1-3-1 FTW. Nice coaching by Beilein. Oh, you got something drawn up during your timeout? I don't think so.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
Looooooking good...
1-3-1 from what I've seen this year is looking great. They all understand their roles in the defense and Levert there showed why he's gotten the praise he has.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:33 PM ^
All that athleticism is huge for it.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
I love the transistion to zone after that timeout. Really caught them offguard.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:29 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 12:30 PM ^
Man, we are going to roll these guys out if they keep trying to run on us
December 8th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
Beilein asking McGary if he's ready to work is like asking water if it's wet enough.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
I would prefer that Burke would refrain from taking 35-foot 3's with 12 on the shot clock.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
LOL -- nice prayer, Trey
December 8th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
Morgan y u knock down Stauskas?
December 8th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
Morgan has really stepped up his game finishing around the basket.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
Beast mode enabled
December 8th, 2012 at 12:33 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 12:33 PM ^
Wade is a damn good player. Great off the dribble, I think that's his second steal.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
Morgan would pop his head like a zit.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
is so much fun to watch, They play so unselfishly and share the ball so well. The have fantastic energy as well. This team rocks
December 8th, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
STAUUUUUUUUUSKAS
December 8th, 2012 at 12:34 PM ^
Canadian Bacon is so good.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
I was really expecting more full court press than this...are they scared?
December 8th, 2012 at 12:37 PM ^
Is that it hasn't been very succesful so far. Also, the press leads to wide open shooters often which against Michigan means death
December 8th, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
Stauskas is just lethal. I keep waiting for this kid to come back down to earth, but it hasn't happened yet.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
Stauskas, after his three, was going to light it up, and then boom -- GRIII for 3
December 8th, 2012 at 12:36 PM ^
Very surprised the lack of press thus far by Arkansas.
WOW the three by Stauskas was aweseom. GRIII his second three. He's seemed to have missed many of his "open" looks the past couple weeks and two in a row today is a nice sign he's got a shot
December 8th, 2012 at 12:36 PM ^
since i cant post anything I was wondering if a conley commits to ohio is gonna be posted. wanted to heat what everyone says about him going to our enemy.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:37 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
I'm not all up on the news (it's obvious that there's a source saying he's committed to Ohio) but I can imagine you can brainstorm what the reaction around here will/would be.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:40 PM ^
it is on stinkeye nation on espn saying he committed to them.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:43 PM ^
and the thread ended up needing to be locked. Everyone was quite happy, as I'm sure you can imagine.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
Mr. Mario lay off the bottle and in the words of Darius Morris get the fuck off our blog.

People acted predictably. McFarlin/Mr. Mario got banned. Thread got locked.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
wait, was McFarlin really back?
December 8th, 2012 at 12:48 PM ^
The age was about right, both owned english bulldogs, and both had similar meltdowns.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
Someone please mash together all the clips of Beilein being wired.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
Can you imagine these Freshman with a whole season and offseason under their belts?? If we don't make a Final Four run this year we sure as hell are going to do it next year. I hope Burke decides to stick around for one more year.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
Current students:
When did the student section become a costume party? Have seen a full-out panda, two bumblebees, Guy Fawkes and a Teletubby thus far.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:46 PM ^
And a whole pack of elves...I don't get it.
December 8th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
When I was down there in the ruckus there was a guy who dressed up like a rat during the Duke game. We were behind Duke's bench, so there's a pretty obvious explanation there. I think it's pretty recent. There's always been Tommy's Troops/Beilein's Brigade/Bunch. I think it's the last two years that have brought out the costumes, perhaps spurred by Smotzrycz's Lobtrzyczs.
December 8th, 2012 at 4:47 PM ^
The Bees have always been there. I put on a rainsuit/poncho each game and wave a Canadian flag, for Stauskas making it rain threes, but the panda and pooh were new. The elves were some guys I know, it was a one-off Christmas thing.
Personally, I think costumes are great, but only if they're maize, just to stick with the theme. We've got some stuff planned though....
EDIT: Some other random costumes that make appearances: Chewbacca, chicken suits (yellow so I'm fine with that), a stormtrooper (one of them paints their helmet like a Michigan winged helmet, pretty cool), Tellytubbies (no), stuff like that.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:39 PM ^
bad foul
December 8th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
Dang Arkansas is having a block party out there.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:42 PM ^
McGary need to Jump.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:43 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 12:43 PM ^
Very sloppy with the ball when we're in the air, unless we're shooting.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:43 PM ^
Screen/killshot by McGary.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:44 PM ^
Nice patience and passing
December 8th, 2012 at 12:44 PM ^
Now that is how you finish Mitch!
December 8th, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
does he even have a TO all year? he seems to always make the right type of pass when pressured. very pleasantly surprised by his play.
December 8th, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
Nice aggression
