My biggest complaint about this team is whenever they get a decent lead. They start taking every three humanly possible rather than building the lead through high probability baskets. They'll miss five in a row, and the other team will come back almost 100% of the time. It's so infuriating
We are #326 in percentage of shots that are threes.

What games do you people watch?

Getting really disgusted watching this team. How the hell can you not make a FT. We should be beating this ****** team by 20 points
PAUL MUL for about the 5000th time cover your 3pt shooter. Stop helping when your help is not needed

We are only down 3... we are at home... playing strong D... still expect to win... we certainly make it harder on ourselves than necessary

That’s deceiving though. A lot of it was with Reiber in there. He’s unplayable. That stretch where we gave Dickerson confidence by unloading the bench was so stupid.
There really was no reason not to try Wolf. He is more physical and Dean wasn't getting it done on either end. The team wasn't near the bonus either with Wolf picking up fouls a lot lately

100% agree. Pike needs to send out more athletic big man against Michigan who can keep up with the movement

Hyatt is shook. He pulls that 99x out of 100 if he wasn’t playing so bad.

Offense really stinks.

10-2 run for Michigan since Caleb checked back in.

Need Cliff back.

Looking forward to Simpson growing up over the next few years kid has an it factor and athleticism.
Nice try. Leave this crap for Shelby. We were doing great with Caleb in there for several minutes until Pike decided to leave him in there basically on his own to run the offense with the bench unloaded. Had nothing to do with Caleb entering the game and everything to do with Cliff sitting along with Paul. Awful subbing decision there. The fact that Caleb isn’t 100% made it even worse than usual.

If there is a way to make a game harder on ourselves than it needs to be, we will find a way. Tonight so far….free throws

It’s also deceiving because we missed 8 foul shots and I think 4 of them were rebounds for UM.

Keep making Bufkin and whoever else shoot threes.

Do not let Dickenson get touches on the blocks.

We gave up 26 points lol

also a lot of calling the team stupid.. the last play was stupid, sure, but the main reason we are losing is just bricking fts (and everything else) which is not really an intelligence issue
what's stupid to me is a team that struggles to score yet can't see what/who is working and run with it. So early Cam was on fire good. But then he stopped. Clearly Cliff can on rebounds and movement but he can't make a freaking foul shot so don't post him up. Paul and Caleb are scoring but not taking enough shots. Instead its Dean and Hyatt.

OK... back to the TV. Sorry. Halftime ...oh frack me with these foul shots!!! do they want to win the damn game????? home game???
