MBB Beat-down POS Bang
Just incredible. Back-to-back thumpings of top 10 teams. Nobody has a better resume right now. Has anyone gone from unranked to #1? One team should.
Bang away!!!

Two top 10 wins in two days. What a start to the weekend. And it's only just beginning
November 29th, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
Great run from this team. The power of a senior Z and Teske are going to make Howard look very good in year one. Kudos to coaching staff and the players. Looks like we can run with just about anybody right now! Go Blue!
November 29th, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
No he can't be because he was never a HC. Never you mind that NBA teams interviewed him to be a HC. Oh, and he cant recruit. Never mind he started recruiting players to Michigan when he himself was still in high school.
Sincerely,
Maizeman in Bolivia
Coach Howard and the cagers did their part in making this one of the best U of M sports weeks in a long, long time. Tomorrow Coach Harbaugh and his dudes are gonna do their part!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
Is... Is Juwan just this good...?
November 29th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
Definitely. Big sample size. The man is a leader and humble. People respond to that sincerity. It doesn't hurt that he knows ball.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:17 PM ^
Plus dude can dance
November 29th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
All his players eager to give him a high five after the dance too... they want to celebrate this with him. He has this team in such a good place in terms of effort, unity, players knowing their specific roles, and set plays Xs and Os. Such an impressive start.
November 29th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
We are certainly aided by an experienced roster. Look at Franz for example and how he is still getting acclimated. Many teams have that kind of youth who are still learning vs our upperclassmen who are battle tested.
We are damn good, but I suspect teams will close the gap on us through the season as they gain experience. We are closer to our ceiling.
November 29th, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
Bang Me!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
What a feeling. Bang!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
We are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.....of the Bahamas! Go Blue!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
BANG!!! Never a doubt about JUWAN from day 1, LETS GO!!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
Basketball win today , football win tomorrow!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
Go Blue!! This team is dangerous!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
all hail the death of Kenpom
November 29th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
I already love this team. And Juwan can coach, y'all!
November 29th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
Hope Simpson does not have a serious injury. Looks like he did something to his hip.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
X was dancing around minutes after the game. He, unlike your soul, is fine.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:02 PM ^
Here’s something funny: when U-M hired Juwan, Mike Valenti could barely contain his derision. Your beloved Spartans are next, Shithead.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
What are you doing still listening to that POS?
November 29th, 2019 at 5:14 PM ^
For the purely magnificent, schadenfreude pleasure.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
MGOBLOG must be running in Brian's basement somewhere. Maybe it's because the Back Friday...
November 29th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
This team looks good.
Three guards that can run the offense. Livers is Rice like. Teske is defensive game changer and has an inside outside game that’s a credit to Juwan. Franz is going to.grow like crazy this year. Castleton is hugely improved. Brooks and DDJ can get hot from three. Z can shoot 3s now. Johns is still out there.
This team is deep and probably better than last year.
November 29th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
You said it, about Livers and Rice....
And something tells me without Brooks and DDJ, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Both of them are playing at an All BIG level. Speaking of which, I will say again, we have five All BIG players, scattered among first, second teams and honorable mention..... Simpson, Teske, Livers, Brooks, DDJ.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
I'm all in with this team, but let's hold up a touch on the comparison to Rice. Can Livers get there? Seems like it could be that kind of season, but you're talking about the B1G POY, all-time leading scorer in school history, and tournament MOP. And on this team, a different player seems to be stepping up every game (DDJ, Brooks) with the big 3 being clear leaders.
Which shows you're spot on with the comment on those two. Lost in the 3-game run is the need for Davis to play key minutes in game one, DDJ and Brooks to be strong in game 2, and the power of this team when they aren't in foul trouble in game 3. Not to mention the reducing TOs.
The ceiling on this team is very high all of a sudden.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Way to go boys! What a great start to a big weekend!
November 29th, 2019 at 4:12 PM ^
Bring on Louisville!!!
November 29th, 2019 at 4:12 PM ^
Has any unranked team ever beaten top-10 teams in back to back days before? What a performance! Three games against three tournament-level teams in three days! Including back-to-back blowouts of top-10 teams in back-to-back days. And hail Coach Sanderson! DDJ and Brooks never played heavy minutes in the past, but they were both playing strong at the end of their third game in three days! And Wagner played well for having such a baptism of fire for his first three college games ever.
And thank you, upperclassmen. Teske: 19 points, 15 rebounds. Simpson: 13 points, 13 assists. Livers: 21 points, 5-8 from 3. Just unbelievable! The team shot 12-23 from 3 today! Only 11 turnovers! Best team in the country right now. Go Blue!
November 29th, 2019 at 4:17 PM ^
This team is playing some serious ball right now.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
Notice served.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
Amazing start to the season. We will be a top 4 seed in March and Teske is going to get drafted.
November 29th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
Michigan basketball continues to be a complete joy - we are experiencing a golden era of success!
This team is a complete blast to watch!
November 29th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Uh... I’m here for the POSbang?
November 29th, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
In a word, Wow!
November 30th, 2019 at 9:05 AM ^
Special shout out to Eli Brooks! A 2,000 point scorer in high school, his first 2 seasons didn’t go very smoothly. He didn’t pout and kept working. He had 14 treys last season and has 16 3 pointers already this year!
