UM hoops vs Binghamton Tuesday 7PM Crisler Center BTN

having already equalled their 2011-2012 win total at 2-8…and…well…they aren’t good at basketball.

6-4 freshman shooting guard Jordan Reed paces the bearcats with 18 points per game. He also paces them with 10 rebounds, shooting 46% from the field. Truth be told, stop him and you’ve beaten Binghamton.

6ft senior point guard Jimmy Gray leads the team in assists with 4/game, and is second in scoring at 10 points per game, shooting 33% from the field and 27% from deep(8 attempts/game).

6-1 junior guard Rayner Moquete chips in with 7 points shooting 36% from the field and 34% from deep(4 attempts/game).

6-1 junior guard KJ Brown contributes 5 points on 30% shooting, 21% from deep(2 attempts/game).

6-7 senior forward Taylor Johnston leads the frontcourt scoring an efficient 7 points/game and pulls down 4 boards shooting 54% from the field and a scorching 54% from deep(3 attempts/game). 

6-8 junior forward Ronald Brown is also a major contributor in the post, adding 8 points and 5 boards, shooting 50% from the field.

6-8 junior forward Alex Ogundadegbe( Oh gun Dad! Egg be! )

(M R Piders M R. C D E D B D I’s.) will drop 4 points and 3 rebounds on you in a heartbeat…or in a game, shooting 45%, but whatevs.

That’s basically the rotation.

Let’s take a look at their last 5 games. Binghamton lost to Bryant 78-56. They were outrebounded by 9 and outshot by 12%. Monmouth beat them 77-65 by hitting on 10% more of their attempts. Mt. St. Mary’s squeaked out a 71-70 win when Binghamton lost the turnover battle by 12(yeah, Binghamton turns over the ball a lot…not good at basketball remains the general theme). Binghamton lost to Pennsylvania 65-54 despite grabbing 10 more boards than the quakers. Penn went 10-25 from deep(40%).

Binghamton beat Marywood of the Colonial States Athletic Conference 76-51, outrebounding them by 20 and outshooting the pacers by 14%.  

So what does this mean for Michigan?  Well...Binghamton is going to turn over the ball...a lot.  Michigan is going to outrebound Binghamton...but not by a ton.  Michigan is going to outshoot Binghamton by about 15%.

I've got Michigan 95-55.  This should not be a challenge.
