- Thread starter Ronman
- Start date
Both teams good play good d and both shooting cold. Like polar vortex cold.
Brutal

Purdue game used all the points
It’s in danger that’s what it is.
Good D is one thing, combine it with poor offense and you have a team scoring historical low in 1st half. Simpson has been just awful. Michigan looked practically unbeatable until a February but since the Iowa defeat they’ve been very beatable.
Michigan has to drive and stop turning the ball over. It's funny how polar opposite the Texas Tech football and basketball squads are.
Tech playing tough D but several really dumb and unforced TOs and terrible shooting will do that to you, Michigan. Have they made a shot beyond about 7 feet so far? They have had some open looks and are shooting 7 for 25!
I hadnt thought of it in this context, but it is pretty amazing.
Getting blown out by a team that has 34 points 3 min into the second half.
this year's Michigan not a great 3 pt shooting team. This game vs Texas Tech looks like the way Iowa shot vs Michigan in BTT.
At this rate, they'll have to put more points on the board in the final 10 minutes than they did in the first 30, while holding Tech to single digits.
This isn't all Tech D. Michigan has missed a slew of wide open threes. Now 0-13. Hit a modest average of those and they're right in this game
Big 12 champs dismantling one of the Big 10's best teams. lolz.
This is one of those games where the first half is terrible and you say “at least they can’t play any worse.”
And then they do.
And then they do.
The only run Michigan has in them is curable with some Pepto.
Tech is great. Beard is a magician. Curious to see if Tech can keep him in Lubbock.
It's amazing how good teams can look like garbage and garbage teams can look awesome on a given night.
I'm not saying tech is a garbage team

That’s why they call it madness baby!!
Unfortunately madness isn’t always entertaining.
Kind of interesting that on the same night Tennessee lost in similar fashion to the way they beat us and Michigan is losing similar to our last game to them with a horrible shooting night for 3.
Purdue scored more points in overtime against Tennessee than Michigan did in the first half against Texas Tech.
When there is such a lopsided game at this point of the tournament, you have to figure it was a fluky game and isn't a indication of anything significant within the larger picture. I think you're reading more into this than it's worth. It's just one game.
But you know that, right?
This is entirely true, but can you imagine the narrative in regards to the Big 12 here if the score had been reversed? In one game situations, anything can happen. Tech is three games removed from losing to West Virginia.
People are also underestimating Tech's defense. It's not a coincidence that Michigan had an "off" night.
