now a turnover….. 

Even play-by-play guy sees the foul disparity.

These games are becoming unwatchable. 

Hyatt wrestled Hunter to the ground prior to that. Guess its prison rules today boys!!! 

Kobe has been in a good groove for the last 10 -15 games!

A lead!

We have a lead folks.

Redemption?

Only way hunter can get the ball down low is if he dribbles it in from the 3 point line

Even play-by-play guy sees the foul disparity.

These games are becoming unwatchable. 

This has been a weird game. Rutgers seems to not be able to defend Dickinson down low. Maybe take advantage of that?

This game is wild. The refs just switched on a dime and are actually calling fouls on Rutgers.

Bufkin is our best player

Ball is still not moving well.

This is like watching a game in Madison. Not pretty basketball. Refs allowing these kinds of games is why the B1G isn't overly successful in the Tournament.

baker takes the charge.  credit for the D, there.

and a 1 pt lead.  lots better than trailing 13-3 and 1-12 shooting

Michigan should be going down low every time down the court when their center is out. T Will jacking up threes is not what we need 

So basically we need to keep inadvertently elbowing Omoruyi in the face.  Rutgers is sooo bad without him 

Not going to lie - Michigan coming back from down 10 against this Rutgers team with this ref show is pretty damn amazing.  

And they call that a charge?  I'll take it but damn...

Kobe stepping up big time tonight (so far), keep it going. Rutgers really struggles with Omoruyi off the court

Rutgers has a nice crowd tonite. Their program has come a long way!

Get Hunter down low. Why the constant out on post with screens!?! Kobe and Hunter should take 80% of the shots.

I like Benetti and think he's good at all the jobs hes on (and there are a lot haha) but this Rutgers love fest is nauseating.

How many different kinds of "magic pants" commercials made by crypto flunkies do we have to watch?

There ya go, Baker.

Rutgers asleep on D for once 

The growth of Kobe is what you want to see in every player.

Big 90 seconds here. Michigan has a chance to really expand the lead right before half.
