Can we give him his medical scholarship and move on? Dude was hurt during all of the last B1G season. He's been "a game time decision" for the last two months. He's broken and he's not coming back. We could use the scholarship on someone else. However, nice effort by Walton.

I'd say fire Beilein but its not like we'd be able to get a better coach. We're condemned to basktball mediocracy unless we can get a coach who can coach and recruit at a high level. Instead we're getting out recruited by penn state and the talent gap really shows in games like this.

This isn't a good game by any means, but MSU can't seem to miss regardless of the defense in front of them.

This team is a fringe bubble team.  It sucks, but that's about it, especially with Caris out.  MSU isn't a world-beater, but they are better than UM right now.  I still have faith Beilein can turn this team around and make them competitive, but this week isn't a particularly good example.

I don't know man. Live by the 3, die by the 3; when you come up against a team that isn't going to give up open looks (read: any GOOD team) your gonna have a bad time. I'm not a Beilein hater by any means, but I certainly have my doubts. Very few good defenders and never a dominant big through his whole tenure; I mean he's been here 9 years...

What the fuck is Beilein doing between games? Does the team practice at all? Can't wait to hear from all the Beilein apologists about how we just have to wait and we'll be competing against the best again. That contract extension will be the only bad thing Hackett did. Years of mediocrity, here we come.

When does football season start? At least we can recruit and put together consistent performances in that sport.

Unprepared coaching again at home. Not sure what's going one but this isn't a good look. You can not let this team start the way they did and give away your home court as fast as it was.

that anyone questioning Beilein gets shouted down and negged. We've been garbage the last 2 years. Do any of these current guys give anyone hope for the future? We never play D. We need to either be happy with a tourney appearance a few times a decade or get a better coach. More Burkes, Niks and Mitches ain't walking through that door again.

Glad it's not just me. I hate not liking him as our coach because he's such a great guy and mentor, and he's given us some GREAT success here and there, but it's gotten bad. Real bad.

Honestly, I want to know what JB saw in the recruiting of half of these players that are on this team. He needs to learn a thing from harbaugh about recruiting. I honestly think it is time to move past beilien. I hope the new ad is not as patient as Brandon. He has had one good class since he has been here. We need a younger more energetic coaching staff.
