Game 24: Wisconsin at Michigan Open Thread

I’ll give you Poole’s foul but Livers was trying to get out of the guy’s way. That should not be a call.

I will say that we fouled one of their 3-point attempts and got away with it though.

What is Wisc doing so different on D so as Iggy and Charles struggle so much? Because its hard to imagine winning many games where they contribute so little.

I don’t mind Dakich ¯_(ツ)_/¯ He’s just annoying at times but I’m ok with him calling games.

One of them (Lamont Simpson) has been. The other 2 have been baited by Wisconsin and are falling for their crap.

Who said the officiating has been great? I don’t think I’ve commented on the officiating once since the game started.

My opinion on officiating is that good calls, bad calls, they all come out in the wash and even out over time. It is human nature to remember the ones you don’t like.

Yeah, but he didn’t. Can’t jump there, or if you do, it has to be vertical. Ref was right there on the baseline…thought it was an easy call…also inconsequential caz the kid missed the +1…

The length that Wisconsin has really makes an impact on Iggy I think. Reuvers is a really good shot blocker and Happ is also a great defender.

Analysts are going on and on about Happ scoring, but no mention of how not doubling on him has allowed us to take their 3pt shooters out of the game? Davison didn’t take one I don’t think, Trice’s were tough off the dirbble. Reuvers didnt take one and Pritzl took maybe one

Iggy got great looks from 3, he just has to start hitting some.

Do we counter with more shooting? Maybe more minutes for Livers in the 2nd half? Dont think we lose anything on defense with that witch in fact we may be slightly better defensively with Livers.

Michigan can’t win today if Iggy and Charles are non-factors again. Iggy is getting good looks, he has to can them like he did against Rutgers.

I like more Livers. He looks pretty dialed in.

But literally all 3 fouls on Michigan have directly affected the scoreboard. The charge that took 2/3 points off the board, the block from standing under the rim and the “moving” screen that could be called on any possession.

Plus the fouls not called on Happ (Teske missed layup photo) the charges and Wisconsin’s infuriating style of play makes these things loom large in a game like this

Iggy has to make wide open threes. He’s had some great looks.

The biggest issue with the calls or missed calls were the momentum changes they created. I’m taking away Charles great dunk on the pass from poole was the only shot he made I think.

Boy, has he ever. Gotta keep taking them.

One other shooting comment: has X ever gone ofer on hooks?

He made one early on, didn’t he?

Looks like they’re trying to get Happ his 3rd early.
