11/26 Michigan vs. Syracuse MBB

Any other day of the year I'm a Michigan fan as an alum... but today is not one of those days.

Michigan, you are so, so screwed.

Let's go Orange!

Actually, I'm very concerned about this game.  We have a very young, very talented team that hasn't played well to start the season.  Top-ranked center recruit Fab Melo has been invisible other than averaging an amazing five fouls per game.  Our shooting has been atrocious and the shot-selection isn't helping.

might have a better team than Cuse at the moment.

Cuse has better talent, and if their big guys get going early thatll be tough to rebound from, the saying "you cant teach height" comes to mind, and CUse has 3 7 footers

On the fifth night—possibly the sixth—a breeze arose.
It was cool and dewy.

Now I am not saying Mich will win this game. However, I feel we have played pretty good at the beginning of the season. We have not played any real opponents, however the teams we have played, we beat like we were supposed to. There a pretty young team from what I read on the preview. Were a way younger team but we have talent. And if we can use that talent and shoot a little better today. I think we will keep it close. Now you saying you're michigan fan for only parts of the year is ridiculous. I'm a teenager, and throughout my short life I have never cheered for any team but the maize and blue. I don't know how you can either.

Go Blue!

You're right.  I remember having the channel when I lived in Ann Arbor (Watched MMA on it), and I punched in 48104 and Comcast and channels came up.  I live in Chicago, so I didn't look at it closely to see that it said it was not available in Ann Arbor on Comcast and it was giving the channels for the other providers, that I didn't select.

The guy above who says it's on 382 is right. I see it listed in my guide. But when I searched it came up as no go. I wonder if it doesn't recognize all zips as Ann Arbor or something. But according to my actual Comcast guide listings on the screen, it's there, even if the finder says it isn't.

    No chance. Born and raised in Cuse, and Boeheim will run the 2-3 unless a team is shooting absolutely lights out the entire game.

    Even when the team is more athletic, they play zone.

    The last time I remember watching us play Syracuse in basketball was the day after Christmas, 1997 for the Puerto Rico Holiday Classic.  Michigan won 93-61. 

    I'd obviously have no argument over that happening again.  Though, I can't remember the last time we scored that many points in a game.

    I actually have a good feeling about this game. Michigan has played (and more importantly, shot the ball) really well to start the season. Granted, the competition hasn't been that great but Syracuse hasn't really played anyboyd either. Detroit Mercy hung with them for the entire game & they only beat William & Mary by 3. Not saying Michigan will definitely win (their inexperience scares me) but I think we'll at least keep it close.

    Outside shots didn't fall in the 2nd half, but would you expect it any other way (*le sigh*)?

    It's hard to win when you're shooting only around 33% from the floor, and yet the Orange only won by 3.  I had this one as a probable loss before the season, so not a huge shocker, and it only reaffirms my thinking that we upset a couple teams this year (please, please, please be MSU).
