autobenched
no flagrant fouls today I see. Mo got wacked in the chops
They are calling air.
rahk done for the half. damn
eyebrows arch the wrong way?
We need to get back to playing our brand of basketball. Smothering defense and efficient, patient offense
It's irritating that this game is gonna be this ticky-tac. Can we just watch basketball please?

They are calling it both ways but calling literally everything that involves contact
Is BTN airing a basketball game or a travel ad for NYC?
Livers looking a bit more aggressive today. Good sign.
he is one guy that should be playing with 2 fouls in the first half. hopefully, he gets back in at about the 5 min mark.
Simpson!!
and yet no call
Of course, he missed the FT...
We're going to wear these guys down as the game moves on.
If I took a shot like that to my knee, I'd be hobbling for a week.
Instead of the moving screen, they call Wagner for getting hit??
he doesn't have a shot, it's a shot put. he pushes the ball. a shot should be mostly wrist. he has little to none.
terrible call
These refs hate us.
call a carry on every possession, BS call
Iowa is stroking it, and we've got our two most reliable weapons on the bench.
you have to find that guy. he is the only guy on the team that can shoot.
he totally messes up the flow, hence the Iowa run
giving up open looks now/not going to the hoop with conviction
Matthews has been driving and kicking effetively. The Iowa run is happening because they keep getting wide open jumpers. If you score 35+ in a half and aren't winning its your defense that is the problem.
iowa averages like 85 per game and they still suck.
Iowa is shooting 60%, Michigan hasn't hit a three and it's a two point game. They keep this up all game.
get him back in please!
Was hoping for laugher so I could work and check in occasionally. Not today I guess.
You can really tell how shitty this reffing has been when michigan has 8 fouls and iowa has only shot 2 free throws.
Tough to play defense when the refs are calling it this tightly...yeesh.
fuck jim delaney.
MAAR
DRob - hasn't played much?
that bad but Iowa looks relaxed in rhythm we HAVE to start disrupting that
They're playing like there's no tomorrow because, let's be honest, unless they win the BTT there effectively is no tomorrow (yes I know they can beat us and play tomorrow, I'm speaking metaphorically). So there really isn't a whole lot of pressure on them at this point.
Few things are more dangerous than an opponent who plays like it has nothing to lose.
Now if you want to argue that it’s tougher for U-M because they’re expected to win, then I guess so, but that’s only a Vegas number. Not sure that has any bearing on the players.
