Game thread: Men’s hoops at Vandy, noon EDT on ESPN
Purdue’s loss to Fairleigh Dickinson has consumed a lot of the oxygen from the college hoops “room”.
Michigan returns to the floor in Nashville against the Commodores of Vanderbilt. It’s the second round of the NIT - win or go home / clean out your locker.
A victory today means the third round game will be at Crisler before the semifinals / finals in Vega$.
Go Blue!

How is that a plus?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
Get a chance to see what Khayat can do.I dont mean a plus for this game.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
I guess that works for Khayat, but we know what Jace offers at this point.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
Seeing lots of Jace is a plus??
March 18th, 2023 at 12:03 PM ^
So who comes off the bench? Jace, Reed and?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
Tschetter?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:03 PM ^
That is a seriously ugly basketball venue.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:03 PM ^
It looks as if the camera's in the back row of the top level.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
So what's the over/under on how long before the commentators mention the absences.
Okay, 17:50.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
Yoyo getting the start is interesting at least.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
Alright lets go!!!
March 18th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
What, no Cheddar? We want some sharp Cheddar!
March 18th, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
I love Cheddar the cheese. Not at all the same for the hoops player. If he is playing meaningful minutes again next season for Michigan this staff has massively failed.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
YO-YO! Love that he’s playing and knocking down 3’s. Makes total sense to see what he can hide you next year with all the other mediocre to bad 4’s we have.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:15 PM ^
Okay. 5-17. I'm done. Let me know when we win.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:16 PM ^
See you in November.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:21 PM ^
Lol. We will win don't worry
March 18th, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
Can't fault the defensive effort.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
“A competitive start” = “both teams are shooting like ass”
March 18th, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
Same ole same ole.... turnover turnover turnover turnover
March 18th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
No Kobe, how much more could go wrong for Juwan’s squad?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
I wonder if Matt Painter could help answer this question.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Hunter shooting threes is a nice change up here and there. It should not be the actual game plan.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Depth is going to be a problem in this game
March 18th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
Did others suddenly lose the tv feed?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
Edit: NVMD
March 18th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
Get your shit together ESPN
March 18th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
Anyone else get cut to a commercial out of the blue? Perhaps a gift from the tv gods to save our eyes?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Yes - ESPN is the worst
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
They apologized for the garbage - at this rate we might be better off if they stayed in commercial for the next two hours.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
ESPN is garbage
March 18th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
Nothing says noon NIT game like a test pattern right in the middle of it.
FML.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Arghhh!
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Lmao ESPN w/ the back up to the back up crew for this NIT broadcast
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
This one might be tough. The squad might wear down in the 2nd half with all the minutes. Rooting for them to tough this one out!
ESPN crashing may be a harbinger of things to come.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
They already look worn down.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Why hasn't Khayat played until now? Redshirt implications?
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Insufficient readiness is the implication.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
He isn't very good.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
How do we know if he doesn't play. Similar things were said of Austin Davis and even Franz. Sometimes they need to play and their confidence and play goes up exponentially.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:16 PM ^
He is playing now, and we are starting to know what the coaches already knew. Not ready. Hopefully he will be next season.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
So lots of TWill today. I'd be OK with a neutral impact from him.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Baker just air-balled a layup. That’s remarkable.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Joey has to hit the guy in the corner
March 18th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Looks like we have a very unlucky blowout loss coming.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
This arena has worse lighting than Atlantis!
March 18th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
Welp.
Not sure how much of a chance we really had with two of our top guys out. Thankfully, the NCAA games are starting up now and nobody will pay attention to this blowout.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
Make it stop.
March 18th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
Baker has made two of the worst plays in college basketball in just two offensive possessions.
