Gawdawful play of Michigan aside,
I had all but forgotten about Buckner. I'm half-listening to the commentary and thinking who is this irritant, then it dawns on me. Still completely in the bag for IU--and I don't think that's true of any of the other BTN analysts and their schools--and much of his critique of Mich was, in reality, a critique of Beilein's system--though I'm not sure he kinows what it is. I think even Bobby has evolved more than Buckner, plus Bobby is a vastly superior analyst--dickishness aside.

A2, unfortunately, that is not on B's play calling card. The 2 man game would be tough to defend especially with a shooter setting the screen to either roll or pop out.

he's one of the great Hoosiers in IU history. Anyway, Michigan has not given him one thing to talk about.
David Brandon seems to genuinely adore Jim Beilein. I wonder what he's seeing. This is an awful game.

No surprise, Brandon thinks (as most do) that college basketball recruiting is generally dirty. As Brian Cook would say, as dirty as a dirt sandwich with extra dirt. And I think that Brandon just loves the notion that Beilein is a national paragon of cleanlines. And it sort of ends there.

Watch the cuts
Watch the cuts
Indiana, when making a cut, looks for the ball and goes hard toward the basket. On cuts off the ball for Blue, they rarely look for the ball or cut to the basket. They just go to spots to maintain floor balance. So, they have that going for them.
Defensive intensity is picking up...

After this game Michigan will be 11-7.
After this game their losses will have come against*:
#2 OSU
#3 Kansas
#4 Syracuse
#8 Purdue
#21 Wisconsin
UTEP
and Indiana.
Looking at this team before the season, did ANYONE expect them to be as good as a ranked team? No. That considered, the only losses anyone should even get a little upset about are UTEP and Indiana.
*rankings as of this week. Duke lost, so these will change.

This sentence is why I am frustrated. I would have thought in year four of any coach at an institution like Michigan, fans would have expected a ranked team.

yeah
yeah
In the 2005-2006 season Michigan was ranked 20th. This was the first time they had been ranked since 8 years before that. Clearly this is an elite program and its totally Beilein's fault that we can't expect to be ranked.
I guess I forgot the sarcasm tag on this one...

Why don't you do the same for our wins
Why don't you do the same for our wins
That's right we haven't beaten anybody. Our best win is Clemson or PSU who we struggled to beat at home. IU is one of the worst teams in the Big Ten and they kicked our a**. I know the team is young, but that isn't necessarily a deterrent in hoops.
It was interesting when they were talking about JB working with Morgan on the 17 foot jumper. I have two issues with this- when he's on the floor he's generally our only post threat so lets move him away from the basket (0 rebounds the first ten minutes) and maybe JB should spend time working with the guys launching the threes we shoot a ton of them and make very few.

Keep going to the 1-3-1
Keep going to the 1-3-1
Killing Michigan off the dribble in their man to man.
Duke was good. Indiana is 9-8 overall and 0-4 the Big Ten. Good thing we loaded up on cupcakes early or this team would have a hard time getting to the teens in wins. This is JBs fourth year isn't it? Please recruit Detroit. One player in four years just doesn't cut it with all the talent there.
