Basketball thread, for those of us out of range of the Sklars

Unfortunately with Warde the thought process is always, "now lets not be hasty..."
February 29th, 2024 at 9:02 PM ^
Out of curiosity why do you think he gets another year? I don't think not firing a coach in season necessarily equates to not firing the coach ever.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:02 PM ^
Easy enough answer. Warde.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:02 PM ^
It's impressive how awful this team is.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:03 PM ^
We should shoot uncontested layups like Rutgers.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:03 PM ^
Turned it off after that. They tipped the fucking ball on a pass out top and nobody from Michigan is aware the ball is still bouncing and Rutgers dude goes and gets it, takes a couple dribbles and lays it in. Done!
February 29th, 2024 at 9:07 PM ^
That is the epitome for how awful this team is, then they cut to Juwan who is merely glaring out at the floor. That is a really good time coach to lose your marbles and get your team fired up, something, anything. Work your way into a T or something to get your guys going. They are merely going through the motions just trying to get to the painful end of this season.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:03 PM ^
And Kane ties it. LGRW
February 29th, 2024 at 9:05 PM ^
There is a zero % chance out players give a damn about playing defense . That is a brutal effort attempt out there . Embarrassing
February 29th, 2024 at 9:07 PM ^
Team seems completely checked out, with possible exception of Cheddar.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
And the guy that called them out on it, Sanderson, got fired.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:06 PM ^
they'll be significantly worse next year lmao
February 29th, 2024 at 9:08 PM ^
Worst team in over 50 years, yet this is still possible.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:07 PM ^
Dude just said Rutgers scored 44 in the entirety of their last game. Against us they have that nearly in the first half.
And we still are not playing the freshman. We trying to develop seniors right now for their business careers?
February 29th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^
I think we have 1 freshman? We have 2 open scholarships..this team is just a shell and will be scary bad next year when half of what is there now bolts
February 29th, 2024 at 9:47 PM ^
Correct, Washington is the only freshman.
February 29th, 2024 at 11:37 PM ^
February 29th, 2024 at 9:08 PM ^
How can we not get even 1% better each game? We’re just getting worse and worse. It’s pretty painful to watch.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
What you’re seeing is a lack of any basketball skill set or coaching combined with players who are checked out.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:18 PM ^
But other than that, how was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
February 29th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
I can't believe it, but this is actually the worst performance of the year.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
Good God. I just turned the game on. WTF is going on with this team?
February 29th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
This reminds me of Amaker's teams, where the offense dribbles and passes way beyond the 3-point line until 6-7 seconds left on the shot clock.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
Its pretty entertaining watching this team do everything horribly.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^
We are making Rutgers look like 1991 UNLV
February 29th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
Reminds me of coaching 3rd and 4th graders, a little pressure on the ball and they try to throw over the trap instead of stepping through the double. Help side has no idea where the ball is or when a shot goes up. The fundamentals are so bad.
At least I can go to bed at halftime.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:13 PM ^
Is Reed in serious foul trouble? He isn't even trying on defense.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:20 PM ^
Or comical foul trouble?
February 29th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^
This team looks so poorly coached. I am astonished considering the pedigree of the who staff.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:14 PM ^
Aha!. New plan. Foul out all the Rutgers starters!
February 29th, 2024 at 9:15 PM ^
8 turnovers already. I cannot imagine what John Beilein thinks about this team and program right now.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
Play the walk ons !!!!!!!
February 29th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
How about a fun drinking game? Have a shot every time Rutgers gets a layup,
February 29th, 2024 at 9:17 PM ^
That sounds like a dangerous drinking game
February 29th, 2024 at 9:18 PM ^
I'm not trying to die of alcohol poisoning.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:18 PM ^
Drinking Jack Daniel’s and watching the Wings
February 29th, 2024 at 9:17 PM ^
This basketball team is just going through the motions. I bet everyone is counting down the days until the season is over
Shame on the Red Wings for adding an ad patch on their sweater!!!!!
February 29th, 2024 at 10:46 PM ^
I legit hope we forfeit our game in the B1G tournament. I know we won't but it would be the correct thing to do.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:17 PM ^
We need to start dishing out some NBA fouls. Rutgers is just driving with impunity with no concern for the defense. Start knocking their asses down. Show some frigging heart.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:18 PM ^
Holy shit. What a goal.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:19 PM ^
This is rough. How can Warde bring this staff back for another year?
February 29th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
He cannot, and he will not. If Howard comes back, there will be multiple staff changes below him.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:19 PM ^
Watching this game, I can confidently say Rutgers is a bad basketball team. Yet, they lead us 41-21.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:20 PM ^
Damnit! had I not checked mgoblog I wouldn't have even known Michigan was playing.. checked the score and ouch.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
Howard clapping after that twill shot is giving me flashbacks of Brady Hoke
February 29th, 2024 at 9:24 PM ^
Everything about him gives me Hoke vibes except for his temper.
February 29th, 2024 at 11:00 PM ^
Hoke was never this incompetent.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:21 PM ^
8-0 run closes it to 17. Sheesh...
February 29th, 2024 at 9:24 PM ^
A very Juwan end of half possession.
February 29th, 2024 at 9:24 PM ^
Reed showing (surprise) no awareness with the clock running down.
