how big are those 2 missed throws by shields

[Fullbacksympathy]

TAI!  Just keep playing hard fellas.. we got a chance to break through.

[colhusker]

Need Tai to make it and set the press up.

[atskooc]

If nothing else, we have continued to play well today.

 

Gotta like how we're trending.

[atskooc]

I just get the feeling Michigan basketball is the new Texas football.

 

We've got to figure out a way to beat these guys!

[MichHusker]

My God shields...so disappointing

[atskooc]

I hate that Robinson dude.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Can't remember the last time shavon missed 3 straight ft.  

[Fullbacksympathy]

Terrible foul by white there.  Damn it.

To me, this game hurts more than samford and incarnate word

I suppose some of that has to do with the first syllable of your username.

These guys are nails from the line.

These guys are nails from the line.

They have some great shooters

[Fullbacksympathy]

I really feel like we got beat straight up.  They were on fire and made play after play.  Effort was good on our part.  Literally nothing went our way and we shot very poorly.

 

I'm encouraged by the press though.  I think we need to do that against the teams that live/die by the 3 (and always seem to beat us).  We were pretty dominant for stretches there.  Hopefully we'll learn a lot from this one.

I suspect Norm likes how their team is built.

Well, we did outshoot them in the first half.

[atskooc]

Well, it was a lot closer than 13 points.

 

Turds.

[colhusker]

THAT'S IT, I am tanking the challenge contest and picking us to lose the rest of the way.  We have not loss when I have done that.

Live by the Shavon, die by the Shavon.

Webster tried to get us back.

Webster tried to get us back.

Is there a sixth-man award in the B1G?  If so, he gets my vote!

Proof that we should press:  we won the turnover battle 14-10.  I'm pretty encouraged by that.  

 

I hope this game earns Morrow some more minutes.  Jacobson got killed on the boards.

I said the same thing.  They have some pretty similar philosophies in personnel and defense.  I think we need to press all three point shooting teams and try to turn the game sloppy.  It really worked tonight.  That's gotta be in the formula for beating those teams.
