This is pretty standard operating procedure in college basketball. I think teams can have two closed scrimmages against another team a year.

Pretty cool. It'd be cool if we could do this in football instead of a spring game - except have it be open. It'd be nice to play a Bowling Green instead of a glorified practice

I understand other teams do this i mean why would Beilein do it this year? i dont remember he has ever done it before or has he?

My guess is they want to run the scrimmage more as a practice. That's difficult to do if you have fans there. This also explains why no stats are being kept.

to know people associated with the basketball team for these double secret games.  Student managers, staffers, and even the towel boy can usually get a lot of good information even though "no stats are recorded."
