1.93 Points Per Possession.
That's crazy.

It's Houston Baptist. Not much to take away other than Stauskas' ankle looks okay and GRIII can score on un-talented teams. Go Blue, though. Nice to see 100 put up.

Admittedly, I only caught the last several minutes of the half, but I saw the box score - if you calculate it, our effective FG% is 82.35% right now. It would be nice to keep that up certainly. We also have twice the total rebounds with a defensive rebound rate of about 85% right now as well. Not a bad start at all.

We are playing well in this scrimmage.

Okay Mitch. It's Houston Baptist. You can play point guard.

Apparently the strategy of the Duke game was to save our strength for Houston Baptist.

Only 60 points at halftime?!? That's it!! Fire Beilein! :-\

Eddie Basketball is retiring? Hanging up that glorious rug for good?

This is basically a national holiday.

McGary man . . . he has skills. We need to get him a post touch in every possession.

These games are stupid. There oughta be a law!

I feel like consistency is going to be the buzzword of this season. We will rarely if ever be as terrible as the first halves vs. Duke/Charlotte, and rarely if ever be as good as we've been this game. If we can settle somewhere in the middle, we should be in good shape to win or compete in almost every game, especially at home. Good to have the early road tests, this team will be ready to go in Big Ten play.

This was the sort of game we needed. Also HBU's score is a little deceptive. They have hit some pretty tough shots. Obviously they count but more times than not those shots won't go in (then of course you have to rebound).
Arizona is going to have their hands full. I expect the team to have a good week of practice and will come out ready to take on the number one team in the country.

I'm happy they got the W, but to me, games like this are more important for just to get guys like Walton and Irvin more acclimated to the game. Hopefully they will both start rounding to form come February-March.
Knowing Beilein and his uncanny ability to develop and maximize talent, they will.

i was surprised that stauskas played as long as he did. i hope that ankle feels better. stupid ankles.
December 7th, 2013 at 2:24 PM ^
Well, he played 34 minutes against Duke and 28 minutes against Houston Freakin Baptist. I think we can officially stop worrying about the ankle.

Got a a few good stories from his babysitter
They've were awesome.
December 7th, 2013 at 7:16 PM ^
That's pretty cool and good for him. Nice to see him have a big game in front of friends and family.

He was at the time 7. Stones!
