Big Dog Robinson: The second generation.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:08 PM ^
Little Big Dog?
November 9th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
I like it.
Did the original Glenn Robinson play BBall too?
November 9th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
If he did, he wasn't known for it.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
They have looked horrible, but they are up by 10...talent and depth...If they boxed out and played better post defense....whooh
November 9th, 2012 at 9:08 PM ^
Settle down. Its the first game against a very athletic D2 school.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:09 PM ^
Rebounding seems pretty weak when they have GRIII at the 4 spot. Going to be an issue again this year if JB refuses to play 2 posts.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
Just joking

WHO WANTS SOME PIZZA?
November 9th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
I am so pumped for some pizza house feta bread.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
I forgot the BBall open threads always contain:
Non-stop ref questioning.
Angar.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
It wouldn't be a basketball game without non-stop ref questioning.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
Basketball is more parity where a d2 team can compete somewhat against a d1 team. I believe we will be a top 5 team if McGary can stay out of foul trouble.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
I'll grant that they might be better than I am giving them credit for. Still, people around the country will get a chuckle out of UM struggling with a D2 school.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
Who cares? It's the 1st game of the season with 4 freshman being inserted into the rotation. If this game was in February and we're struggling against a D2 school then freak out but not now. C'mon man!
November 9th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
Doubtful.
People will see Michigan up by 16 at halftime and not think anything of it.
November 10th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
November 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
The refs sure are calling a lot of fouls.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
Stauskus is going to be a free throw hitting machine...I like our lineup coming down the stretch and iceing games...Hardaway, Albrecht, Burke, Stauskas
November 9th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
Trying to get all fancy pants.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
It's not a joke. GVSU beat MSU the year they went to the final four.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
Horford looks pretty solid so far.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Ya, especially since according to the announcer he set a pick for himself and scored. Impressive stuff.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
He is also now Tim Duncan.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
perfect slate for a young team.
there are going to be kinks to be worked out before the acc/b1g game.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
November 9th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
If you can't fall asleep pretend you're the Michigan QB and run all the plays in your head. It works every time.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
I'd advise pretending to be the Michigan RB instead - you don't even have to worry about imagining that you're gaining yards.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
Not a great finish there. But I'll take the lead.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
and we're not really struggling being up 14 points. If we keep up what we did in the first half, we'll win by 30.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
Apparently that is not good enough.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
I know this is really messed up, but I would laugh so hard if one of them fell right now.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
Unicycle Half-Time Show!!!!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
You know what would have been a better halftime show? Lewan riding out their on a twosie. The crowd would have erupted. He wouldn't have had to do tricks or anything, just take a lap around the court.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
Thoughts so far...
They have talent, athleticism, and depth. Hardaway has played within himself, and based off the first half, you would think he is the All American and not Burke. Horford looks like a very good piece off of the bench.
On the downside, this team is treating 'The Rock' as a Division II team. Poor boxing out, bad effort, and playing a little recklessly on the offensive end. Morgan has not impressed me in this half. He really needs his offense worked through playmakers, whereas Horford and Robinson seem to be able to create on their own. McGary needs to calm down a little to stay out of foul trouble, but I like his effort on the defensive end.
Overall, we have played poorly (~C- grade) and are winning handily. We have played an extended bench (10 on my count), and while doing it, doesn't seem like we take a significant step back. Morgan needs to bring more to the court or he will be passed by tthe more athletic big men on this roster. Good experience game
November 9th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Agreed, especially on the defensive end - just letting dudes blow past them for some offensive rebounds and extra shots.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
OK. Stream skips like crazy while the game is on, barely skips at all during halftime show. Anyone else have that going on?
November 9th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Someone said try changing the 2500 in the url to lower the quality. I had skipping issues when I was using my work comp, but works fine for me at home.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Thank you. I'll try it.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
November 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
MANSLAM!
November 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
Wow, he was angry
November 9th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
MAN SLAM!!!
EDIT: Damn, you beat me to it. Too quick for me.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
MAN MODE
November 9th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
Hardaway with a "man slam". Love it.
These announcers are awesome.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
November 9th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
Love seeing Hardaway fired up like this. He seemed to lack that a lot last year.
November 9th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
This team has so many weapons.
