Game 27: Michigan at Purdue Open Thread

That end-of-half set was NICE!

Agreed. Early I was nervous cause we were only up 2-6 pts and we were getting great looks and shutting them down, they just weren’t converting. Got hot late and that trend continued thankfully (quality looks that is)

It’s still early in this game. Love the way the refs have let them play. Our perimeter defense seems crazy good - despite Johns watching the 3 attempt at the buzzer.

Yea early on offense I was like yikes. His d was pretty outstanding throughout and then he hit shots.

When Franz hits threes too.

Sure seems like it always happens to us! Would’ve been classic for Eastern to do it too.

I don’t like Fury at 273 lbs tonight guys. Wilder is heavy too but I’m told Fury thinks he found something late in that last round and is going to try walk Wilder down. It’s going to be explosive tonight!!!

They both gained way too much weight. I don’t see it lasting past the eighth. Someone will get gassed and drop his guard.

I heard a few people talk about it and I actually think it makes sense. Get on the inside where it’s all feel and wilder can’t use his length/ attack for the distance his comfy at. It’s getting in close that is worrisome. Once there I actually think fury’s plan makes sense and he will have an advantage.

Very happy that we are soft-digging in on Trevion to make him uncomfortable. Big difference between a hard help and giving Trevion something to think about.

I still think we should hang up Burke’s jersey. National player of the year and championship game appearance beats out the ā€œonly played two yearsā€ thing IMO.

I’m dreaming of a Villanova 2018 type ending to our season where we hit threes for 9-10 consecutive games in the post-season.

Edit: we hit the 3’s and win, of course!

Let’s see how X’s career ends before we decide who better wore that number :wink:

Disagree. We need Zeb to wear #3 and continue the trend of Sophomore PGs from Ohio wearing #3 leading us to the title game.

I wish there were an option to cancel halftime and just keep playing for another 20 minutes. We were on a roll

It does make sense in theory. Wilder’s power is when he can fully extend his shots and backing him up and getting on the inside will negate that. I just don’t think Fury can implement a game plan like that for 12 rounds and not get caught. He’s legit going for the KO. This is one of the bigger ā€œbig timeā€ fight atmospheres I’ve ever seen in Vegas

They are though. Are we expecting 75% on open looks or something? We were 35% on 3’s in the first half. Subtract a couple tough shots by Livers and we are probably 50% on open looks.

Here come the fouls
