Michigan Basketball Game Thread - Virginia

Howard really needs to figure out rotations better than this. There are minutes of the game just thrown away by having their best 2 players on the bench at the same time.

Juwan’s rotations are officially a problem. You just can’t sit both Jett and Hunter

Collapsing, and they were playing so well so that sucks. I don't get why Howard goes with a complete second team for subs instead of layering them.

Howard’s rotations make me want to scream. He leaves starters in there for 8-10 minutes and then wants to take 4 to 5 of them out at the same time. 

Refs are really taking over.  My favorite from the commentators is “it looks from behind like a hook and hold.”  Can you see through the player’s back?  No, then you can’t make the call.

You cannot have Baker, Twill, and Jace all on the floor together. These guys are basically only play-finishers. Reed has zero offensive abilities as it stands and so you’re just asking McDaniel to get all the sets organized and create everything. Very bad lineup choice.

Dug just straight up isn’t good enough for a competing team.

also Howard can’t have that lineup on the floor. That’s a coaching failure 

I expect HD and Jett after the timeout. They’ll play the rest of the way now. 

Howard’s rotations would be better if randomly made. What a joke.  

On pace for 20+ points this half... Dickenson giving us nothing on offense

It's like watching the Natty against Louisville all over again.  We fucking touch a guy it's a foul.  Virgina fucking molesting guys and nothing is called.  

We've missed some open looks, no doubt.  Bit either call it the same fucking game both ways or find a new fucking career.  I'm sorry, reffing is fucking rocket science.

Clark is forearm checking Llewelyn every time down the court and is yet to get whistled for it. 

What the fuck are they doing? Dumb hero ball.

Passing up wide open shots and some fucking goober is all of the sudden Larry Bird for them 

Mustache dude must be stopped

Dickenson is rolling to the rim wide open every time. Trust your eyes and make the pass!!!!

Honestly all you ask for is consistency so frustrating to see one team getting called for hand checks out top while the other is getting away with very obvious ones. Virginia honestly should have about 15 fouls in the half with how much contact they are initiating with perimeter ballhandlers. Straight forearm contact on some of them.

This fucking Virginia team man, they could easily already have 5 guys fouled out if only the fucking refs would call them for fouls on their defensive hedging.

They're constantly bumping or mugging our guys.

Smart decisions and going through Hunter every possession is the key. Getting hero ball will surely lose this. + Defense of course 

They are not going to make this easy, it's going to come down to the last seconds.

🫣😬

Cramp at the worst possible time for Howard assuming that is what it is.

About to get fucked on this review yet again 

If they already ruled that the defender was too close to the offensive player, then what is there to look at?

Here we go. Prob gonna call some horseshit 

Hunter has some sick bows! 

Virginia, master of mugging you then flopping for a foul. 

Good god if this game is decided by an inadvertent elbow. Really should have been a no call either way.

Finally caught up to live. Heckuva game. Cannot afford a ref job at home here…

Wtf. HD can’t help that his elbows are at dude’s face. Get taller dude. 

They didn’t hose us?!?!

BOOM!

Not sure that should've even been a cylinder call.  This one is tricky.  Gotta say seems Dickinson got those elbows outward.

Doesn't seem to be the call so....go us.

If Virginia was in our conference, we'd hate them like we do Wisconsin because of the BS  way they play and getting away with it.
