Actually the refs got that one right. Simpson pulled Loyer backwards.
If Loyer isn’t a gnome then he probably doesn’t fall backwards with so little contact.
Delaney called this in.
F these refs
Actually i think Z very sneakily pulled his wrist which contributed to the fall.
I saw the same thing. It’ll often get missed, but it was a legitimate call. I’d say about 3 of Michigan’s 8 fouls were legit.
To be fair, I didn’t see anything on Winston’s second foul either, and I’ll happily take that one.
JESUS FUCK HE FUCKING TRIPPED
We will have to beat Sparty by 12 because refs will spot MSU at least 10
That foul on Simpson . . . was not remotely a foul!
Wtf was that? These refs are bought
Where is Livers?
Autobench
Fouls I think
Michigan hitting the boards well.
M didn't match Sparty’s intensity at Cropisler but they are now. Plus Goins isnt doing shit.
Winston has been out for 4 minutes and we are NOT capitalizing.
Well, how long have Iggy and Livers been out? We're doing fine.
Lol -- we've been playing Brooks, DDJ, Castleton and Johns a lot.
Just hold the 10 point lead and be happy until we get our players back in for the 2ns half.
You could also say Iggy & Livers out, and MSU not capitalizing. Both teams got a bit of foul trouble.
Brooks making some solid plays. Don’t trust him with ball on O, but making some key UM plays.
Not a shooting foul?
Boys came to play tonight! Loving this so far!!!
only getting the 'gamecast' from espn, but it looks like eli brooks came to play today!
If we can survive the last 4 minutes we’ll be alright.
Brooks is stepping up BIG!
brooks playing his best game in the past 3 months
Playing 6 on 5 and up 10
Our guys are playing defense with great effort and shooting well so far. Izzo bought 3 or 4 calls MSU didn't deserve. Hope that does not continue to make foul trouble worse.
Our offense just doesn't know how to get a ball to a big man in the low post. Teske isn't getting enough touches down low in the paint.
Either that, or MSU is defending the passing lanes well.
Sparty has no one beside Winston to create anything. This is definitely going to be a battle of the back ups.
Unfortunately the refs have made this unwatchable, yet I’ll watch to the end.
The feels like Brooks' best game in ever... Hopefully he can keep it up, and hit more than the one 3 he has. That pull up looked good, but wasn't very close. Gotta a bit better than that!
Auto bench working right now. Keep it at 10 by half and we in damn good shape.
Beilein coaching a gem of a first half so far. Doesn’t need to ride the refs yet.. we’re just outplaying them
Agree
Why can't officials just do their job? Part of your job is to ignore the crowd and whiny bitch coaches and try to be impartial. Officials always get a pass on this.
Our starters will be well rested for the second half. MSU is gassed.
Outstanding defense from Brooks!
Nice tear drop Z !!
Zook!!!
(or is it "Zhook"?)
MSU doesn't have honors physics..
Why the terrible shots?
We’ve been playing with 3 or less starters for most of the game. And here they go slapping the floor again.
Good T.O.
Poole propensity to try and do to much had really been a momentum killer at times
Agree, but. Who is going to score with Poole, Z, Brooks, Castleton, and Johns on the floor.
go fuck yourself with your floor slap little brother
Floorslap. Hahaha.
Floor slap sighting ?
Stop trying to be a fucking hero and play within the offense
We suddenly decided to take bad shots
