COld blooded off the start

Thank god they call a foul on Arkansas, last year they got away with everything.

Go Blue.  Good start thus far.

lulz...nice turnover Arkansas

No full court press?

Morgan getting better and better at finishing.

Nice ref-ing...Goal tend for sure

Terrible no call on goaltending.

Jordan Morgan killing it on the offensive glass.

Jordan Morgan is beasting early. Controlling the glass.

If Morgan is beasting on the glass so should mcgary

My God..how does that sh*t go in....2 fuggin' threes in a row for them....This garbage from last year better not happen again.

What movement McGAry...but I won't be surprised if that should have been a blocking call

Make up call on that "charge" for the 2 they bumbled badly.....

They are taking bad shots and hitting them so far.  We are looking pretty good still, even though it is tied.

Hardaway is reckless with the ball

Does Arkansas shoot 98.7% from the floor in all their games or just against us?

huh; forearms to the chest are blocking fouls.

I guess Powell can shoot huh?

Someone please tell CBS not everyone has a widescreen TV.  Letterbox that shit, it's really annoying not seeing the ball off the side of the screen.

Wow these refs are terrible so far

Starting to like Spike!

GRIII BABY

by Robinson

Holy shit, GR III !!

WOW...looked like a foul too

pretty much the most awkward old white guy speech, lol

There ya go Tim!

Timmy with the bigtime three, and look at that crowd. Has Crisler EVER been that full? Even for MSU or OSU?

This is how we do it.....

i thought that shot by Tim was a 3.. guess not

Good God -- everyone, everyone on our team can flat-out ball -- this is just great!

Michigan starts to flex its muscle.....

DAMN i liked the sound of that.   A LOT

1-3-1 FTW.  Nice coaching by Beilein.  Oh, you got something drawn up during your timeout?  I don't think so.

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.

to be a BALLER! Spikes got better athleticism than i thought too. Its reassuring to know that at least those two will be there for four years!

Man, we are going to roll these guys out if they keep trying to run on us

Beilein asking McGary if he's ready to work is like asking water if it's wet enough. 

I would prefer that Burke would refrain from taking 35-foot 3's with 12 on the shot clock. 

LOL -- nice prayer, Trey

Morgan y u knock down Stauskas?

Morgan has really stepped up his game finishing around the basket.

Beast mode enabled

Morgan looks like a whole new ball player.

Wade is a damn good player.  Great off the dribble, I think that's his second steal.

Morgan would pop his head like a zit. 

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

STAUUUUUUUUUSKAS

Canadian Bacon is so good.

I was really expecting more full court press than this...are they scared?

Stauskas is just lethal. I keep waiting for this kid to come back down to earth, but it hasn't happened yet.

Stauskas, after his three, was going to light it up, and then boom -- GRIII for 3

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

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.

Someone please mash together all the clips of Beilein being wired.

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.

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.

bad foul

Go up strong Mitch!

Dang Arkansas is having a block party out there. 

McGary need to Jump.

Good screen Mitch.

Very sloppy with the ball when we're in the air, unless we're shooting. 

Screen/killshot by McGary.

Nice patience and passing

Now that is how you finish Mitch!

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.

Nice aggression

That is why we dunk the goddamn basketball, Mr. Burke. 

If we weren't as sloppy, we could be up by 20 by now. 

Possession wasted...that had to go to Horford there...

if it is saying what i said was messed up or whatever.   fuck off.      I cant post anything and all i was saying is that espn on their buckeye nation page says he committed to them and if that is somehow a bad comment cause someone said they couldnt confirm the source then no wonder people say us wolverine fans are arrogant because of people like you.  I am die hard and bleed maize and blue.        but around here conley going to the enemy is a big deal to everyone else who reads this blog it seems.

Who holds a Bud Light like that?

Pitbull does, and he does it while rapping a terrible song.

We're solid defensively and playing hard but we have to finish at the rim boys

Beilein needs to tear these guys apart in the locker room.  Too sloppy, and then trying some hotdog crap.

Currently outrebounding them 21-7!

I hate Doug Gottlieb.  

At this point the biggest worry I have for the team is injuries when 4 of our guys collide getting the defensive rebound.  The team is playing together and is so fluid and fundamentally strong; this is beautiful to watch.

Is Bartlestein (sp) a grad assistant now? I see him in a suit on the bench.

I know it is but if i could post something then I wouldnt comment here about it so someone else could post it.   thats all i am saying

to punt it.

Fucking 3balls keeping them in the game.

atta boy Trey.

My bad didnt go far enough back.   that is all anyone had to say and not acting like they are all high and mighty.  everyone makes mistakes and i own up to mine but no wonder alot of people quit comin here or posting because of people like that.    anyways

Everybody has the best 3 shooting game of there career vs us.

Doug just gave us no credit...

Did Borges get a 2nd job?

Let's not talk about the teams that are playing.. We can just ask hypotheticals all half.

Absolutely laying the smack down on like every team right now. I don't think he likes any team

Ark should be called for way more traveling

I love all the 6'5" to 6'7" guys we have who can dribble, shoot, defend, rebond and are long

We just need to settle down on some shots and put this game away, that and Ark has gotten lucky with their 3's to keep them within 10 points

"we don't need to take a timeout.. We got a coach on the floor."

like the rebounds...we will shoot ourselves out off our cold start on this possession!

Lord.  I can't wait to see the reboudning numbers at the end of this (knock on wood).  Keep it up boys

Fuck did that just say about Burke? Indafatigable?

And they have so much potential. Young, athletic, deep bench and lots of room for improvement.

Anyone noticed GRIII with the butterfingers today? A little strange...

The team looks lazy coming out of the half.

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

Please remove head from ass quickly

Very slow start to the second half.  Need to respond.

The hell are we doing this half? its like everyone hit the done button at half time. Lackadaisical effort.

start for 2nd half, come on boys, stay focused

playing sloppy now

Damn broken plays. I hear they can be very dangerous



/look at that speed

Ouch grabbing at the musculotendinous junction of the hamstring (weak part).  Hopefully he's ok, would be a big loss for pig sooey.

How is it that Arkansas shoots their best against us?!

It just seems like Michigan gets content with getting up by a few points and does not focus on basic good passes and decisions on a lot of their possessions.  They need to get a few of them to watch and try to emulate the type of energy McGary appears to play with all of the time.  

If they could clear up those loses of intensity they could be truly dangerous, but there just seems to be too many times now over the last 4-5 games where that seems to happen and really good teams are going to exploit that if it continues.

Not the guy you would think would help when the team is playing sloppy, but he always brings energy.  Sometimes that is enough to bring everyone else up.

At least Morgan is still playing like a man possessed.

Ice Ice Baby. 

If I hear "My Adidas" at the next time out, I'm done. 

wow wtf no foul? what the shit?

Trey, to the trailer

Are you f**king kidding me?

Stop turning over the dang ball!!!!!!!!

WTF?!

Welp fuck this shit.

too much one on one...
