Game 17: Michigan at Iowa Open Thread

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that people think we are playing to our talent level, even adjusting for the Livers injury. I would guess if I looked at the Torvik splits that we’ve been playing at an NIT level since the Bajamas.

It’s not great.

Oh yes, it was three top 100 players.

Just a team full of top tier talent. Unbelievable that they’d struggle on the road against a top 15 Kenpom team.

I’m reacting to 6 weeks of evidence… not one game.

It worked to give up those baskets to Garza last game when we were ahead all game. Harder when we’re trying to come from behind.

We just don’t have a prayer of guarding these guys

How many four stars do you think Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois have…

I figured the season was going to be up and down, for a lot of reasons. But did anyone think that our defense would struggle like this especially our interior defense where we had the most experience? I for one did not.

Probably a similar amount. Thus losing close games on the road. That’s how this sport works.

When you’re in a sand pit with a shovel. . . rest, breathe pal. We’re not here for a persistent critique of Juwan’s coaching. Start a thread. Don’t be surprised if no one visits.

I just don’t get how people can watch us play this last month and not say there are legit concerns about this team and coaching. I’m not saying Howard needs to be fired but saying that “we just don’t have the talent” to beat Minnesota, Iowa or Illinois on the road when a team like Wisconsin has beaten OSU and PSU on the road this year is lazy and sunshine blowing. You can discuss your own team while acknowledging their flaws.

Literally half of these fouls could go uncalled. It ruins the game

Got some vintage Austin Davis bump fouls in this one.

Exactly how many road teams have won in the Big Ten at all this season? You’re basically half way there in listing them all out…

Down 5 at the under 4 on the road against Kenpom #15 without our best scorer.

And yet apparently it’s time to be really concerned about Juwan Howard.

I mean…

Not the place for hot takes, especially not repeated over and over. You’ve registered your concern. We’re down by five. Save it or start a thread.

We just stink defensively. Who misses Yaklich yet?

Some people shouldn’t even be acknowledged…
