Go Blue!

Thanks for continuing these game threads, Bob.

 

[biggunsbob]

No problem! Sorry I’m not very focused today.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come ref. That’s a push

 

[biggunsbob]

Same thing as the Arkansa game. Shooting decent in the first half and cannot seem to pull away. Oklahoma keeps hitting threes.

 

[biggunsbob]

Here we go. Same thing happen to the ladies last night. So many ticky tack fouls were called.

 

[biggunsbob]

Three misses in a row in second free throws.

 

[biggunsbob]

Not a fan of this lineup. Walters looks lost on offense.
Finally he hits a wide open three. He is 1/5 now. All wide open.
He needs to hit the long shot. He just keeps clanking shots.
He is freaking wide open.

 

[biggunsbob]

Walters leaves his man on defense for an easy bucket and misses yet another three to end the half. He ends half 1 for 6 from three. I’d rather have Burnett or will take his shots. Team would have a much bigger lead if Sam could hit open shots.

Sadly the team is 2-14 from three. In the first half. Only reason it’s close.
Sooners are 6/12.
Michigan leads 43-38 at half.

 

[biggunsbob]

Um just cant buy a three.

 

[biggunsbob]

Ridiculous. They called a continuation basket for Arkansas last week but not for Michigan this week.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan is now 2 for 21 from three. Only reason we can’t pull away.
(13:15) left. Just a ok percentage from three and the lead would been large. Sadly they are letting them hang around. These are mostly wide open looks too. It’s a clank fest.
Must be me. I leave room to give wide a pill and the hit a three.

 

[biggunsbob]

My God this is a bad call. Will is just trying to get room on a rebound and they called that. I give up. Such a weak call.

 

[biggunsbob]

Back to back threes !

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan 7-0 run has lead back up to 68-57 with 9:54 left.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just like that Michigan goes lazy and lead is back down to 5. This team cant seem to hold leads. Poor shooting from three doesn’t help.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wolf commits a turnover and now the lead is all gone. Trail by two. This team has to learn how to finish. 5:41. Trail 76-74.. terrible
It’s crazy how this team goes into a shell so fast.

 

[biggunsbob]

4-27 from three

 

[Mitchrapp]

Coming down to the wire.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan blows another close game they should have won.
