Michigan vs Indiana BTT First Round Game Thread

Great first half lead; let's expand it in the 2nd half. IU halftime talk has to be about doing better when they get to the NIT.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
Is Caleb going to make a 3 today?
March 10th, 2022 at 12:27 PM ^
Magic 8 ball says: Ask again later
March 10th, 2022 at 12:27 PM ^
Is he ever gonna score again?
March 10th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
Cool, the reply button is back. Houstan has lost all confidence and should be on the bench
March 10th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
I hate ref shows (2 soft techs), but can live with the massive foul discrepancy in our favor for the first time in a while.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:27 PM ^
This pleases me 😬😬😬
March 10th, 2022 at 12:28 PM ^
Devante maybe "the best point guard in the league"!
True or not, he's certainly shot way up in our estimation.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:28 PM ^
Glad Houstan is contributing by getting some boards (4) and assists (3), but no doubt 'Road-Caleb' got on the team bus for today's game.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
Coaching strategy:
- I would always have 2 guys trying to rebound during FT's.
- we should have tried to get a shot earlier with under a minute to go to get more possession time at the end.
- why are we not calling a use it or lose it TO with under 10 seconds to go to strategize?
Otherwise, it's been a good half, keep it up gentlemen!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:31 PM ^
The failure to capitalize on the easy 2 for 1 opportunity was weak. Agreed on your assessments, but up 13 is a pretty sweet start!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
5 offensive rebounds - we are not only better, we want it more. IU has a serious problem. Every year they get worse down the stretch - love to see it.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
DeVante's season seems to have turned around when he remembered to be a scorer again, like he was before coming here.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
He is giving a senior D Walt Jr vibe right now. Look out B1G and USA…
March 10th, 2022 at 12:30 PM ^
Houstan has missed 14 consecutive shots. He made a 3 with two minutes left in the Iowa game, then missed a layup with :30 left. 0-10 in Columbus. 0-3 today.
I haven’t less enjoyed watching a Michigan player in some time.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:35 PM ^
Just needs to see the ball go through the hoop, maybe?!?
March 10th, 2022 at 12:36 PM ^
Houstan has made some notable contributions on defense the last few games and has made some contributions on offense but for someone brought in as a lock down shooter he has been a disappointment for sure.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
Houstan needs to be strapped to a chair and forced to watch replays of Glen Rice shooting in the tourney for 16 hours straight.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
While I agree Glen Rice as a freshman was a rebounder. Time in the gym working on that sweet jumper paid off as he became one of the purest shooters the game has ever seen. Watch clips of the 89 run. The Virginia/UNC games are fantastic.
92, 91, 92, and 102 pts (102-65 vs Virginia) scored on their way to the final four. Damn what a March Madness.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:34 PM ^
Missed the first half, so I caught up on the game by reading the thread before turning on the TV. Seems that the consensus belief is that we're turning a corner and a skies the limit team if Houstan and BJJ hit their shots. Oh and the refs suck.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:35 PM ^
You're caught up!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:40 PM ^
Don't fall behind again!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
23-14 board advantage and a 3-1 edge in steals, along with only 3 first half fouls to IU's 9.
Some pretty impressive stats, let's keep it going!!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
Poor damn Eli.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
Come on, Indiana fouled twice on that possession.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
2 garbage calls on Eli
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
fucking refs going to try to get them back in it
March 10th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
He was 100% leaning.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
Haha, amazing at least be consistent refs.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
How the fuck
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
OH YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME HOW DO YOU MAKE THOSE CALLS BACK-TO-BACK
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
Holy Shit refs. WTF?
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
#refshow
March 10th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
#refshow
March 10th, 2022 at 12:43 PM ^
How the literal fuck is it a block on one side & a charge on the other? It was almost the exact same play
March 10th, 2022 at 12:44 PM ^
Finally!!!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:44 PM ^
Attack Johnson.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
Houstan!!!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
The drought is over?
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
It's raining!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
Delay of game warning for putting the ball down, stopping the other team from OOB play. No whistle or warning. This crew is a mess...
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
these officials are unreal. of course the pro-IU crowd would be appeased this half. surprised they haven't called hunter with another bullshit T to get him to the bench
March 10th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
Houstan Again
March 10th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
DeVante's season seems to have turned around when he remembered to be a scorer again, like he was before coming here.
(Edit: weird double post showing up 17 minutes later)
March 10th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
Dude gets to the rack strong.
Its like he took some time to get his confidence at this level.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
Here we go!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
I guess Houstan was saving up.
March 10th, 2022 at 12:48 PM ^
I’ll be fair…the refs are calling terrible fouls on both teams this half!
March 10th, 2022 at 12:52 PM ^
i think there were 12 fouls in the 1H. already 7 in less than 5 min this half. happens all the damn time. big ten refs suck.
