Game 28: Michigan State at Michigan Open Thread

I’d have called a timeout.

This is exactly how I figurer it would go: the O would go cold at some point in the 2nd half and that would be that.

Would love to see what the score of the game would be if you swapped point guards

Credit to Izzo. Never thought he would

I just can’t believe how bad Michigan has been on defense today. I didn’t think MSU would be able to score with literally only one player who can put the ball on the floor

Or is sparty actually had two of it’s best players playing…yikes

Okay, if we’re going all mgoblog here I’ll check in later.

If it plays out this way, the Spartans came into our house and beat us with better defense, fewer turnovers, fewer rebounds, and worse outside shooting. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

They matchup better with us without Ward anyway

Imo it’s debatable which side of the ball was worse…I am dissapoint with the D, but ultimatley the O stalls far too often, predictably

lol. I feel you. They’re playing really well tonight. Great execution on offense. A terrific performance. We’re not matching. Simple. No chicken little needed…

Game is far from over but to say Poole is why they are losing seems a bit off the mark, He was not even on the floor when MSU made their run from down 6 to up a few.

That line up was not good, no scoring threat whatsoever and it turned the game around.

Yes there were no whistles but plenty of time outs…

In that stretch we were out coached, out hustled and out played. Cant lose them all and expect to win that stretch.

But we know a stall is going to happen on offense. Usually we play good enough defense to withstand it, but not today

I choose to consider this a throwback edition of the Open Thread.

Too many second chances off missed 3s.

MSU played harder. Beat U-M in almost every aspect.

This is how the thread is for every loss ever

Weak kinda loose ball call.

I agree it’s not Poole’s fault entirely but he has made 5-6 completely clueless plays that had a direct negative impact on the scoreboard. Fouls, flops, blown defensive assignments, and awful shot attempts.

Cmon Iggy. You’re basically begging for that call there
