Teske! I suppose we can no longer solely credit Beilein for this, and be like, "that's Beilein player development at work once again!"

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.

This is fun to watch.

Dominating defense. Shredding them with the pass. And I LOVE the two high posts.

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.

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?

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.

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.
