What a colossal choke job against Vanderbilt

Submitted by 1VaBlue1 on March 18th, 2023 at 2:06 PM

They gave up a 9-0 run with barely more than a minute left.  Turnovers, fouls, bad defense, horrid inbounds passing, and just plain not handling the pressure.  This is how they lost 16 games this year...

Good effort with Jett and Kobe, but good god what way to choke away a game that was won.  JFC.

When you think the team is improving they go ahead and revert back to 9th grade.   Or at least its what it looked like.  I know they hurt more than we do on a loss but how much practice time is spent on these things?

I was wrong earlier.  I said UM was without 3 guards on a 13 player roster.   They were also without Barnes who has been out a while.  He was getting meaningful minutes before his injury.      That’s 4 players at the 1-3 that were unavailable.

I love you.  Amazingly honest take.  I am actually drinking chardonnay out of a box right now, but still, this take is how I see it.  Michigan basketball is gross right now.  
 

Football school.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but with with 8 minutes to go, I just knew we would find a way to blow the lead. Honestly, I thought it would be an epic scoring drought on a minor order of the Rutgers 2nd half fiasco. Multiple turnovers in the last minute was not on my radar, but why not? Same result. I'm glad this miserable season is over so I can bury it as eminently forgettable.

FFS. You guys need to beat your meat, watch some Donovan Edwards highlights, and sleep this one off. What did you expect hiring a coach with zero college coaching experience?

I mean yeah, TWill sucks, but Juwan sucks 1000 times more for NOT realizing how bad TWill sucks at a crucial time...I dont really blame the kid, this is on Juwan for apparently not being able to remove his head up his own ass, deeper and deeper, as the season went along...so this game's penultimate coaching malfescance at the end was the fitting end to the booty juice of a coaching job he did all year.

There is no one else to put in who is better. T Will is the best option and that’s the problem! Not that he is in the game. Tschetter is not a B1G player. Jace is completely laughable on the court. Seriously watch him when he is in he is like a deer being born trying to walk. He isn’t a D2 player! 
 

Field of 68 had a great convo on the Muss bus and why he is comfortable changing over his roster. He came from NBA where that is the norm. Big difference between Muss and Juwan Muss attacks the weakness of another team over and over again(Izzo does the same) where I’ve yet to see Juwan have that ability
