U of M MEN'S BASKETBALL: 2018-2019

[The Oracle]

I think OSU will junk it up with a lot of zone and we'll junk it right back with our zone offense. Luckily, OSU cant score. 60s to 50s. Spread seems about right.

[WingsFan]

Poole for 3 finally have the lead

[WingsFan]

Wide open shots not falling. osu is just daring Michigan to make them.

[hack]

Unsure how this Ohio State team lost five straight. every time I've seen them this year, and this is the third, they've been a decent team.

Michigan playing its usual good defense and cold from 3. Rebounds early were an issue.

[hack]

Before JD takes me to task for it, let me say that Dakich does seem to be dishing out some irrational anti-Michigan nonsense tonight especially. I assume he'll still be good for some astute obsrvations as the season rolls on, but we'll see.

[hack]

Leaving so, so much on the table. Not surprised if this is the night they stumble to that unexpected loss.

[WingsFan]

3 on 1 break and no bucket come on

[hack]

Hasn't really been an effort to get teske involved in the offense tonight. Or put fouls on Wesson.

[WingsFan]

Simpson just went at Wesson...hes a foot taller. The football team never shows that emotion in the rivalry. What a shame.

[hack]

Was just coming here to post exactly that.

[hack]

It's a serious accomplishment that Wesson got himself in foul trouble. Michigan's almost gone out of its way to help him stay out of it.

[hack]

Interesting -- Wesson had 3; broadcast said it was 4. Holtmann benched him over that perhaps?

Anyhoo, congrats to Z on the triple-double. They still left just a ton on the table offensively, and OSU beat them to some loose balls, but otherwise the defense was great all night.

Quietest night in a long time for Teske on offense. Was really hoping we'd see more pick/pop. Fully weaponize that, because Teske's been shooting well enough to earn some of those, and let's let him get in a rhythm.

[The Oracle]

If we ever get our transition offense to where it was last year, we'd really be cooking. Falls on Poole and Matthews. Gotta get better.

It's not anti-Michigan stuff that makes him unlistenable. He's just abrasive in general. Too much love of his own voice.

[hack]

Well can you name one that doesn't do that? all I ask for is that they make interesting observations, which he definitely does. Would love to see Tom Crean flame out at Georgia and be back in the booth. Very awkward, but very insightful.
