Game 14: Michigan at Purdue Open Thread

We have no rim protection

And to think, there’s an alternate universe where this is the Nojel Eastern revenge game and we get a 15,000 word exposé from BQ after a 2-5 from the floor 4 point, 3 assist performance. Not all is bad in the world.

Foul trouble does not help matters there

Livers’s signature shot is an unguardable NBA move and he hits it at a pretty good clip.

That was another foul by williams on the screen

I was kind of hoping for a hunter lob while livers was drawing two defenders but not realistic

Anybody would adventure a guess of the score right now with Sasha playing?
I would go with 60-55 Michigan

This is exactly it. He just feels the need to fill dead air. Just let the PBP guy talk more.

Nice road win. Didn’t play great but taking care of business. Just a better team than Purdue most nights

Purdue is shooting 37% from two. Broke U-M down on a few ball screens but I’m not sure you can say “no rim protection.”

Sasha not playing feels exactly like Brooks not playing against Minnesota. Is he worth 15ish points himself? No. But if he’s playing this is a close game the entire time.

Yeah I’ve come all the way around on my Isaiah Livers can’t make it in the NBA takes.

If Saddiq Bey’s a first rounder, Isaiah should 100,000% be drafted. Throw him in that role for the Pistons today and he’d be just as good.

Hey Bardo: No, that wasn’t the turning point.

Why’s Wagner way in the back?

I like how Hunter wasn’t afraid to hit the cutter. Hit him if he’s open, otherwise kick it out.

He’s in timeout

Livers making both sides of the pod happy tonight.

That seems like the most obvious charge of all time to me
