Michigan vs. CMU Game Thread

BTN Plus, where the plus means "not better".  

No thanks. 

Stream?

They used to have SD channels for mediocre games. Michigan spoils us. Other teams aren't on tv as much as us

Iowa and Nebraska are playing on BTN but I don’t get why they only use the BTN alternative channels during football season

Fuck these greedy bastards! I'm hunting for a free live stream, my main site didn't have it.

BTN minus is usually just a live stream of the jumbotron hooked up to a radio broadcast.  Crappy coverage not worth paying for.

Damn

Dug is probably the player Michigan can most afford to use.

Fingers crossed McDaniel's okay.

Cheddar is hauling in some rebounds.

18-13 Michigan 8:08 left in the first half

Should there be media timeouts when the game is on BTN minus and not on TV at all?

Michigan continues to look awful on the boards and on defense. 

Offense seems pretty out of sync so far, with Hunter barely getting touches. Overall it's another game where Michigan looks like one of the worst teams in the conference and struggling against inferior teams. 

They need to get into transition more.

Not looking great

CMU with a lot of offensive rebounds.

23-17 Michigan at the under 4 time out 

All of the non guards except Hunter are just awful when they have the ball more than two seconds.

The offense just has no rhythm at the moment. They can't sustain any kind of run. They just aren't getting better, they're the same team as game 1 for the most part. There's just no way they make the tournament, at this rate.

Nothing's changed.  There's no passion, purpose or connectivity on either end of the floor with this team until they get desperate.

Jett has a great shot, but most of our guys are just guys, not dudes 

Tied up, looking very, very rough. 

FT are also an issue along with being awful at rebounding. 

Jett Howard just standing there watching Williams get absolutely cooked and doesn't rotate into the wide open paint. He's useless on defense. 

Hunter with the rare quadruple-team.

The lack of a quality forward is going to sink this team 

This is just a bad team. Like playing in the first round of the B1G tournament bad. 

Halftime

28-27 Michigan 

Joey Baker makes a 3 pointer with 6 seconds left.

Dug is just not running the offense, he is scoring but there have been multiple times where Hunter doesn’t get a touch for three straight possessions. That just can’t happen.

BTN+ announcers, 28-27 at the half, "Barn Burner".

Michigan up 1 at the half. They look horrible out there. This looks a like bottom 4 B1G team without a doubt. 

Hot take, I'd be totally cool canning Howard at the end of the year if they miss the tournament.

Getting out rebounded is an ongoing issue. Rebounding is about fundamentals and effort and this team lacks both of those qualities, in multiple areas. 

Hunter is 2-5 from the field, 1-2 from the line with one rebound but no fouls.

Bufkin got in foul trouble and played only 8 minutes.

Central Michigan has losses to Marquette (allowed 97 points to them), Minnesota, High Point, California Baptist, Robert Morris, Tulsa, Missouri State, and Youngstown State. The last 2 losses were by double digits. So of course Michigan is barely ahead at halftime.

Juwan is lost when it comes to lineups . Terrible coaching job this year . Out rebounded by cmu 21-14 in first half is pathetic
