39-30..cant complain but don't feel safe either.

Michigan was cold early but now starting to hit

Hyatt has had some good and bad

Cliff needs to learn that he doesn't have to shoot off a rebound

Cliff playing solid D tho without fouling

Again we will need to ride Geo and Ron with some sprinkling in of others

Our D needs to be solid

Getting Caleb back in will help

Need to score over 70 to win. If Michigan scores over 70..i dont like our chances

That was not a charge. Hyatt getting a lot of playing time. He’s talented but very raw IMO finds himself in the wrong position quite a bit

If the refs are pro Michigan tonight know that Michigan has a huge fanbase..just explaining why they are taking that angle tonight. Not saying its right but ive seen them do this before

It was 13-20, 6-9
Closed out the 1st half, 1-9, and 1-4 from 3
Most of it was Cliff frustrated not scoring on Dickenson, 1-7, 0-1 from 3

We couldn't keep up with the shooting tear we were on... 9-point lead is right about where we should be.

Need to match Michigan's intensity early in second half. Trailing team always comes out of the gate a-blazin.

D Jones on Michigan with 0 is huge. Remember 2 of Michigan's main guys are frosh. They are not doing well tonight. They played only 7 and hopefully get fatigued

Experience matters. Ron, Geo, Paul,and Caleb. No excuse not to close this out

Yep. We were warned. Ever since we came into the league fans of B1G schools told us to get ready for the Michigan and Ohio State bias. It will be hot and heavy. They were right.

team playing loose. This is when we're at our best. When the team plays loose and acts like it's pick up. Transition hand off 3's, running up and down, etc. Geo looking real good and Ron unconscious. Cliff does need to learn how to high point boards tho

These commentators- really poor job

they’re missing the story here

it’s their job to make the broadcast as exciting as possible and the STORY in this game is Rutgers. They should be playing up the fact that RU is up big against a team they’ve never beaten. THAT is the angle!

but they can’t help themselves.it’s all about what Michigan needs to do

just a bad job

They are getting a friendly whistle but the only call that was really criminal against us was that second one on Caleb with the guy out of bounds. That was a bad call and it hurt us when we came back to earth on shooting not to have him on the floor (or play first half minutes with 2 fouls).

We have to be ready to withstand a run by UM. The crowd needs to get loud and fuel our defensive intensity.

Pike is going to have to keep Paul and Caleb in the game and if the fouls come, they come. Jalen is not ready, and Hyatt doesn’t have the basketball IQ.want Mag in as sixth man. Reiber gets four minutes. Live or die w starters.

No way both calls on Paul were horrible not even close to being fouls

I’ve never heard that a broadcasting team (in a neutral situation like this) is supposed to angle their commentary to the fan base with the bigger viewership. I’ve never heard that. Never
