Livers seem not to get off to a fast start, and tonight he got a tough defensive cover. Close one in Illinois

Michigan getting killed on the boards to many 2nd chances . Michigan needs to get soe defensive rebounds. Illini, has 8 pts from offensive rebounds.

If the 3's don't fall Michigan can't win 2-13 is not good, Livers and Wagner not making shots.

NOBODY rebounds more of their own misses than Illinois. Fact, not opinion. That Kofi Anna---er, "Cockburn"---is a friggin' monster under the bucket. Hopefully he's a one-and-done...

EVERY Big Ten team has suffered in ROAD conference play (0-10)...according to MLive anyhow.
Must be the crowd, the background, the lighting, whatever that causes outside shooting percentages to so precipitously drop on the road---as ours sure as shit did last night.

looks like it is going to be tough to get a win on the road this year. Somehow the shooting is tougher the teams are tougher and the rebounding is tougher on the road. Michigan got owned in the paint last night, playing a game thats really not their style.

Could be because they called 7 fouls on us in the second half before calling even 1 on Illinois?

Could be because the refs called us for 1 foul in the first 20 minutes and then 1 foul every minute in the second half.

Not blaming the refs. but when you do something in the first half and it's not called, then do it in the second half and it gets called it makes it hard to play.

We shot like shit and rebounded like shit.

Oh, BTW, Joe was in the house! My boss asked me to go to central Illinois to work. So I figured I'd catch an Illini game while I was there. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was Michigan!!!
