U of M MEN'S BASKETBALL: 2018-2019

Davis... love his effort, but the biggest liability on defense.

[hack]

In good shape. I'd get Teske out as soon as Happ's back in. Get him through this half with 1 foul and play comfortable in the second.

[hack]

In great shape. Just get out of the half with Teske with a single foul.

[hack]

Get Teske out of there and have Davis hammer Happ a few times. They're gonna blow the whistles anyways.

This floor isn't in shape to play basketball on and probably even dangerous. M's traveled a couple times from it and it's limited their penetrators from getting to the basket. Just really hope it's not by design on Wisky's end.

Not bad for Matthews and Iggy being held scoreless.

Poole carried this team on offense in the 1st half.

I was thinking that too. Kohl Center is everything that makes a road game a road game.

Looking fucking great. Up two making just one 3. Would love to go at Happ and put a foul or two on him early in the second, but looking great. Teske with just one foul, Davis wasn't embarrassing himself. Guarding the 3 line and making a few -- that's what it's gonna take for either team, IMO.

[Cody_Russell]

The stagnant / sloppy offense (turnovers) is really hurting M today.

In trouble down 4 as Wisconsin has the ball.

[hack]

Time for Z to control this offense. Massive respect for Wisconsin.

[Hannibal]

Fucking Trohl Center

That 3 when Wisconsin went up 48-44 was the backbreaker. Poole started forcing and nobody else could step up.

Kind of a passive second half coaching by Beilein. Didn't see any much of an effort to get Matthews the ball on the wing with a mismatch. Either the Teske roll was going to work or Poole was going to make a shot. Not as if Iggy just shot poorly or Matthews shot poorly -- Wisconsin took stuff away. So, a very good back-to-the-drawing-board loss, if that's what it's gotta be. Stay hungry.

I thought there was a good balance to the bad calls. Far from the worst-reffed game I've seen. I thought it was going to be touch fouls all afternoon, but the refs really let them play after the first TV timeout.

Overall, sucks, but you want the conference foes to season the team for the tourney. Let's let the spotlight fall on somebody else now for a while.
