Week of 3/9 Games Thread

[March2TheArch]

Those easy lobs for Mara really give Michigan so much buffer. Then eventually one of the guards finds a 3 ball or a drive to the hoop.

They beat OSU with basically no Yaxel. This team is scary. If I could limit one player’s offense it would be Mara.

Problem is he can score 10 points between TV timeout from putbacks and oops. Really hope someone else knows off UM in the NCAAs. Don’t see it being us.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Morez knows the Illini fans are watching, so he just stares hard into the camera while Day is talking to the sideline reporter.

This is just weird.

Mount Mara is the difference in this game

Michigan tightened up the defense in the stretch and tOSU had no answers. Michigan gonna be a tough out.

 

[racinghoss]

Still doing it at the B1G desk.

 

[Altgeld's Bells]

Is this cringey to anyone else? Like Michigan players are all so desperate for attention?

Yeah, thinking the same. Morez and Lendebourg really leaning into it.

Yes they beat a team that played yesterday by a whole 4 points. Impressive

Never forget scUM is bunch of smartass kids!!! It's okay someone will get them

 

[roger murdock]

Nothing says ‘team’ like trying to see who acts more like a 12 year old.

I have to go kick some kids off my yard now.

Super immature. Like a JV team lol

Nah. Keep at it. I am. Yaxel is a man-child and Rez isn't far behind. Heavy cringe. Prove me wrong.

I said the exact same thing to my wife. LOL.

It's like they're screaming, "Look at me! Look at me!"

 

[From the cheap seats]

Yaxel is worthy of his B1G POY for what he provides at both ends of the court. And Morez is really good. But the person who makes it all work is Mara. He protects the rim and collects more garbage than Waste Management.

 

[KingWolf11]

Morez cant even legally drink yet hes just young and being a lame hes not doing anything wrong ya'll need to take a breathe lol.

 

[zentrails]

UM's gotta do what it's gotta do:
Morez went there to be a 3-pt sharpshooter, and if he drifts in and starts shooting 15-footers, well, he's gotta sit!

Pretty sure he went there to get a bigger bag and that's about it

Michigan finds ways to win close games

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Kentucky looks overmatched physically

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Been away the last couple days so haven't had a chance to post about the bids that have been clinched. So here we go:

-Southland: McNeese defeated Stephen F. Austin 76-59. It is the Cowboys' 5th tournament appearance and 3rd straight.
-Patriot League: Lehigh defeated Boston University 74-60. It is the Mountain Hawks' 6th tournament appearance, their first since 2012.
-Big Sky: Idaho defeated Montana 77-66. It is the Vandals' 5th tournament appearance, their first since 1990.

 

[Illinisnake]

Michigan wouldn't be the same team without Mara, best player on the team and it isn't even close.

 

[eas23]

Kentucky looks overmatched physically

They're just not very good. Its jarring.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Yes. But Florida is really good.

 

[bleedorange and blue]

I know the ship has long since sailed, and we pivoted quite nicely with Mirk, but can anyone tell me what exactly Michigan is letting Morez do this year that we wouldn’t have let him do? He’s still primarily around the basket. He’s shot a good % from 3 but has only taken 24 attempts all year. I have a hard time believing we wouldn’t have let him shoot less than 1 3/game, especially if he showed any aptitude for it in practice.

Anyways, he’s a fabulous player and I’m sorry we lost him but I don’t think we will have to worry about it after this year.

$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[jumpingjack]

If there's a player that I would be ok with Jeremy Fears kicking in the nuts, it is Boyd.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

AZ with a buzzer beater to win it.

 

[azillini1]

Yep, Bradley made the big shot and was POY in Big 12. He was the player that took over BAM’s starting position the last year at AZ
