Michigan Oregon basketball game thread

Burnett got fouled and then stopped playing defense. I understand you want a call but you can't just stop playing.

And, that didn’t last — Oregon makes a basket to retake the lead and Michigan uses its timeout.  And I’m not sure who I’m doing play-by-play for since I think the people on the thread are all watching this game at this point. :) 83-81 Oregon, 40 seconds left, Michigan ball.  You get the feeling they need to find a way to win this on this next set of possessions.

FUCK

Without not one but 2 of their better players.  We just suck and the poor play and mistakes make it worse.  Another year missing the tournament in March.  Decisions to make come April.

You knew they’d lose at buzzer. Time to start a coaching search. 

Shit.

And there is the end of the Juwan Howard era

Stunningly stupid. God damn. Get the fuck out of here Juwan, embarrassment of a program. Michigan should not be below the NCAA tournament bar ever but here we are.

fuck

just win tonight's game

We suck. Game winning 3. We don't even call timeout. Just chuck it from half court. Amazing coaching

Another close loss, pathetic. It's a trend under Howard at this point, not just luck. You need to move on because the program has fallen off a cliff.

Just, no.  A pull-up 35 footer?  This team may be cursed.

(removed)

And, in the ultimate “you’ve got to be kidding me” ending, Oregon eschews not only its timeout but also any offense for the last 15 seconds of the game, then throws up a 32-footer for the win, which naturally is nothing but net.  Ridiculous.

Heartbreaker…smh

Heartbreak loss on that 30 ft  3 in OT.  

Big shot, Shelstad is a nice looking freshman. Damnit

So much bad in this game from a coaching standpoint. Thank God for Dug.

Time to move on.  It’s not working.  This is Amaker shit

Terrible shot selection by Oregon but it went in

Time to get ready for football

Damn, you just expect to have to guard a college guy 30 feet from the basket with 5 seconds left. I'd let him take that wannabe Steph shot every game. He hit it, though. smh

I'm done with this whole coaching staff. These players deserve better. Neg away, but we've all seen good coaching & this ain't it.

McDaniel had an amazing game. The rest of the team struggled.

Team has a long way to go to get an NCAA bid. Let's hope they can turn things around!

Why would Dug not leave after this year?  Probably to small for the NBA but he could transfer to a better team

How is this team going to be better next year?

Really frustrating loss because we could have salted it away in regulation if we hit our free throws.

Dude knocked down a shot that was hard to defend- props for nailing it. Tough loss but wyd.

I can’t remember watching a less athletic player than Will Tschetter. How anyone thought he was anything more than a MAC level player is inconceivable. On defense he might as well be wearing a jersey that says “attack here.” He can’t jump, he can’t defend, he can’t move his feet. If he has to play because of Tarris’s FT woes, at least try to do some offense/defense switching with him. I honestly have never seen a worse defender or rebounder.

I thought this team was supposed to be different in close games this year? Same horse shit different horses.

The turnaround in like 3 years is amazing. Coming out of COVID in March 2021, Juwan Howard had Michigan as a #1 seed in the tournament, made the Elite 8, and was recruiting like Duke and Kentucky. A lot of people wanted Harbaugh fired.

Now? Juwan is the one on the hot seat (2 straight missed tourneys is pretty hard to swallow unless you're Tommy Amaker) and Harbaugh is the one who's built a juggernaut (outside of 1 bad loss to TCU).

It is time for a coaching change.  It seems like this coaching staff chokes in any close games down the stretch.  It happened way too much last year and again this year. 

The basketball program is a mess

Time for a Regime change
