Want to see general team and individual improvement; we have a lot of room to grow! Go Blue, beat Pitt!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
Michigan fans have overreacted about basketball every non-conference season since 2010. Relax, its basketball. These games are just points for the tourny committee. The real season doesn't start until January!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:06 PM ^
November 16th, 2022 at 6:02 PM ^
Crispin? He's almost as bad as Bardo. They should just permanently assign Robbie Hummel to our games.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:05 PM ^
Great, we've given them hope
November 16th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
I like the way we are playing, seem calmer and more composed
November 16th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
Sheesh our defense.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
BUFKIN!!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
It's going to be one of those games where the opponent makes 80% of their threes, isn't it?
I get UM isn't playing great defense but they do feel snakebitten a bit.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:09 PM ^
Hey, we're Michigan. We get folks' best shot.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
It’s cutting both ways early here. Both teams shooting very well from the floor.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:12 PM ^
Yeah. It's just that Pitt isn't a particularly good offense so the shooting just feels more atypical.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:13 PM ^
Ok well Michigan is not a particularly good defense so maybe not so atypical
November 16th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
I really hope Llewelyn figures it out soon. Otherwise the guard play looks real concerning.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:17 PM ^
Yeah he’s painful to watch right now
November 16th, 2022 at 6:13 PM ^
I think alot of if this team ends up being successful is if our PG play can at least be average, and also can we get anything out of the transfer Baker. If he can be a solid bench contributor it would be huge.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
If the foul issues were just a blip against EMU, then Baker is a good piece and maybe even starter material
November 16th, 2022 at 6:15 PM ^
Hard to complain about the offensive execution so far. They’ve got every shot they want
November 16th, 2022 at 6:17 PM ^
I think they'll start going down. I really like the vibe of the team today, they feel like they are ready for this game.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
We continue to feel and play like a poor man's Iowa. I think Jaelin is slowly figuring it out though which is a good sign.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Pitt's hot to start but M's right there with them.
It does feel as if switches on D are still shaky.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:21 PM ^
Woah that was a crazy nice floater from Dug.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:21 PM ^
So when do we hear calls for Bufkin to play point?
November 16th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Hunter gets it going... And comes out?
November 16th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
This does give our freshman experience; we know what we have with Hunter. If we need him, I'm sure he'll be in there.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:32 PM ^
Not mad at that. They just were getting him in a rhythm... So I wanted to see a hunter run
November 16th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Guys: talk about the game. Y'know, about what's happening.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Play making from… Joey baker?!?!? Am I dreaming.
also fuck jon crispin for the “is Michigan a down transfer from Duke” comment
November 16th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
Coming from a Penn State player.. What a joke
November 16th, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
If you think in terms of 'Star Power', it makes sense. The guy hardly got playing time at Duke with all those 5 stars on the team. At Michigan, we don't have that much 'Star Power', and he'll probably see more playing time. He was a highly touted player out of high school.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Great drive and dish from Baker.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
Not Just a Shooter
November 16th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Another opponent hitting their FTs well.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Freshman needed to step up and they are doing it!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
It’d be nice to see them play a little more defense
November 16th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Reed is a big boy. Why didn't he play against emu?
November 16th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
He did, he was part of the rotation that blew a double digit lead in the middle of the 1st half.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:28 PM ^
Oh. Must've missed that entire stretch.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Tarris, big fella... Throw it down. No gentle layups
November 16th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
Did this guy really feel the need to say Baker transferred DOWN to Michigan? A wildly unnecessary shot.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
Jett can certainly get downhill real real well with his right hand.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
Jett really showing some diversity in his game.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
The no Hunter/Jett lineup not making an appearance thus far in this half.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
Jett is great, but it seems like he always drives and finishes off one foot, sometimes a jump stop may be beneficial.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:32 PM ^
lulz
"Jump stop. Ball fake. Two handed power layup"
This ain't 1995 anymore!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:36 PM ^
Except even today over 80% of drives are finished off two feet
November 16th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
How many fouls on Reed? C'mon announcers!
November 16th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
Reed is a problem for the other team on defense. That kid can play. Add Twill with Reed and that's an intimidating front court on the defensive end
November 16th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
Sheesh our defense is atrocious.
November 16th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
The refs suck
