Live Game Thread - Indiana vs Michigan
- Thread starter The Vid
- Start date
Making MI look like the greatest rebounding team in the history of sports. Coach needs to lay into this team. Maybe the early start has them still asleep 💤 .
oh well, maybe this is the one game where Jekyll shows up after halftime, is is it Hyde?
With TJD and Race as our bigs...sounds like those guys really understood the moment and were ready to play.
Wake me up when our program has some stones again.
I hate to even sustain hope but maybe a 2nd half like NW/Neb is in the cards.
That’s one area of consistency we can point to. We’ve missed a lot of shots all year.
Michigan simply has the more talented roster and better offensive players. This is just a flawed team.
Ha meaning that’s one of the last things I noticed after rebounding, defense, effort, dumb play.
Just disgraceful
My blood pressure is coming down a bit. I think its me coming back down to this realization. Michigan is just better than we are. AND they're a bad matchup to boot.
They're going to have an IU-like letdown to even let us back into this game, let alone blow it completely. I haven't followed them closely enough to know if theyve done that this year or not? Even if they do, we might not notice it, because we probably don't have the skills or stones to take advantage of it.
Not with the attitude they’ve shown so far today. It would just be another home loss to a team we either haven’t heard of or has a worse record than we do.
This team has no margin for error, and this is why the games are close at best. Our best player isn't consistent outside of 2 feet, and X is the closest thing to somebody that can get their own shot. I was hoping to see Woody do something more with less. This program needs consistent offense talent, especially from the 1-3 spots, stat.
This team hasn’t been able to shoot the ball for 4 years . As I said before we need to recruit basketball players , instead of athletes who look good but can’t shoot the ball . To beat IU , you pack it in the lane , and let us brick it up from outside .
You can beat Indiana that way. Many teams have this year. Michigan is a different animal, however. They don't have to "pack it in". They can easily play our strengths straight up. Which basically makes it impossible for the rest of our team to do much of anything.
The result is what we've seen. I'm not convinced we weren't "ready to play" against them last time now. They're just that much better, and that bad of a matchup.
That is what it boils down to. Some people have this notion that there is all this hidden untapped talent on this team that the coaches are just not bringing out, that this is a team that should be in the tournament. It isn't there. It's just that simple. Being able to summon the mental readiness to play is a talent as much as athleticism or hitting shots.
Second foul on X was perhaps the worst call I have seen all year and changed the game. Was there any comment on the broadcast?
They double TJD perfectly. They know he will turn to his left and shoot and double him in great position at just the right time.
X foul trouble has been huge and 2 of the 3 were questionable at best. He's the only player on our side who might have a +/- in the black today.
actually yeah..Bardo, who I don't really like, said it should have just been a 'play on'.
Speaking of Dickinson, what is the actual rule on arm bars?
I thought it automatically was supposed to be a foul if a defensive player put both his hands on an offensive post player's back. This was sometimes called the Michael Durr Rule earlier in the season.
But what is the actual rule?
B1G refs let him get away with that game after game. Will hurt him in the tourney when he's being watched by an ACC ref crew.
Watching them just now waking up and giving a shit is almost as frustrating as them getting down 15. Seriously, you could’ve had this intensity the entire game?
