There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical.



And how many of these young whippersnappers understand controlling the horizontal and vertical? Damn I'm old.

I just looked that up. He played 1 year at Marquette and 1 year at North Carolina and he’s only a sophomore? Must be that NC education.
The PA announcer said he was a sophomore. Maybe it’s due to a redshirt or Covid I don’t know but that’s what they said. Listen tommorow since they won. He is a good player

100% agree. Their year has just been so down besides as of late. I feel like they are going to make the tournament based on their name and the fact they are actually a good team that underachieved and not on body of work like others.

Then I could see them making another little run if they do make it. They have the talent.
If this is truly the reason then it completely diminishes the little cred that was left to the NCAA.

Wasn’t disagreeing with you. I heard the same thing and he has played 2 full years going into this year. Covid should not have been in play.

Seriously … I usually detest classism, but a multi-million dollar industry has to let a bunch of semi-retired accountants make awful call after awful call and never demand changes because, what? “Respect the officials”? This is well beyond them trying their best in a difficult situation; we have plenty of evidence of some of these guys being at best incompetent and at worst making it about themselves to the detriment of the spirit of Big Ten competition.
It’s becoming so blatantly obvious that I’m starting to wonder if the Big Ten isn’t directing the refs to “help” some teams to increase the number of teams in the tournament. 🤷‍♂️

Then they would have instructed the officials to help Wisconsin last night because their loss basically knocked them out of the tournament.

Man, you must really hate semi-retired accountants to compare them to the zebra-striped clowns!

Welp, it’s happening again this year. I have fallen victim to a chronic disease in which my work productivity takes a huge hit for about a month while basketball makes its final stand before the fall season begins. Man, I LOVE this time of year!

No way Big Ten let’s Michigan lose this game. Book it.

No.

In this Michigan vs Rutgers game, each team has had the ball roughly 40 times. That's 80 possessions. Think about all of the dribbling , screening, shooting, rebounding goes into each and every singular possession. Just because you don't like selective calls, it doesn't mean that there's an agenda. It's cherry picking the calls you don't like(especially against us) and ignoring the 150 plays in the game. I agree that some refs are better than others and the lack of consistency can be frustrating, but that's where it stops.

I would honestly rather have Michigan miss the NCAAT than Illinois get to the Sweet Sixteen. That's how much I dislike them.
Yikes, this is totally whack. Once Hunter Dickinson is gone, I'll probably go back to not caring much about Michigan. The deeper into the Howard era, the less of a threat they become in the Big Ten. Once the results aren't there, the recruits will dry up. Dude was carried on the back of the program Beilein built to propel him to great recruits, now 3 out of 4 seasons have been really unimpressive.

i was actually hoping for a UM win. we need them to do just well enough to not fire JH. On top of being 0-fer against ILL in his tenure, his "Chicago connection" hasn't really materialized and he hasn't done anything with top recruiting classes. It's good for us if JH is the HC at UM
