Ties largest victory margin verses the Spartans at 29.

My nephew is freaking out over the Ward tripping technical. Called it a call for "typical UM pansies."

Lol, ok take that one away and I'll take the win by 27 then.

Really would have been nice to beat OSU at home now.....

Lol it was so obviously an intentional trip

He tried to hide it, but he clearly picked his foot up a bit more than his other steps.

 

[gobluebigjon]

Yep picked it up and held it there. Easy call

We need Walton, Wagner, and Rahk to continue being the main options on offense. Irvin needs to bust his ass on the defensive end and try to become a defensive specialist. Stick him in the corner, like his freshman year, on offense. The less he is handling the ball, the better.

Honestly, X needs to be taking Irvin's minutes. Irvin's broken, and he's just not going to contribute much to this team.

X FINALLY looked like he belonged at the D1 level last night. Let him play.

Except if we do that, our defensive match ups become a nightmare. We need Irvin for defense. Just need to limit his role on offense.

It definitely was intentional. No doubt about it. Yet Izzo tried to say "IF that is what it was, then it was inexcusable." Then Ward tried to claim that he didn't do it on purpose. What a liar!

Yep. Irvin played great defense last night.

 

[biggunsbob]

Like has been mentioned put freaking Zak in thr corner on offense and tell him that is his only shot he can take unless it's a uncontested layup. Also bring him off the bench may light a fire under him.

We're 6-2 when he takes under 10 shots.

How about less time for Donnel and more for Teske? At least there is some potential for growth there, right?

Yes. Did you see towards the end when Teske got a board over Ward and Bridges? Donnal could never accomplish that.

Skip to 1:10 left in the game to see it:

My response to that?

Irvin may defend pretty well, but X also does very well defensively for his size. Also, there's a very key component. X can dribble, Irvin cannot. I don't remember a guy being so uneasy with his passes and dribbling in recent memory compared to Zak. Every time he handles the ball, I take a shot.

Your nephew needs his head examined. If I were izzo I would have benched him for the game, there's no place for that, this is not Duke

 

[dubbsco]

It was a trip. You don't take a long wide step like that unless you are a clown wearing those massive shoes.

With that being said, both guys were playing hard and somewhat dirty. I'm not going crazy over it. He got the T, rightfully so, and that's that.
