Official Game Thread: IU vs Michigan

[IUHoopster]

Please pull Tamar for anyone.

Tamar is a step off on most everything he tries tonight.

 

[nafui1965]

My gawsh get bates back on the bench wood

he brings nothing on the road.

 

[stollcpa]

I feel bad for Bates. But we are just getting nothing from him. Anything tonight and we’re ahead.

 

[VanPastorMan]

What is that IU fan doing with an IU girl? He's a sell out guys.

He just looks so damn awkward. Like he's playing with oven mitts on.

She writes his papers.

 

[trailrunner]

We are blowing this game

 

[CradleofBasketball]

MR with a boneheaded freshman travel. Turnover machine.

 

[ryoder1]

Get a good shot for the love of God!

 

[trailrunner]

If we win it will be a gift.

 

[CradleofBasketball]

UM trying to give this game to IU, and IU giving it back.

 

[VanPastorMan]

All these turnovers we have done and the bad defense and we got a shot.

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

I'd take those two blown layups right now. A minimal contribution would be the world.

 

[VanPastorMan]

Dickinson bailed TJD out. TJD is tired.

 

[CradleofBasketball]

Holy chit refs finally call a hand foul on UM

 

[IUHoopster]

If we win it will be a gift.

True. I'll take it. Don't deserve it but I'll take it.

 

[CradleofBasketball]

Wow!

 

[VanPastorMan]

Holy Cow!!!!!!!

 

[trailrunner]

Defense!!!

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Such an ugly game, but I'll take it.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Sheeewee! Efu Misshitgan! Gonna sleep well tonight!

 

[Spirito76]

We played poorly & still win. It won’t be close in Bloomington.

 

[Hoosiervannah]

How the F did we win - I’ll take it but it’s crazy. Man TJD and JHS were simply amazing.

 

[TomEric4756]

Big Road Win.

 

[trailrunner]

Now we need to pay back the Wildcats.

Played good defense down the stretch … no 2nd chance PTs.

 

[IUgradman]

Give me that plate of crow. I don’t care as long as IU wins.

 

[go_iu]

Man I hate it but Bates is disappointing. Just no excuse for two missed layups.

They teach that, that's what we do. It's a misinformation tactic, let them think we meant to do it and then they will not just think that we suck and regularly miss layups. Better stay out of the paint man or i'll drive and miss it on you and take a selfie while at it, sell posters!

 

[trailrunner]

Played good defense down the stretch

True the last few possessions won the game

 

[gator mcCluskey]

Well, that’s the best road win since Xavier. I don’t care how it looked.

 

[trailrunner]

Time for a beverage. Go IU

 

[TomEric4756]

Back in 2nd place

 

[Spirito76]

I’d like to see stats for IU’s defense in the last five minutes of every game. I suspect it’s serious lock-down chit!

 

[Coach Geez]

You’re an embarrassment.

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

They better win all of their remaining home games because they sure as hell aren’t winning on the road.

The winner and runner-ups for dumbest in-game posts of the night.

It's cause they aren't any good, this is the same crap as last year.

We just don’t have a killer instinct or a refuse to lose mentality.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

I'm listening on the radio. Where is Miller Kopp tonight? Are they taking away his outside shot or is he just not looking for it?

They took him away. Most teams do but Rutgers f’ed around and found out. Kopp does his thing

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

You’re an embarrassment.

In no way untrue but more akin to a travesty IMO.

 

[Spartans9312]

You’re an embarrassment.

He’s an idiot. He’s not capable of being embarrassed

 

[Crayfish57]

He just looks so damn awkward. Like he's playing with oven mitts on.

I have said it before, he is like watching DelRay Brooks. His feet are too big, he is built awkwardly . At 6-4 he was able to dominate HS guards just like Brooks was .

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Ugly end to an ugly win, but it counts. I can’t remember the last time an IU roster felt so thin.
