Iowa(6-2) vs. #4 Michigan(7-1) Game Thread

First half thoughts:

Teske is a MAN out there. He contests so many shots, and is such a physical force. 

Johns is showing more and more signs of being a player. He's got a big body, and his stroke is pretty smooth. Good minutes from him are really valuable to this team.

Iowa is just the team Michigan needed after Louisville - their jackrabbit, no D style of ball is just what the doctor ordered.

Garza is playing out of his mind. He's a crafty SOB, but such a liability on D. Davis/Wagner/Johns can't handle him; we need Teske. Keep attacking him; we'll get some calls.

I really like Michigan's ball movement - they're handling Iowa's press, and finding the open man.

Keep it up, boys - put them away!

Luka Garza is a walking offensive foul. Last time I checked, you can't use your elbows and dip your shoulders into a guy to force room to shoot. His flailing elbow to Castleton's face, while not blatantly intentional, certainly was still a flailing elbow. I don't know how you throw your arm up that high, at that angle, well above your shoulders, on accident. It was flailing, and he needs a warning at a minimum. I hated dudes that played that way and got away with it - usually only by terrible rec league officials.

Box out simpson

Why did he get a second free throw?

I have no clue how Z got a foul on that rebound

Come on Teske 

We got away with a push on Bohanan's drive. 

Need to rebound better

goddamit we seem to be the worst fastbreak finishing team in the country

These officials are the only thing keeping Iowa in this 

Terrible shot teske

passing is much better tonite

Noice. Teske block, and we get 3 on the other end.

And another terrible fucking call on Simpson. These fucking refs suck.

Vibe in Crisler is great. They should expand the Maize Rage since were a basketball school now. 

That’s such an awful call. X knocked it loose first and then gets called trying to get the loose ball?  Such BS

Iowa plays no D. Play smart and there's a wide open shot every time down the court.

Watching Garza work in the paint. He puts his foot between the defender's leg, under the center of gravity, pushes with his knee and hip, and flails around with his arms and elbows. Initiates all kinds of contact to make space. The hip and leg is one thing, but the arms and elbows...I don't know, man.

God I hate these refs. Simpson clearly hit the ball. Wtf. Of course FS1 doesn’t show us another look, just like they didn’t on the iffy foul called on Simpson on that 3-pointer.

Nice to watch and listen to a Michigan Basketball game without Dickie V's incessant hype and yammering.

How do we always get dicked by refs at home?   Court side fans need to get way more belligerent as this shit needs to get called out. 

Z has a bit too much "street ball" in his game this year... JH needs to reel him in a little

What's the world coming to when your point guard passes up the three to your 7'1" center so he can take the three?

Iowa. All grit team. 

Wagner still struggling. Need to get him going

Get Wagner out of there

Tim Brando loves white kid athlete adjectives more than any announcer I've ever heard.

Terrible offense right now. Iowa is heating up. 

Brooks just can't quite get his close to the hoop game going..he's close.  EDIT: BUT HE CAN SNIPE!

Man Wagner's hands seem weak

our D is letting up big time in this second half.  need to amp up the effort.  it's reminding me of the app state game.

Say “Coaches son right there” 5 times fast

I have a bad feeling about this game. We are playing no defense right now. We should have a bigger lead.
