Game 17: Michigan at Iowa Open Thread

Superfan16 · January 18, 2020, 4:18am

7 of our next 11 at home. Those 4 road games are at Nebraska, Northwestern, Rutgers (MSG), and Purdue. Time to go on a run (hopefully with Livers back).

Welp that’s 2-6 in the last 8 against HM teams. Can’t get Livers back soon enough.

WTF did they review for a DDJ flagrant? How did they keep missing the Weiskamp hook and hold?

RyanInHolland · January 18, 2020, 4:19am

How’s Weiskamp, after replay, not guilty of the hook and hold? I thought that was a “point of emphasis”

You’re garbage Iowa. Every cornhusker in the building knows without the extra 25 points at the line this game is a runway for Michigan in their own house.

IMO 2 in a row would have been won with Livers.

Woof that sucked

Actualelguapo · January 18, 2020, 4:20am

Yup, he hit a couple shots when the game was close under 5 that I think were the difference. That, and the 3 by Kreiner.

RyanInHolland · January 18, 2020, 4:20am

Agreed bob.

kellen.hayes · January 18, 2020, 4:20am

Really tough loss to swallow there. ugh. hard to accept.

Pittsnogled · January 18, 2020, 4:20am

The refs in this conference are really good at catching how many more fouls are committed by road teams than home.

Actualelguapo · January 18, 2020, 4:20am

This. This, this, this, this, this.

Logan · January 18, 2020, 4:21am

Really hope we meet them again in the Big 10 Tourney and run them out of the building.

Actualelguapo · January 18, 2020, 4:21am

They missed 2 on him. I thought the other one was much more blatant, TBH.

umhoops07 · January 18, 2020, 4:22am

Refs with the fouls and free throws disparity and bad coaching by Howard cost us the game players played well and hard!!

njosey · January 18, 2020, 4:22am

I wouldn’t want to be Penn State come Wednesday…Crisler better be rocking!

kellen.hayes · January 18, 2020, 4:23am

That game feels close to a must win now. Not quite, but hope we don’t feel too much pressure.

bacon141 · January 18, 2020, 4:23am

I can understand a big foul discrepancy on the road against a team that is very aggressive attacking the basket. Iowa is not that kind of team. Hard to stomach a close loss on the road when the other team gets 20 points on you at the line. I really hope the conference looks at this because it’s not just happening to Michigan.

Actualelguapo · January 18, 2020, 4:24am

I’m sure we’ll have something like a 30-5 free throw disparity, like we always do at home.

Tom48160 · January 18, 2020, 4:25am

The review was of DeJulius’s supposed hook and hold. Refs get punked again.

To mix sports metaphors, It’s like a pitcher that notices a weird fluke in an ump’s strike zone and going there every now and then for easy punchouts when you need them.

steve · January 18, 2020, 4:25am

If Michigan can’t beat PSU at home…well, I’d rather not consider that occurrence.
