Game 17: Northwestern at Michigan Open Thread

That was a weird game. Really think the refs were messing with everyone for real.

This seems like a very strange punishment, which I will gladly suffer in exchange for a W.

Team did show something - pretty great that they rallied with everything that happened - Faulds showed balls of steel, and honestly, Houstan putting up that 3 was the play of the game.

I enjoyed the ā€œJace grabs a guy, remembers Michigan is up 2 and they don’t want to foul, lets him go, puts his arms up to call attention to himself, and… the officials somehow don’t notice.ā€ part.

Motion for it to still be the Faulds game

OK, you spelled it right. Impressed. I had to check.

I was thinking Juwan should sub Johns for Faulds in case Nance missed his FT.

How could I forget

That was such a weird ending. Was angry and then it sunk in that we won and it’s relief now. Not at all our best game but we needed the win and we got it.

Most importantly we had our usual second half nose dive and managed to turn it around which is huge for our confidence

Yeah, would have been good to not have Faulds in there for boards, but dunno who else at that point. Not Johns, really.

Amazed that Brandon Johns would not be used to rebound free throws at the end of the game.

Told you guys we wanted Jace in there in winning time. For some crazy reason.

I was really really thinking of you when they put up that desperation 3 :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

Awful, awful, awful, awful game. Northwestern can crawl back to Extramadura, Hades, whatever version of H e ll they hail from.

I was really hoping he’d hit one free throw but give it to him anyways.

It’s like trying to spell rhythm, which I also had to look up.

Crawl you say? This just begs for the pic of Chris Collins on his hands and knees.

Been in enough game threads here to know when there is that much complaining about officiating, there was a legit problem with how it was called.

Anyway, great win in a close game finally. Will be good for this team going forward.

Absolutely MASSIVE 3s by Caleb and Devante saved us. And great D by Faulds down the stretch
