Game 18: Michigan at Wisconsin Open Thread

Champions · January 19, 2019, 5:47pm

Livers needs to start taking some shots, especially from outside. We are not going to get much scoring at the rim today from Charles and Iggy.

I will say, THIS feels like the game where end of game free throw shooting is going to come into play.

umhoops · January 19, 2019, 5:48pm

Both teams have their issues in that department.

steve · January 19, 2019, 5:49pm

I do. You’d think that the refs would scout the teams they’re calling and recognize that Wisconsin flops everywhere and that Michigan is one of the most foul-averse squads in hoops. Haha, what a silly thing for me to say.

MaizeBlue10 · January 19, 2019, 5:49pm

It’s going to be an interesting finish due to that, or seems like it.

goblue8 · January 19, 2019, 5:50pm

Agree he was way to hesitant, passed on a few good kick out 3 opportunities

chezaroo · January 19, 2019, 5:51pm

Matthews - Iggy - Livers are 0-8. One of those needs to STEP IT UP now.

steve · January 19, 2019, 5:51pm

Michigan is hitting 76% in six conference games. Wisconsin hitting only 54% in their six thanks to Happ’s garbage 32%.

Stevegrote · January 19, 2019, 5:52pm

Need something-anything- from Iggy, Charles, Livers.

MaizeBlue10 · January 19, 2019, 5:54pm

Sounds like we got our first road boos for Iggy too ha

chezaroo · January 19, 2019, 5:56pm

Only Iggy with two fouls. Now let’s go take this game in the second half. Cmon offense.

slyboogie2 · January 19, 2019, 5:56pm

Wisconsin is getting away with lots of blocking fouls imo. Also when someone flops on the charge and our guy falls forward and trips over him it’s a defensive foul. He has tripped the offensive player and it needs to be called as such.

slyboogie2 · January 19, 2019, 5:59pm

Also Wisconsin is not falling for any head fakes or double moves which means fire it up when their closing out or just take it right over them or by them on the drive. They’re not contesting the look or respecting the shot. Make them pay

CoryR · January 19, 2019, 5:59pm

0 from Iggy and Charles plus Austin Davis has our only bench points. We’re up 2. Unreal.

Bmbeach · January 19, 2019, 5:59pm

I don’t have replay but was thinking the same thing about trips. Bellein went nuts on one of the non-calls where I think Simpson was bumped/pushed as he sped around defender instead of charging.

Bambi · January 19, 2019, 6:01pm

Welp today’s not Iggy’s game. He’s forcing it way too much

Bmbeach · January 19, 2019, 6:02pm

Happ is 10/4/4 and Teske/Davis are 9/8/0. Wish announcers were paying attention.

chezaroo · January 19, 2019, 6:06pm

Great pass Poole

njosey · January 19, 2019, 6:06pm

Teske comes up limping again

Maize_achusetts · January 19, 2019, 6:07pm

Uh oh - Teske’s limping
