Game thread: Michigan at Illinois - Men’s Hoops - 7:00 pm EST on ESPN
Michigan travels to Champaign to face the Illini. The broadcast begins at 7:00 pm EST on ESPN.
Though Purdue leads the conference standings by two games, the race for second is tight. Our Wolverines are in second place in the conference with an 11-7 record, a half game ahead of seven other teams who have 8 losses.
A lot of comments in different threads. It’s as close to a “must win” as there is, if the team hopes to Dance in a couple of weeks.
Rumor has it that Jett will be in the lineup tonight…
Go Blue!
Fuck of the ball was dropping normal we would have ten more points.
Maybe by Kobe alone. Jett is rusty
Jett needs to hustle for that rebound.
Jett knocked down no foul
Lack of hustle by Jett going after that loose ball.
Lots of slips and falls. Is this Glendale AZ?
We are good folks. We are better than Illinois.
Even with the BS foul discrepancy,I don't feel worried. Shouldn't I be?
To many turnovers against a shorthanded team.
A lot of home cooking by the officials tonight.
Wouldn't mind seeing if Shannon can actual convert these drives when he's running 20mph. We foul him every time.
We can't seem to get any kind of run going.
That was a freshman shot by Dug.
Go towards your strong hand, Reed.
Illinois gets a rebound that bounced twice. Come on guys.
Horrible effort by Dickinson there
Great D Jace
Hunter walking for a rebound and gives up an offensive board. Lazy
He doesn't run like a normal person does. It's weird but I've never seen him lean his upper body forward to sprint. Kind of seems he thinks if he does he'll tip over
Never pump fake after you get to the rim
Long rebound… IL gets it again. Come on
Fouls obviously only occur against Illinois
I wish Dug would learn to just dribble thru the lane when nothing is there
Illinois is going to be a lot of hero ball. Hopefully they dont pull too much shit out of their asses.
33 looks like he's transitioning into a Ninja Turtle.
His pronoun is Testudines.
Hunter's handle is off tonight.
Is Barnes injured?
Don't recall seeing him in weeks.
Hawkins is not very handsome.
So fucking sloppy tonight.
Sooooooooooo many turnovers.
Self inflicted, poor judgement mistakes repeatedly.....
Sure hurts in a close game.
Bro what the fuck is this team doing? Someone give Hunter some fucking chalk. Throwing away possessions.
Would be up big if we took care of the damn ball
Big Reed was hacked-no call. Hand check by us-foul
Same old story.
*sigh*
God this is an ugly, ugly game.
We need players that play with the intensity Shannon does. Good thing Illinois can’t shoot.
Why isn't Illinois trying to go inside?
Looks like Hunter could use a little of Meyer's caffeine drinks.
Need Kobe in there to give Dug a break handling the point duties
Cut down the turnovers and the range of outcomes should be fairly comfortable win to very close loss. Keep turning the ball over like this, and Illinois can build a lead on us.
Only up 2 seems bad. Gotta stop turning it over. Juwan, play Kobe Bufkin. He’s your best all-around player!!
We should be killing this team.
I swear every shot of the bench had Underwood screaming at a ref. Why? He's getting every damn call.
Dickinson jogging back
I think that was running for Hunter. Just looked like jogging.
We are not playing very well on offense. Way too many turnovers and forcing up bad shots these last like 10 possessions.
Jace, WTF!???
Zero intensity.
