I can feel the Michigan/Ohio State love right now...

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Really impressed with the Bucks tonight. B1G is insanely good this year.

 

[sporthenry]

I can't believe y'all are complaining about that last play. Refs didn't call #### all game. This was a football game. But at the end they are going to start making calls? Please.And Craft's foul was flagrant.

So you call out the people complaining about calls, then complain about a call?

 

[wadegarrett]

yeah ok

you mad bro?

spin it how you want Sally

Got nothing to spin. Scoreboard.

I wouldn't feel too good about that win tonight Sheila. Ohio State isn't that good and your team barely escaped. Good luck with that.

Yes. I think OSU is a top 6 team.

Your attempts are really weak. Should have quit about 2 posts ago.Sorry your team lost tonight guy.

 

[cj*]

Big ten tourney will be awesome. I am guessing you want to get seeded to avoid the Wisconsin side. The top 4 are ridiculously strong.

You guys are fishing real hard. Ain't biting.Go Blue!

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm familiar with the Michigan-tOSU blood fued on the gridiron. I didn't realize it extended to hoops as well.

Is the field hockey rivalry a bit more tame?

I didn't complain. I was just pointing out a fact. There were terrible calls all night (see, Craft getting 3 points after the shot clock expired). Seems silly to complain about one questionable one just because it was at the end of the game.Great game. M had to have it. Glad they won.

Agreed, but that was the best Ohio State performance i have seen this year. Glad we scratched out a w despite that.

Jared Sullinger ‏@Jared_Sully0Proud of the refs by not determining the game..... Tough one but we will be back.....

[Keerock]

Not impressed with Michigan's cheerleaders.

11 out of 12 B1G girls are hot. The 12th goes to UofM. It's NOT just a stereotype. It's troof.

 

[Keerock]

Who is the best future NBA player on the floor tonight?

Burke, not even close.

 

[Keerock]

How in the #### is Craft taking your last 2 shots and getting them both blocked?!?!? DT didn't even get a look.

I thought the same thing...

 

[Keerock]

I haven't watched a lot of M games this year... is burying 14 3's the norm? That was unreal.BTW... At least on TV... the crowd at Chrysler is still pretty lame by B1G standards.

You're pretty lame by Big Ten standards.Its Crisler.And M is the most efficient offensive team in college. They have many different ways to score and shoot at a very high percentage. But no, 14 3s is not the norm. That was a season high.

Michigan is a very good 3-point shooting team, but that was clearly an above average night. Especially Hardaway going 6 for 7 from behind the arc. At Ohio, the threes did not fall. Both teams shot very well from the field last night.

To be fair...it's not just the OSU fans trolling the Michigan fans in this thread. But to answer your question, it extends to everything. Lots of hate up there.

They had to have their best game esp. playing at Crisler, unfortunately for them they came up a bit short. They don't have a deep bench by any means, but their starting 5 are as solid as any in the top 10 in the Country. I was really impressed with how they hung with UM. Don't think Matta coached them up enough last night, and for sure in the latter stages of the game, the wrong guy was shooting the ball.Going to be a tough one IMO for MSU tonight, esp. without Trice and or Harris.

We live and die with our guard play. Worried come tourney time. I think mcgarry may be the x factor.

Why are you worried? UM has arguably the best guard combo in the country. Alao, it is odd that people are praising Craft for his incredible defensive game against Burke when Trey scored 18 points, shot 50%, 8 assists and 2 turnovers....basically his average game.

Stats lie, craft defended Burke well. I am worried because if our guards don't ball we don't have a fall back option. Usually one tough game on way to title, need others to step up in that game.

Those were two separate points.And I was just joking on the lame thing. I only e-know you so no idea if you really are lame.

I don't know if stats lie - Burke did very well against Craft. And Craft is an incredible defender. He's really outstanding. I disagree about the backup option. There are 4 legit scoring threats on the team, plus McGary is starting to come around. Its unlikely all of them will go ice cold in the same game. They will be ok. REALLY glad they got that win last night, though. They need to win 1 of the next 2.

Not sure you need to be worried. Horford's proven himself capable. So has McGary. When Morgan comes back, they'll be pretty deep in the paint.

So you're worried that Burke, Hardaway, GRIII, and Stauskas all lay an egg all at the same time. I'm not sure ANY team could survive four of their stars laying an egg.

 

[tri-man 47]

McGary really coming on strong. Good scoring, rebounds ..and 4 steals last night. I worry about the approach of passing around the wings and then letting Burke bail them out in the last 10 seconds of the clock. When Burke penetrates, lots of good things can happen - interior pass or lob, or a dish out to the gunners on the wings.Hardaway - wow. What was it, four consecutive 3's in just a couple of minutes? Lots of weapons.

 

[Synthesizer]

Craft guarded Burke as well as you possible can one-on-one. Burke needed a ton of picks to get free from Craft and get those 18 points. It was also interesting to see Burke get fired up and really lock down on Craft on the other end of the court too.

I am worried about relying on robinson and staukas. It's why I think mcgary is the x. Volume nights from both Hardaway and Burke, need someone to step up. I don't trust robinson and staukas when that happens. Horford too. Getting Morgan back and going could help though, yes.

You do realize that fans of pretty much every other NCAA team would love to have your worries for this one.

 

[jon_mx]

I get nervous when McGary tries to post up. He is not effective. But everything else he has been great. He should either start or be option #1 off the bench, even when Morgan gets 100%.

A lot to work on in his post game for sure.

Staukas and Robinson would be #1 or #2 options on 95% of Division 1 teams.

I can't believe y'all are complaining about that last play. Refs didn't call #### all game. This was a football game. But at the end they are going to start making calls? Please.And Craft's foul was flagrant.

So you call out the people complaining about calls, then complain about a call?

I didn't complain. I was just pointing out a fact. There were terrible calls all night (see, Craft getting 3 points after the shot clock expired). Seems silly to complain about one questionable one just because it was at the end of the game.Great game. M had to have it. Glad they won.

Yep, I thought it was a fun, well contested, game all around.If we want to nitpick calls we can go in circles all day. I personally think Craft was fouled on the last two possessions and I think replay supports that. That said, I'm not complaining that they were not called, it's just how the game went. There were calls/non calls all game. If this was in the NCAA tournament, I'd be pretty upset though. And I'm not sure how anyone can think Craft's foul was flagrant...he clearly hit the forearm of the offensive player going for the ball before hitting him in the head. Sure, it was a hard foul, but how many times do we see refs not call patsy attempts in a situation just like that? It's not like the ball was down by his waist, it was up higher.

Sounds like a call nitpicker to me. Like you said, we could go in circles. There were good calls, good non-calls, and calls that shouldn't have been made. The referees were not perfect throughout which is why they should be commended by not deciding the game at the end with their whistles. This isn't Pac-10 hoops here. It's big boy basketball. If they would have called a foul on that last play Michigan fans would have been howling about it, and they would have a decent argument based on how the rest of the game was called.I disagree with you on your other opinions as well. Burke's block on Craft came from behind him but was clean as hell. And I saw that potentially flagrant foul by Craft a whole lot differently than you did.

By definition, it's flagrant. We should be talking about how dumb the flagrant foul rule definition is.

 

[jon_mx]

There was a reason why the refs took several minutes to discuss the flagrant foul call. It obviously was not cut and dry. I am glad they did not call it, but there is very little tolerance on hitting someone in the face.
