U-M Basketball vs Long Beach State - Friday Open Thread

Defense from the wings tonight has been a complete joke and it's pretty telling that LBS players are targeting both Williams and Jackson

are you fucking kidding me

Every other defensive possession sees Michigan just blow something, whether bailing on rebound allowing an easy uncontested layup when Beach secures the ball, cheating on switches & wide open mid-range, or simply beat on a straight-line drive. Break out the white flag if that's how they think the game is played.

Up 77-75, 5:13

Finally, a little energy from the team! 77-75 Michigan with 5:04 left. 'Turned down for what' should help!

Michigan fandom has been stressful lately. Let’s finish this 

It seems we're going to do last year all over again, keep inserting TWill into situations he can't handle. He'll make plays from time to time but his busts balance it out

Student broadcast almost comically bad.  Calling Burnett Barnett, no shot clock or foul graphic.

YES!!! Three second shot chances before the slam by Nkhamoua!!! 80-76 4:12 remaining...

That's how Tarris should attack the rim every time!

Have some momentum. Let's eek this out and slam the door!

We got the junior ref crew. That last flop by the Beach off ball was obvious, but they called it the other way. Pucker up folks, 4-pt game at under 4 media TO...

The mental lapses on defense are so frustrating. 

These are the games that they couldn't finish last year.   Let's see if we have some growth

Lazy pass

Tarris is taking years off of my life...

I think Reed has looked extremely pedestrian this season and downright horrible tonight

Special N to save the day.

Well that was a fun ride for the first 3 games. Weren’t we 19 point favorites?

i can get the mgoblue version of a game cast and whoever the tsohonis kid is for LBSU is having a career night. 

A cold blood three by LBST, and and-one for Nkhamuoa, a slam LBST! this one is going down to the wire...83-82 LBST with 1:42 to go...

They continue to look awful defensively.

Ugh.

This is some dogshit basketball.

Dude throws a turnover, terrible pass to the post and then stands there not getting back on defense whatsoever.  Fantastic.  More middle school elements our team sucks at this year.

Another close game. Let's see if they're "lucky" this year.

Down 85-82, 1:02 left.  Got to value the ball more.

What a wonderful fucking Friday. Fuck this shit. I need some Maryland palate cleansing. 

Absolutely pathetic. Throw this entire defense in the trash.

Martelli is a fucking awful coach 

Just like the last B!G+ game I watched last year. 

Shitty telecast

Shitty announcers

Shitty result

Back to reality. 

Welp...

Ah well, a learning experience and hopefully they can bounce back.  It's still a team with a lot of work to do.

Win or lose, good early season lessons on sleeping on your opponent. It should be understood by now, every team wants to beat Michigan's ass.

Oh wow a nice Q4 loss.

Ah, this is the shitting of the bed I remember from last year

Horrific effort by this team. Absolutely shameful. I thought we might be a tourney team this year but that’s not the case.l as it stands.

Burnett’s 5 pt explosion was wonderful … this was some pathetic effort on d

To play defense one must put hands up and contest shots.  LAZY is all I can say about this effort

LBS putting out a blueprint on how to stop Michigan. 1-3-1 zone has killed us all night. Dug unable to utilize his burst and nobody else has been able to create for themselves or others consitently enough.

Well this week sure turned into a kick in the nuts

About those vibes...
