MBB Game Thread: Michigan at Northwestern
Since no one started one yet. Let's get a solid road win!

McDaniels has been rough in the paint tonight with the missed floaters and that turnover. He needs more space to attack the paint like that in the half court.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
Plus he’s missed Baker twice on open looks, last one being that terrible drive
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Stat line says 9 assists and 0 TOs
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
If Kobe can knock down the corner 3, he’s going to make some money in the league.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
Getting reckless. Good timeout.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
Just flipped to BTN. I didn't think uniforms could get uglier than the neon Sparty ones, but the Sparty women are wearing truly awful gear.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
2 big lineup (2BL moving forward)
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:40 PM ^
We're better rested - that's because we slept through the Penn State game.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Hunter Dickinson is back! What a spin move around the rim!!!!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Awful bailout call.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Breeding is a terrible ref
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:43 PM ^
Hunter with three bad plays in a row.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
Might be fatigue. Coach needs to recognize that.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:43 PM ^
Weird Northwestern had to play nearly back to back but thank you B1G schedulers.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
Covid outbreak caused some reschedules. It severely compacted their schedule for a couple weeks.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
I think it's because they had to cancel a couple games for Covid and this is the make up time.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
HD needs to force the issue under the basket more. Go right at the rim in traffic, don't be timid. If he is not getting at least one charge called on him in a game he's not trying it enough.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
Dickinson for 7 feet tall doesn't shoot over shorter guys, he relies on finesse and timing to get his shots off. I don't remember him being this unathletic last year.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
His touch around the rim has gone down this year. When I saw Edey the other day it reminded me of how Hunter used to shoot.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Kobe looks so smooth out there.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Airball from a foot away. LOL
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
TWill looks great today
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
Boo "Baba" Buie.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
While it doesn't feel as if they played well, they did.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
Bufkin will never be a Batman but he could be the best Robin in the league.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Nothing wrong with that... at all.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Clear the bench
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
One thing I noticed from the photo of Trey blocking the shot in the NC game, is both he & the other PG were wearing 3/4 tops. Now all these kids wear low tops & no wonder there are a ton of ankle injuries.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Kobe has just been amazing tonight. One positive out of this year is we will have one of the better back courts next year in the conference.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Amaizing how much better we look when the ball goes through the net for us
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Wow. I'm soooo impressed. Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Q1 win... Finally!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Quad 1 - here we come!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
Frankly a team with Michigan’s roster should beat NW like they did tonight.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Does this mean we have successfully defended Chicago in CFB Risk?
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
Was that Kobe Bufkin or Jalen Rose tonight?
Baker’s threes were rain makers!
No complaints from VA this evening.
If you bitch about this game, show yourself out.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
What I'll always remember from this game...Seth Greenburg took a nap & snored in the 2nd half broadcast. Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
The broadcast was rivaling BTN Plus quality.
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
Seth's co-host reminds me of that guy Mike on BTN who won a lottery to try being a broadcaster for a week & ended up getting hired full time.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
Switching to the end of Fromage vs. Bucknuts
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
What the hell are you wearing Bucky?
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
Good win tonight, a Q1 at last! Spend the next few days focusing like hell on putting together consecutive good outings and beat those Bucknuts on Sunday!
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
Boo Buie is a funny name
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
It’s so much better when this team gets a win. Enjoyable. Bufkin balled out.
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Fly the “W”.. Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
"Fly the W"
Cubbies fans...ugh.
February 3rd, 2023 at 9:15 AM ^
Rob, FYI.. I’m born and raised in the Detroit area - and currently reside in Chicago.
I’ll go to a Cubs game.. but, am not a huge Cubs fan.
As for my comment - it definitely reflected Chicago, as you noted. Michigan’s games against Northwestern tend to be the easiest to watch in person. So, a bit of “Chicago” to congratulate Michigan on their win in lovely Evanston.
Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:01 PM ^
I'll take this win against an exhausted NW team. We need all the help we can get. Just beat OSU on Sunday!
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
Just when you think all is lost…a B1G victory on the road.
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
Let's go Bucky. Keep the lead.
