Apparently everyone saw that Wilson dunk and decided we needed an open thread to talk about it. Holy crap that was awesome.

I'm guessing a win here hurts our rpi?
December 17th, 2016 at 3:16 PM ^
Not as bad as a loss.

Yes, it's the other side of the Chesapeake bay, where Annapolis is.

is considered the "Western Shore." The "Eastern Shore", of course, being the part of Maryland east of the Chesapeake.
A lot of Eastern Shore folk don't think the rest of Maryland cares about them --- some Eastern Shore folk actually want to be annexed by Delaware. Anyway, I mention that, because Ohio State stole their "We don't give a damn" song from Eastern Shore folk.
The lyrics to the Eastern Shore version of the song:
We don't give a damn about the whole state of Maryland, the whole state of Maryland, the whole state of Maryland, don't give a damn about the whole state of Maryland, we're from the Eastern Shore!
We're from the Eastern Shore, to hell with Baltimore, don't given a damn about the whole state of Maryland --- we're from the Eastern Shore!

Who'da thunk it. Thanks for the highly educational reply!

I've harped on this before but Simpson just looks so bad on offense. Just hit the under side of the rim on a layup.
December 17th, 2016 at 3:20 PM ^
December 17th, 2016 at 3:31 PM ^
I'm not saying he can't or won't be good. I'm just saying for how well he scored in HS, it's shocking how bad he looks scoring against even MD Eastern Shore

That's his 6th 2 point attempt on the year, so it's not like he does it often.
Also saying Michigan guards don't go to the rim is a tired statement. Yes they don't drive as much as other teams, but that's part of Beilein's offense. The issue is not finishing at the rim, ie Walton being a 30 some percent 2 point shooter.

Beilein has proven his system works, at Michigan, and can contend for titles. Maybe not every year, but he can do it. Until Simpson proves he can contribute at a high level, you can't compare criticisms of the two.
The reason Simpson is playing limited minutes is because he hasn't been good. A couple weeks ago there were some articles about how the coaches and players have said the load on Irvin on Walton is increased this year because for the first time in years we have no guard depth.
I'm not saying he can't or won't succeed. He can fit into Beilein's system and do well eventually, no doubt. Especially because of that quickness. But quickness doesn't mean shit if you can't finish or do anything offensively. Which Simpson objectively can't at this point. Hence his lack of playing time and production.

22-7 inside 12

Can I ask a stupid question? If you get fouled when shooting and miss, does that count as an attempt and missed shot? If you get fouled when shooting and make it, I assume that counts as an attempt and made shot.
December 17th, 2016 at 3:26 PM ^
It only counts as an attempt if you make it.

The fouls they call on Wagner are absurd.

OSU hanging tough so far with UCLA. Wonder if it's gonna be kinda like our game with them...toe to toe for a half, and then...the collapse.

OSU played them pretty darn good, tho -- I gotta admit. Their collapse wasn't quite as brutal as ours was.

Sick passing before Walton's three

If UMES is a tournament team, we might end up in the Eastern Conference Finals.

UMES has a hard time handling the ball around the 3 point line. That's 3 times they coughed it up out there.
