Down 8-5. They are hitting their 3's at the start.

No idea. I still don't believe it.

HOLY CRAP CHESTER!!!!!! THATS MY MAN!!!!!!!!

Michigan's really hitting their shots. Looks like it won't be a 39% shooting day for them again.
blocki75
I hope they cool off with the 3's. Get on them!
ChainsawFan
And now they're shooting 40% to our 57%.

Nice of the refs to screw us out of a point.

How did they miss the angle that clearly showed Brock's feet behind the 3 point line?

ChainsawFan
He was behind the line, but juuust barely.

Still should've been a 3.

Probably hard to see on a 10" screen. :lol

I have a feeling Legion is about 3-4 games away from figuring it all out. Busting out 20+ is just a few games away.

Pretty entertaining game so far, I think we need to tighten it up a little though if we're going to win. Michigan is getting a couple too man uncontested shots.

It is entertaining, and again we're showing our maturity in hanging in on the road, even when we fall behind. Like Purdue, the officiating seems kind of random. What, exactly, is a foul again?

Yea, he still seems a little unsure in the motion offense.

The BTN is borderline unwatchable. Who knew Jeff Jordan was Michael Jordan's first sibling? Or that Trent Meacham played for Michigan?
ChainsawFan
Wow, 11 for Brock in the first half.
erik
Wow. Hell of a game so far.

Well, there are two guys on the court wearing #1. I can see how that's confusing.

Yeah, that means we're undefeated!

Or that we won versus clemson, I could of sworn we lost that game.

My favorite was the graphic that said "8-0 Illini run in last 8:40." That was 7 1/2 minutes into the game.

BAM will get the 3 point thing figured out. scUM is already at their season avg on 3's, so the stats say the get cold in the 2nd half. Illini win by 12
JeffFrank
Bruce with the marker stache. lol.gif
Franklin
I'll take a 1 point lead at the half of a game that Michigan is shooting lights out from 3. We're getting great shots and our perimeter defense should tighten up in the 2nd half.

Hope so. All those scUM guys are hitting 3's.
illinibri92
Yea, Jeff. That was me. I still think he is dorky, but the dude has made me eat crow....at least so far. I am back on the bandwagon...... I am man enough to admit it. You're still dangerously loyal.... lol.gif
Manhattan
I had to stare at Weber's face for 10 seconds to determine he's starting a stache. I wonder if the team put him up to it? Whatever the reason, it's hilarious.
krup
The offense is beautiful thus far, but the defense has been atrocious.
erik
Lucas-Perry fouled the hell out of Davis on that.

We're takin' it to the hole now, give us some foul calls dammit!
Glaze72
How many times are the refs going to let Michigan get away with moving screens to set up threes? I 've seen two already!

Interesting that Tisdale is sitting to start the half. Bruce sacrificing height for speed to counter the perimeter game.
bogieredmond
OK, maybe this game just moves too fast for 60+ year olds to officiate?

Yep, just saw the replay. He hacked Davis big time! eusa_wall.gif

I'm still waiting for Michigan to go cold from behind the arc. Hasn't happened yet.

If it does, we take this game. If not, it's going down to the wire.

Bruce getting painfully out-coached.
erik
I love how this team always has an answer.
feartheillini
Neither team is playing great defense. But they are more reliant on good shooting than we are, so I like our odds slightly more than theirs.

For the last time, Meacham plays for the orange team...

Agreed. Beilein making changes left and right to frustrate us, and Bruce just wiping marker on his face again.

scUM has missed their last three 3's. eusa_clap.gif

Man, it's been a while since I've had these kind of butterflies during a game!
feartheillini
They can keep shooting 25 foot threes. If they hit them, more power to them; but it's more likely they'll shoot themselves out of the game.

For real. Honestly, UM needs this game more than we do, but we're still answering their desperation pretty well. If we're going to win this one, UM's spirit needs to be broken. I don't like our chances in a last-second frenzy.

I was hoping that would have happened already...
