I wonder if Jones or Walters will be back. We have lost 8 in a row to Illinois.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

The guys gotta pull it together and finish this season strong. Win the B1G regular season! GO BLUE!

Go Blue. In 1990, my a sophomore year and the inaugural year for the Breslin Center, we went into our last game at home against Purdue guaranteed a tie for the B1G with Purdue. We won the game and the B1G outright on a last second steal and layup to beat the Steve Scheffler team.

I think if uofm drops a game between now and the rematch, we’ll be in the same position but I’d be happy to see both teams win out to the rematch and have it be for all the marbles. So go blue.

Fun fact, there was a half page photo of the team cutting down the nets the next day in the DFP and you could clearly see me in the crowd on the floor. I got an 11 x 17 print of it from the Free Press framed in my office.

Can't remember the last time we hit back to back shots. Let alone back to back threes.. the offense really is struggling.

 

[biggunsbob]

We have not had back to back buckets all first half. 5:42 left in the half. Just no spacing no decent passing. Nothing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Make your damn layups and get a damn rebound. So darn lazy.

 

[biggunsbob]

3::57. First back to back buckets by um this game.

Then they miss a three and we again don't box out and they get a and 1. Team just doesn't rebound.

 

[biggunsbob]

Again missing free throws. Goldin misses 2. Than gets a offensive foul.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wolf out of control again on a break. Offense so disjointed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Um trails 31-30 at half. Feel lucky with how poor the offense is running.

 

[biggunsbob]

Goldin now 0-3 ft. And we still can't rebound on d.

 

[biggunsbob]

Every time we get a lead we can't get a stop.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Seems like Illinois is throwing up shots from beyond the 3 point line and getting the rebounds when they miss. Not good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Defensive rebounding has killed us. Illinois just playing way better.

 

[biggunsbob]

Seems like Illinois is throwing up shots from beyond the 3 point line and getting the rebounds when they miss. Not good.

Every time

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Terrible defensive rebounding. They are on the ropes in this game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Illinois 10-30 from three . Including 2 or 3 bank shots lol.
Michigan 3-11 from three .

Getting out rebounded 37-25.
Including 17-7 in offensive rebounds..
10 more extra possessions.

Down 16 with 7:34 left. Probably not enough time.
Wolf has 5 of the 11 um turnovers.

 

[biggunsbob]

We need a 18-2 run lol.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Gettin’ boat raced.

Son of a bitch.

Goldin’s mom can’t come to the games anymore.
