Nice officiating for EMU
November 11th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
These games where Hunter misses alot of bunnies never end well...
November 11th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
No need for Jett to be playing on ball defense well behind the 3pt line. Do we have any zone defenses we can deploy?
November 11th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
They need to work on FTs.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:49 PM ^
It's amazing how many Michigan fans no absolutely nothing about playing basketball 😂
November 11th, 2022 at 9:51 PM ^
Enlighten us Dr J
November 11th, 2022 at 9:54 PM ^
I can't even spell know right
November 11th, 2022 at 9:49 PM ^
The rotation thing is an NBA holdover right? That’s the only thing I can think of - Howard seems to think he has two lineups of NBA players
November 11th, 2022 at 9:49 PM ^
The team is very slow laterally
November 11th, 2022 at 9:51 PM ^
Man, Michigan just can’t stay in front of their man.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:51 PM ^
We are not good at the defense
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
6-14 from the FT line is brutal.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
We're better from the floor tonight while guarded than we are from the line. Ugh
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
make your free throws please
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
Gonna lose games this year based off of missed free throws
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
Jaelin really underwhelming shooting wise so far.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:52 PM ^
How Bufkin was a McDonald’s all American I’ll never know. Joining Diabate and Houstan in underperforming that ranking.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:53 PM ^
Kobe needs to play with more control.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:53 PM ^
Orlando “Reverend” Lovejoy
November 11th, 2022 at 9:56 PM ^
Lol I was his high school coach last year down in Charlotte. Hoping he doesn't foul out before halftime lol.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:53 PM ^
Don’t worry guys, Minter will make halftime adjustments
November 11th, 2022 at 9:54 PM ^
40 points in the first half. The defense is a fucking travesty.
November 11th, 2022 at 10:06 PM ^
It’s a travashamockery.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:54 PM ^
Completely forgotten Hunter exists
November 11th, 2022 at 9:54 PM ^
Maybe you should be using Hunter more, idk. Instead of having your bench play for 10 minutes in the middle of the half.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
Go in to Dickinson until they stop him. Why are we playing streetball with EMU?
November 11th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
Pretty embarrassing game
November 11th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
This is going to be a long season if this is how they’re going to play defense.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:56 PM ^
In our defense on the last few shots, Bates is hitting contested shots and that shot by Farrakhan, Jaelin hit the ball and he still hit the three
November 11th, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
There’s no defense for a defense that allows 45 first-half points to a MAC school.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
It's not going as expected, but this game is pretty damn entertaining.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
Meh. This UM team is maybe top 40 but not top 25.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:56 PM ^
Yeah, see that Dickinson guy is pretty good
November 11th, 2022 at 9:56 PM ^
Howard has always been unable to stop star players from taking over the game.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Outside of hunter and Jett the talent doesn’t seem to be on the same level as years past. Still early, Hopefully someone will develop throughout the year
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
That's one of the worst blocking calls I've ever seen.
November 11th, 2022 at 10:03 PM ^
Yeah, I don't know what the ref was looking at. It wasn't even close. At worst, it should have been a no call.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Looked like a block to me.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
I'm concerned about this team. We have average defense, below average shooting, before average rebounding, limited ball handling, but great post play. Too many deficiencies at this point.
November 11th, 2022 at 10:01 PM ^
Lol, thank god it’s only game 2
November 11th, 2022 at 10:07 PM ^
It's a little early for those assessments. I'm not certain Michigan was prepared for EMU's athleticism/speed. They probably underrated the opponent, and didn't anticipate the charged, emotional atmosphere. I expect a different Michigan squad in the 2nd half.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
We're all getting beat on the boards again.
How is that not a charge? These refs are allowing so much more contact on the other end.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Hunter is gonna get called for that too small gesture
November 11th, 2022 at 9:57 PM ^
Wtf? That’s a textbook charge.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
Mich BBall always seems to get the retard refs
November 11th, 2022 at 10:08 PM ^
Not politically correct... but funny!
November 11th, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
Bad defense. Bad shooting. Bad free throws. Bad guard play.
45 points at halftime to Eastern Michigan?
This year will be like last year.
November 11th, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
T-Will is the ultimate garbage man. Has a knack for those follow-up tips
November 11th, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
EMU playing with more emotion so they are getting the close calls
November 11th, 2022 at 9:59 PM ^
Go to zone in the 2nd half
