Not sure why they are trying to force it. In the last game we had Dickinson and Jett sitting for like 6 minutes straight in the 2nd half.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:33 PM ^
Sloppiness, bad shooting, and being slow on D leads to bad results.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
Point guard play not impressive
November 11th, 2022 at 9:35 PM ^
Too many bad shots, but hopefully they get it in order
November 11th, 2022 at 9:35 PM ^
I think after 3 seasons, and the start of this season, Howard is just bad at rotations and line ups and always will be. It's like how Harbaugh is bad at time management, it's just a weird thing they can't figure out. He puts too many starters on the bench at once, instead of cycling people in and out more.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:36 PM ^
Too many weird guys in the lineup.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:36 PM ^
What I don’t understand is Howard plays his first team entirely for about 8 minutes and then does a total switch to all new people playing together. How about rotating some in there after 4-5 minutes that way there are experienced players out there all the time? His mass switch lineups aren’t going so well
November 11th, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
And Dickinson still on the bench. Luckily Jett is out there.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
Eww, offense looks booty
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
Let’s hope Howard takes the same trajectory path as Harbaugh at Michigan.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
That T was coming. Thank you Emoni. But yeah Barnes shouldn't be out there right now.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
I’m so glad Bates isn’t on Michigan. What a turd.
November 11th, 2022 at 11:42 PM ^
I'm rooting for Bates. He made this game a lot more fun to watch. He has gone from #1 prospect to underdog. I liked his youthful enthusiasm and on-court personality.
This was actually a perfect game - competitive, good story lines, see-saw battle, high scoring, intense, and Michigan gets the win in the end.
Hope EMU goes on to have a great season.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
I think the board consensus is that either Hunter or Jett needs to be on the floor every minute. To do that, Coach Howard will have to be more strategic with his rotations. Don't wait until the under 12 timeout to make a substitution.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
Bates acts like a punk. Not surprised.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
Sitting Dickinson this long is silliness
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
Jesus Christ. This team clearly doesn’t practice free throws
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
Make your fucking free throws.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
Emoni Bates talking shit after every score, finally gets a T. Howard dropping the ball with those 2 FTs.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
Feels like another UM basketball season where I bang my head on the sink.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
We officially suck at free throws
November 11th, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
Yep, Bates being a tremendous douchebag confirmed.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:40 PM ^
Wow, Redd with the post up skill! And, Barnes with the put back!
November 11th, 2022 at 9:40 PM ^
Punk move by Bates. You ain't on the playground.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:40 PM ^
Love the hustle there, but please put your starters in.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:41 PM ^
Wow, I didn’t know Reed could do that.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:41 PM ^
Why is Hunter still not even at the scorer’s table?
November 11th, 2022 at 9:41 PM ^
Is Hunter hurt?
November 11th, 2022 at 9:41 PM ^
This defense is a joke
November 11th, 2022 at 9:41 PM ^
Emoni is trying to make a statement tonight. Crowd is hype down here
November 11th, 2022 at 9:42 PM ^
It really doesn’t seem like we have anyone that will be able to play competent perimeter defense against ball handlers. *sigh*
November 11th, 2022 at 9:42 PM ^
2-8 from the line is pathetic
November 11th, 2022 at 9:42 PM ^
Hunter must have hurt something. No other excuse not to have him in a game where he cannot be guarded.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:42 PM ^
I don’t know what Juwan is doing
November 11th, 2022 at 9:42 PM ^
Wtf is our all American sitting on the bench for 1/2 the half?
November 11th, 2022 at 9:43 PM ^
Stop playing up on this kid that far above the 3PT line Jesus Christ! Dare him to pull up or just dance around with the ball. Fucking hell
November 11th, 2022 at 9:44 PM ^
It feels like every play for Michigan is 1 on 1.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:44 PM ^
It must be the green and white colors that make you a prick
November 11th, 2022 at 9:44 PM ^
Shyte from the line tonight. Geez.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:45 PM ^
Great ball movement, but I think we're just not good at shooting 3s still.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:45 PM ^
So much for shooting woes being a thing of the past.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:45 PM ^
Michigan sees green and they think there playing Staeeee.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:46 PM ^
Another year of bad shooting.. Ugh.. where are the shooters. So many fouls
November 11th, 2022 at 9:46 PM ^
Maybe Hunter had too much Little Caesar’s pizza before the game.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:46 PM ^
Are there no refs?
November 11th, 2022 at 10:00 PM ^
It’s a DJ Carstensen game. I was hoping John O’Neill had taken DJ into retirement with him. Alas…
November 11th, 2022 at 9:46 PM ^
Gonna need to practice free throws again...sighhh
November 11th, 2022 at 9:47 PM ^
Need some halftime adjustments. Wonder if Harbaugh & Co. are at the game.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:47 PM ^
Lol at the refs swallowing their whistle as multiple Michigan players got hacked only to call that 28 feet from the basket.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:47 PM ^
Why is it our starters are not playing most of the half? The bench players are getting really long shifts it feels like.
