Elon @ Michigan Basketball Open Thead

Our 3 point shooting might be the best in school history this year... All these mofos can hit the 3... 

Perfect redshirt opportunity now for Wagner

Why does anyone try to full-court press us?  I would have thought after the beating of Havoc (VCU), no one would try that nonsense again.  Beilein and co. are too good for that.

Walton just joined some very rare company.  Actually looked this up to see how close Robinson was to breaking the record.

THREE-POINT FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE - SINGLE GAME
(minimum six attempts)
1.000% (7-7) Glen Rice vs. Wisconsin _________________________Feb. 25, 1989
88.89% (8-9) Garde Thompson vs. Illinois-Chicago _____________ Dec. 6, 1986
87.50% (7-8) Louis Bullock* vs. Eastern Michigan ______________ Dec. 17, 1997
85.71% (6-7) Derrick Walton Jr. vs. Elon ______________________ Nov. 16, 2015
83.33% (5-6) LaVell Blanchard vs. IUPUI ______________________ Jan. 4, 2003
83.33% (5-6) Robbie Reid vs. Wisconsin ______________________ Dec. 30, 1998

 

(Insert random hyperbolic extrapolation here about how we will be this year based on this game)

pretty weak tonite. but i will give him a pass for first game in a while.

42-0 when scoring 80+ under Beilein. Awesome!

I'm amazed that the announcer still is pronouncing Donnal's name wrong this late in the game, when he's heard the PA guy say it a few times.

Chatman is weak.

Walton with another three!!!!

Wagner is badass. That gash didn't keep him out long.

Walton is on fire tonight

Seems like Mo Wagner might replace Mitch's sideline energy albeit in his own way (seems like less shenanigans, which I miss). Should fit in well with Dakich and Co. when he's not on the court

Walton is money right now

Walton with a quiet 20+ point game. Super efficient at it too.

He and Doyle have ZERO bounce and have no abilty to alter shots. DJ wilson and Wagner have made more plays in very limited minutes than Donnal has in his career. Need to play DJ and Wagner all the minutes other than Doyles and by the end of the season the frontline will be nice, with athleticism to actually make defensive plays. Donnal has no ability to get better, he is what he is.

I hope we can get some fun chants going for Wagner over he next few years. I already love his attitude. Maybe like the chants you hear for Schweinsteiger at Bayern Munich/Man United games. "Deutscher basketball meister!" (is that even right?)

i second the guy who said wagner will be our best big man by the end of this season

I bet they could make the Big Dance in March.

Aubrey Dawkin is a G

RAWK!!!!

Just missed a highlite putback and comes back and slams it home!

This is a pretty deep squad.

Rahk looking like a globetrotter out there
