Two bigs on the floor at once, creating mismatches down low.... love it.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
I wonder if DDJ lost a little confidence passed up a wide open 3.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
That's some beautiful zone-busting passing there.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
If Brooks can be a consistent 3pt shooter, this team's upside could be higher than we think.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
Brooks ? ?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
Teske! I suppose we can no longer solely credit Beilein for this, and be like, "that's Beilein player development at work once again!"
November 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
It's Juwan's player development at work again ;).
November 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Good chemistry between these guys, awesome so early
November 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Brooks x 5 from 3 ?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Swaggy Brooks?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Seriously is that the same dude?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
AHH OOOHHH EEEEEE!!!!
Jesus, too many PA guys have watched Mason's schtick at the Pistons games.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Brooks should replace Poole's contribution. Now if Wagner can do the same for Brazdeikis's and with Teske's big man improvement, there should be little let down from last year's squad.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:23 PM ^
More like let up
November 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
My name is HarboSchembaugh and I love Eli Brooks
November 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
App state and all, but man, we good
November 5th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Juwan got a lot of these guys brimming with confidence. Love it!
November 5th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
This is fun to watch.
Dominating defense. Shredding them with the pass. And I LOVE the two high posts.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Brooks could pick up Poole #s at this rate
November 5th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Thus far, this has been pretty fun to watch.
Also, offensive rebounds and points in the paint? Witchcraft.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
Really. What is this voodoo?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Teske NOOOOOOOOOOOO
November 5th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
Clearly sandbagging because we're up 30. Can't let the B1G know that this is a fully armed and operational battle station!
November 5th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
The offense is more wide-open, on the one hand. OTOH, there have been a handful of possessions that could have benefited from one more pass (e.g., Teske's three that drew nothing but the side of the backboard when the wing had an open look for three).
You know who would have excelled in this offense? Jordan Poole.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
That guy in the corner was simpson and honestly a Teske 3 is probably the better option there. This team is going to be fun to watch, johns has a ton of confidence this year
November 5th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
Who would have thought Teske and brooks would become this good? Beilein, that’s who!
November 5th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Pulling for the Kenpom dub here now. This is an encouraging game so far - Brooks dropping some trips in the bucket, offense and D looking solid. This App St team is not a godawful team either - top 200 accoring to Ace are they?
November 5th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
Looks like Simpson does not fit well in this offense and could be our weakness !
November 5th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
He sure doesn’t look comfortable
November 5th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
A little bit sloppy, but seems like this will be a pretty solid team once everyone is healthy and has a little time to come together.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
This is encouraging, I don’t think App State is a good indicator of how good they are though.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
This is getting very sloppy. Simpson having the worst game of his career.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
Shooot thee balll
Z. Making bad decisions
November 5th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
Jesus fuck Z...turnover after turnover
November 5th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
I'm not worried about it, but Simpson has been rough tonight. Also we're very opposite of Beilein, a lot of fouls and turnovers.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
Simpson is not playing smart. He’s just trying to be too damn fancy. The whole team is completely lost focus.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
M needs to regroup. Getting a little sloppy.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Some things won't ever change me thinks.
Michigan basketball...up 25-30. Keep it going and win by 40-45?! Nah, let's take the foot off the gas and let them cut it to 12-15 and get us freaking out on the message boards.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Team needs a go to guy for situations exactly like this lol.
Franz needs to get healthy quick.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
I don’t think they’re in any danger of blowing this, but a 30 point win looks a lot better than 15. Just got sloppy here once it seemed like it was out of reach.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
Lol there’s like no in between in this game. Either we look awesome, drilling 3s or we look absolutely god awful. X is having an awful game.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
X and DDJ need to burn the tape. Dreadful outings by both
November 5th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Wow, the team really has went cold and the D is soft. Glad they were up by 30 and time is running out.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Dude. Xavier.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
This game is going to need a few snowflakes threads
November 5th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Pathetic 2nd half performance.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Ummmm
November 5th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
They are playing like complete and total shit since they went up 30, I mean damn, the game is still going on, play like it.
November 5th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
