For all the pre-season hype

Hardaway sure hasn't been shooting well most of this season.  I wish he would take it in for something shorter to jump start his game.  Just heaving threes is a tough way to get it going.

Distance does not always = difficulty

A lot of people seem to think that stepping closer to the basket makes a shot easier.  That's not necessarily so.  Moving closer can give the defense a better chance to challenge a shot.  And intermediate shots can often be harder than three-pointers, especially when the shooter is on the move and has to pull up.

For someone like Hardaway, who has three-point range, I think a wide-open 20 footer, shot in rhythm and off a good pass, is an easier shot that a 12-15 footer, off the dribble, after a pump fake -- especially when the 20 footer is from the corner and the pull up is along the baseline.

Hardaway

Is dropping his hand to the right on his follow through instead of pointing at the basket. This different than during the early games when he was shooting better. If he can work from the inside out it may help fix things.

Unless you know a way to bypass it, people can only use it if their ISP pays ESPN money for the service. There are some significant providers (like Qwest, which I have), which do not do this.

Defense

I am really impressed with our defense so far this year.  We have some decent height down low but alot of it lacks bulk.  We seem to be holding our own regardless.  (except for Rocco a few weeks ago)

on that last possesion and no foul call.  Then a bad foul call against Morgan in which the announcers said something like "look at Ted Valentine getting into the act with that energetic foul call."  What a joke Valentine is.

No, I'm not pretending to be the knowledge. Just pointing out that this is the first ESPN3.com game I've seen. I suspect I'll be watching many more. The technology is really getting there. There are some glitches and missed seconds, but overall not bad. And any time you get to hear Tim McCormick, it's a good day.

I know we've all said this a million times in the last couple years, but if we could just make a damn 3, we'd be an excellent team.  33% shooting would give us an 11 point lead, 40% would have us up 14.  So frustrating, yet tantalizing.

the what-if game.

I play it all the time though, and it appears Michigan always seems to be losing in that regard.

/sadpanda

In other news, I'm seriously sitting on ESPN's website and watching the box score for the game.  I have no effing idea what's happening on the court but methinks it's going well if we take an 8 point lead to the locker room.

it's that he's not sure what he's doing. The guy always seems to understand what's going on on the court and how to fix/improve it. It's just a matter of getting the players to execute.

Agreed.

I remember watcing some of Amaker's squads go through the entire game doing the exact same thing even when it wasn't working at all. I think he was more of a gameplan guy. He'd come up with a pregame strategy, and that was it hell or high water. Worked sometimes, sometimes didn't.

This team is really fun to watch.
Also, as a side note, I'm becoming a fan of ESPN3.com. It still needs some work but is light years ahead of watching a stream on justin.tv or those other sites.

Ranked?

Any chance we crack the top 25 before we get into Big Ten play?  With this win today and a probable win again Bryant, we wil be sitting at 10-2 going into a home game against Purdue.  I realize that we really havn't beaten anyone thus far, but 10-2 is still a nice start.  Thoughts?

Just put it on - we're up 20! Holy shit!

Quick summary anyone?  Is our defense playing that well or have they missed some makeable shots?  Any individual heroes?

They've shot dismally, but a lot of it is because we're forcing them into some tough shots. Some open threes haven't gone down for them though.

Novak needs to stop leaving his feet without knowing what he's going to do with the ball.  He's turned it over at least 3 times doing that today.

Yeah

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more press in the future after this game since they haven't shown they can turn it into easy buckets.  Pretty much need Stu and Morris out there when the other team is pressing since we just don't have many other great ballhandlers.

I can't wait to see where we are in 4 weeks.  I don't think we're going to struggle to make the NIT.  We may even get a big dance invite.  They refuse to pack it in when things get tough and that will get them far even in the big 10.

So what do I win?  I have to give a speech.  Let's see.  You like me,  You really like me... 

 

Seriously.  This team has heart.  If they can snatch a couple tough big 10 wins and beat the lower teams, then why not a dance invite?  Aren't the wide eye dreamy thoughts of winning it all fun?

Just saw in the stats that Oakland attempted 31, 3's. Holy crap that's a lot.

Our defense inside

is supreme, especially considering how young it is. Those boys from the ACC are gonna be POed when they see what we've done to their beautiful game, what with all this defensive stuff.

We doubled and tripled down

We doubled and tripled down on Benson and dared OU to beat us from deep, though we did rotate and close out on shooters well. 

Reggie Hamilton went 6/14 from three, and the rest of Oakland's team 0/17.

Beilein knows what he's doing. Benson only took 8 shots and finished with 11 points after going for 26 pts / 11 boards vs. Tennessee.  Our defense locked him down and the rest of Oakland's squad couldn't carry the load.

A great win.  Very impressed

A great win.  Very impressed by this team, and definitely think they have exceeded expectations so far.  An outside chance at the NCAA tournament is there if they get some breaks.

Beilein

Had a great defensive gameplan today. Benson was frustrated all game and never got into a groove. Its nice to have big guys that can bang down low if need be. Novak had a great game rebounding, defensively and cleaning up at the end

Predictions for Big Ten changing?

I haven't followed the team that cosely yet but this is another impressive win. Are people changing their expectations for the Big Ten season based on the non-conference performance?

this was a big win for us.

this was a big win for us. Oakland is a solid team who will probably win the Summit League and make the NCAA Tournament. I love the way our young guys play together. Really impressed with Morris (the Denard Robinson of the basketball team in terms of offseason improvement), John Beilein's coaching ability, and our low post defense against Benson.

Count me as impressed with that win.  Oakland will more than likely be a tournament team and that was a convincing win.  I like what Beilein is doing and I'm very impressed with the improvement of Morris.  Good things are coming...

Damn they looked good

on D.   They pretty much took Benson out of his element and forced Oakland's lowest scoring game of the year.  The only negative take away from that game was all of the transition buckets they missed right under the net.  I think I counted about 3-4.

Awesome

The NCAA Tournament has gone from being a pipe dream to a possibility.  A .500 record in conference - can we do it?

.500 won't cut it this year...

Michigan was 10-2 going into conference play in 2008, and (providing we get a win over Bryant), it appears Michigan has a shot at going 10-2 preconference again this year.

The problem?

In 2008, Michigan notched 2 wins over Top 5 teams (UCLA, Duke).  One of their losses was to Maryland (by 5) and the other to then No. 10 Duke. 

This year, Michigan has a 3 point loss to 'Cuse and laid an egg against UTEP.

Even if Michigan can somehow manage No. 3 Kansas, I just don't see 9-9 in conference play working, unless there's some upsets (Purdue, Mich State, Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin, etc.) on the way.

True, but I believe the Big Ten is stronger this year (or at least, it seems so) than it was then.  I think our RPI/SoS will be sufficient for us to get a nod if we can go 9-9.  We'll see.

(FWIW, that UCLA team we beat i'n '08-'09 was in the top 5 at the time we played them, but ended up more like top 20-25.)

Agree

The Big Ten is much deeper this year than in 08'.

Very impressive performance! 

Very impressive performance!  Horford's frame, though lanky, gives him leverage to play some great defense, and his overall decision-making ability has improved, as has our defense. 

Darius is going to be a special player, and Morgan and Smotrcyz look like they're beginning to blossom.

I love how...

we're spreading the ball around.  I would much rather have everyone on the team averaging near 10 points than 2 players averaging 30 because if they're off, you're toast.

And not good tasty toast.

Burnt toast.
