Michigan vs. Ohio State Basketball Open Thread

A MAC point guard and a D-3 transfer.

Maybe next year we should bring in a home-schooled kid and a shooter from NAIA. Siena Heights should have something for us. 

This was disgusting. 

Are we just cursed in all sports?

do you lose when you're up by 20!? Must be a Michigan thing.

Choke!!!!

and playing out of control, as often happens.

Is a real genius....

You dont ride players who have sucked during the game. You switch it up if it isnt working. Livers played better than duncan yet we sat his ass on the bench for duncan. Simpson had given 17 points of offense during the half yet simmons and brooks couodnt come in?

He clearly lost them this game. The 5 he rode the last 6 minutes are not their best players. If he doesn't figure this out, they are NIT at best.

Coach B has done well at UM, but he is pissing me off this year. Dude doesn't have a clue on who should be playing. I knew at 6 minutes the starters came back and it was over.

Typical soft JB team

20 fucking point lead against one of the worst teams in the conference. Against our biggest rival. On national TV. And Beilein fucking blew it. Worse than the OSU game last year. Pathetic.

Well that was hard to watch. 

man i checked out of this game (work) when mich was up 20. wtf happened? what a terrible outcome. 

JUST LIKE FOOTBALL!!

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. 

I hope that chant is ringing in these players' heads all the way back to Ann Arbor. 

EDIT: Coaches, too. Nobody gets an exemption tonight. 

It's one thing for Duncan Robinson to miss shots, but it's entirely different if he's not even a willing shooter. He can't be on the floor if he's not attempting shots because he;s just that awful on defense. Livers and Poole gave them some energy to get back the lead but they went back to Matthews and Robinson and it all dissipated. 

I've seen in awhile followed by probably the worst half of bball ever under Beilein.

Forgot how to shoot.  Forgot how to hustle.

 

And the substitutions by Beilein were inexplicable.  Why didn't Poole play more minutes after his breakout game?  Why play Simpson down the stretch when you need an offensive spark?

 

Just a totally bizarre game.

So annoying.  Pissing away games.  Sleeping on the bench.  No fucking defense.  Really no excuses for this bullshit.  

Stop watching until February/March in hopes his team improves massively. So sick of watching brutal basketball to start every year.

Let's stop playing OSU for awhile, they have the craziest mental edge over Michigan.

Congrats coach. You just got beat by a rebuilding OSU who had to take one of our bench players to be able to field a competent team. Hey, at least Brando thinks you hold good practices. Maybe we can hang a practice champions banner in the arena.

You can blame Coach B on both of the chokejobs..

Shout out to Maizen. One of the worst losses of Beilein's career. Continues to prove himself as one of the worst in game personnel managers of any respectable coach.

20 point lead to a 9 point loss against an awful team. Can’t wait to hear the excuses from Beilein apologists this time.

48-19 OSU to finish. Ouch.

All 11 of OSU points were at free throw line

48-19....I mean, I'm so effin' pissed right now.

to play Poole, Brooks and Livers way more while Robinson and Simpson need their minutes condensed in a big way

Is Beilein downvoting posts from the bench?

What an embarrassment.

Hilarious listening to them praise coach B's playbook size as he puts up 19 points in the second half. Brutal collapse there.

Coach B better realize that the best players on this team are not the veterans. If Robinson isn't hitting 3s he is a HUGE LIABILITY. Livers needs to start over him. And Matthews has been non-existent since Maui. Why did Poole not play more?

Pathetic. If Robinson misses his first two shots move him to the end of the bench. He can’t guard anyone. Total liability!

Now a documentary on this year's Game.

This is just a wonderful night. What's next, live footage of a torching of Yost Ice Arena?

What a terrible Monday
