Michigan loses at home by 8 to Long Beach State. I spy November basketball.
Long Beach State 94, Michigan 86 That defensive effort isn't going to cut it. Bad, bad night at the office.
Michigan would have had a chance to tie or take the lead in the final minute but blew the box out on the front end of the 1-and-1 and gave up a putback layup. This one is going to sting for U-M after the 3-0 start. Wake up call to say the least. Final: LBSU 94, Michigan 86.
LBSU leads 85-82 with the ball. 1:02 to play Just not enough stops in this Michigan defense tonight and they desperately need one now.
Michigan has the pace of this game back under control a bit but still can't string together enough stops to take the lead back. Big possession for U-M coming up with the ball out of the U8. https://t.co/G7RzSAaIZW
LBSU was 5-of-8 on dunks and layups in the second half. 6-of-7 in the second half already. U-M giving up wide-open looks at the rim due to defensive breakdowns.
Michigan is getting everything it can handle right now. LBSU pulling U-M away from the basket and scoring on a bunch of easy cuts to the rim. Feels like U-M having a hard time keeping up with the pace. Martelli calls timeout and it is gut check time for U-M. https://t.co/nUR74dLtmE
Michigan led by 16 early but Long Beach State's 1-3-1 zone caused the Wolverines to miss a beat and The Beach have hit a bunch of tough shots to fight back. https://t.co/Chx0PxSGfL
Bit of a rocky stretch there for Michigan. Phil Martelli calls timeout after a LBSU transition three cuts the lead to 5. 2 fouls on Nimari Burnett and Will Tschetter. https://t.co/W0oEBXfasi
