No BB Thread? Michigan Vs. Purdue

Sluggish out of gate. Just not enough guys who can score. We need Livers BADLY.

Seems like a Michigan basketball now is missing a ton of open 3s and one guy on the other team utterly dominating against one of our better players.

This is why I shouldn’t read the game previews. Read about how Purdue sucks w/o both Haarms and Williams on the court, Haarms gets injured and is out for the rest of the game, Michigan sucks, and now I want to shove my head into the wall.

Are we playing at home? With one of their stars out of the game? Where is the crowd? Must be a bunch of people that ate too much before the game. Yawn.

This is a very clunky team. Guys like Todd, Christopher, maybe one or two other guys from this recruiting class would start now.

We are probably a bubble team without Livers.  People initially really didn’t understand how big that injury was.  He is the best player on our team by a mile, he isn’t replaceable, and the injury impacts everybody else.  I know a lot of people don’t agree with me, but if we want to keep this season alive without DDJ has to play minutes and get shots.  It may be a long shot, but I think it might be our only chance unless Livers is returning like this week.

So does guys like Todd/Christopher/Dickinson /Brown/Williams (guys not signed yet), say wow I can come in and play huge minutes right away? Or if this goes south quickly do they jump ship? I am just hoping they can do enough this year to keep those guys excited to come. Only Jackson is a lock.

8-2 Purdue so far this half. Holy shit does this team absolutely suck. I got downvoted for saying that this team is going to be on the bubble sooner than later. Can anyone say that I was wrong? If they don’t get their head out of their ass, they’re going to be on an effective four-game losing streak, two-straight at home, and 5 of their last 6. W/ two-straight road games coming up.

I hope none of our recruits are watching this. They will all decommit. This is one of the worst games I have watched. Terrible

This always frustrates me! Haarms is out the game yet we are perimeter oriented on offense. Someone please drive the ball! Don’t mind Z getting a foul for being aggressive

9-0 scoring run for Purdue despite Haarms being off the court. What the fuck, Juwan? Get your fucking shit together.

If we lose this game, it'll be an absolute struggle to finish .500 in conference and we'll be back to hoping we make the tournament.

He uses NBA rotations.  He doesn’t understand how to sub in college ball yet.  The reason our bench looks so shitty when it comes in is because they are far removed from the game still.  They are used as “spot players” instead of full rotation players.  It is a concerning pattern that has been getting worse.

Pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic. Purdue is a below-average team w/o Haarms, their leading scorer, on the court. And yet Michigan is getting absolutely killed.
