Game 10: Michigan at Illinois Open Thread

Teske hands straight up, foul. Juwan needs to fight these refs

M bench has to produce something here. Create a spark.

I’m very curious to see when and if Juwan starts jawing at the refs. Little bit of a test here, IMO.

3 fouls in the first 20 minutes
7 in under the last 8 minutes

I’m sure the refs aren’t bias here /s

OK guys, hear me out. I think I’ve figured out why the B1G is undefeated in conference at home.

Next 12 minutes is going to tell us a lot, win or lose.

Illinois has a history of getting upsets but they have pedigree of folding over too.

A big part of what homecourt advantage consists of, let’s put it that way.

Every team should stay with corner three point shooters and just not help. This is the second game they have done that and Michigan had really struggled against it. Looking like in trouble here need to get a win on Saturday now.

X needs to seek out Livers man. Two possessions recently we had an open Livers 3 if it was recognized.

Castelton needs to get tougher.

Yup X needs to find Livers. They need to get him more shots.

Big sequences coming. Shave it to 4, by 4.

They are only down 8 with inconsistent reffing and poor 3 point shooting. Plenty of time.

Feels like X is trying to do too much offensively.

True but they dropped at home to Miami, FL.

IIRC, studies show that something like 90% of homecourt advantage is just the refs being influenced by the crowd.

Loved a minute ago, when X collected everyone around him and said “hey, give me the ball! Give me the Ball!”
