Michigan Goes down!

[Class of 09]

They only showed the behind the backboard angle replay during the highlights, so I’ll have to take your word for it.

It was pretty clearly still over the rim.

He touches it twice, first touch is debatable, second touch the ball is literally in the basket and he pushes it down. Second touch was blatant.

If you really want to nitpick it’s also an over the back, he displaces the the defender boxing out

 

[Umami Zen]

Just the beginning for Michigan. Clearly an excellent team. But.. They have to navigate a tough conference schedule. Let's talk in March and see how giddy they are then.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

The national polls are a joke, we are #1 and would be undefeated if we weren’t missing 2 starters against AZ.

This is not the same Arizona that flames out every year in the tourney. They are deservedly number one.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Oh of course I know. But there were folks on the BY making them out to be the ‘76 Hoosiers. Those folks need to relax it’s early January.

Ive been very impressed with them but that type of hype was laughable.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Not to the greatest team ever.

Yeah, people need to relax.

 

[AllHusky]

When are we going to stop comparing teams to 23 and 24? The level of dominance those teams displayed in the tournament is not normal. And should not be expected to be seen again.

Thank You!!!! Agree, please stop.

If Michigan wins next game, does this thread get locked and The Michigan Is Good thread get unlocked?

 

[Scottobot]

Why would they? We have a tougher OOC and lost to number 1 in a close down 40% of the starting lineup. They were waxed at home by the #2 team in the country

The big 10 is rich with foootball money?

Let’s settle down and not throw stones. We needed OT to beat Providence who got smacked by… Wisconsin

When Villanova beat Wisconsin Nelson and his followers thought the badgers were the Michael Jordan Bulls.

Michigan has looked like the best team up until the last week or so. Struggled against Penn State and lost today. I still think they are really good but teams rarely go unbeaten. And they almost always have a WTF loss too. Though I’m not sure losing to an 11-5 conference mate on a controversial call is that much of a wtf. Long way to go yet. I don’t really care about others. If UConn keeps winning we’ll be fine.

Is the second touch what they called it for? I assumed it could only be referring to the first touch because otherwise every dunk could qualify as interference in that sense.

How about let’s not worry about Michigan losing to Wisconsin in the beginning of January? Don’t make a righteous post about me showing a lack of grounding when I compare our 23’ team getting bludgeoned in conference for a spell to Michigan losing a tight game at Wisconsin. Dumb ass.

In before someone else ignores your point but corrects you that Michigan lost at home.

Turns Nova Wiscy win into a valuable scalp, yes?

Dang I just saw highlights during halftime of ISU/OSU and they called off a game-tying put-back by Michigan with 35 seconds left. Glad they lost but that was a horrific call that influenced the outcome and I can only imagine Michigan fans are losing their minds over it.

It wasn’t even a controversial call.

It was 100% goal tending

If this is supposed to be insulting, it's not. In fact, it sounds like a good call.

Nobody thinks Michigan isn't a title contender. THere is a world of difference between "not a contender" and "god's gift to college basketball". Michigan is neither.

Welcome to the pile on. My bad lol I pulled the trigger on that comment after seeing one replay from an angle that made it appear very controversial based on my understanding of the rule. It’s either obvious from another angle or I don’t know the particulars of the rule.

Triggered lmfao. Another closet Michigan fan alert!

1. I’m not “worried” about Michigan. This is all in jest.

2. Why would me telling you or anyone to stop comparing ANYONE, including 26 UConn to those 2 teams anger you?

I wasn’t trying to pile on. It just looked like the right call as soon as I saw the replay and I wasn’t surprised it was upheld.

 

[Woof]

Everyone please stop talking about things I don't agree with or want to read!!!!

I gotchu. I just watched more replays of it and I agree it’s clearly goaltending. And as far as pile on, I think it just came from people replying as soon as they read my comment, so I got like 6 of the same replies about it. As a great man once said, “I :&$@ed up!”

 

[Woof]

Michigan dropped to first in the pomeroy ratings after that embarassing loss and we dropped to 9th after a dominant win over a tough DePaul team.

If it’s all in jest, then my apologies. I mean that.

However, anyone giving Michigan crap after our 2023 season lacks self awareness. (not necessarily you)

It seems like some folks, don’t realize that great teams hit really rough patches too.

I think they’re mostly giving RuffRuff crap and Michigan is just collateral damage.
