Um no.  I've been using thefrontrow for a while now and it's an unbelievably consistent way to watch ANY game (no baseball though).  I've never owned a TV in my life so I watch games on my computer.

Doubt it.  I believe it was bilateral knee tendonitis last year.  Hopefully he just rolled an ankle. If his jumper gets better, he could allow coach B go big more effectively.

heads up, btn on xfinity.tv

For those with comcast/xfinity, xfinity.tv has recently added btn to their "live now" section, at no extra cost (along with the espn's, disney, etc.). So, if you have btn on comcast you can watch it without having to pay extra for btn2go. You just need to sign in with your comcast login.

So happy to see us getting the passing lanes.  It's been bugging me this season and we already have two hustle plays on defense that have led to two easy steals and two easy layups.

That he does. Very active and takes up a ton of space. It's just frustrating to see him make a great play on either end of the floor, have the ball in his hands and then...DO'H hands of stone sometimes. But I'm being picky. I've been very pleased with his play so far.

Shot Selection

What you want to see in games like this is good shot selection. I'm not particularly worried about the score --- we're going to win. But are we getting good looks? Are we taking good shots? Are we working certain possessions --- pushing the ball in the right spots?

These are things we need to worry about more than anything. In that Bradley game, this was what concerned me the most.

Completely disagree

Before this game Vogrich was playing very well. He's been a much better defender than Stauskas and had taken on that gritty role that we needed.

He was getting like 8 minutes a game, so it's a nonfactor, but he was certainly playing better than he has all year.

This has BY FAR been his worst game.

Vogrich really struggled

Vogrich really strugged in his first time off the bench...I might go back with putting him in the starting lineup and bringing him out quickly for Stauskas.

Then again, Levert is likely going to eat into his minutes. Wouldn't be shocked to see Stauskas start and Levert be the backup wing player.

No he wasn't...

He was playing well all things considered. Stauskas was lightyears ahead of him on the offensive end. But he was playing solid defense while Stauskas was giving up easy baskets earlier this year. He was also the first guy on the floor for loose balls and scrappy plays.

He was playing his role well. Then Stauskas was coming off the bench playing his. I think the emergence of Levert has more to do with Vogrich to the bench than Nik's play. Stauskas is always going to get starter's minutes whether he's starting or not.

STFU

He is a part of this team. Stop treating him like some sort of cancer. You have no idea what he contributes on or off the floor...I know I don't, but when I watch him, he does the little things well. He can get hot and produce a mini run by himself. Is he a starter...No...Is he a player who can provide some time off the bench...Yes. Stauskus is catching up on the D-end, and hence, greater minutes.

Disagree

He provides leadership and a gritty presence that we need at times. Is that deserving of being a starter? Depends.

If it's just him and Stauskas...I have no problem with Vogrich starting and coming out at the 16 minute media timeout. That's 8-10 minutes a game. Stauskas with 25-30.

The X-Factor is Levert...with Caris now in the mix, that time is going to come from Vogrich, not Stauskas.

Remind you of someone?

Remind you of someone in his sophomore year last year?

It's not surprising, you have so much success, flirt with the NBA and come back trying to be the man. You also know you can play outside of the framework of the offense a little more.

Burke will leave after this year and be fine, but if he came back his Junior year. He'd be unstoppable.

Agreed

And that's exactly what I mean about shot selection...in the early games, Burke chucks up at 26 foot 3 for no reason.

He was supposed to redshirt due to his slight build but supposedly he's been too good in practice to keep out.

I read this thread on the toilet before turning on the game. Based on all of the comments, I expected a tie game.. however, Michigan was up by like 15 when I turned the game on before the half ended. Something is wrong with this board. Too negative.

Because it was a tie game...

...we went on a 11-0 run late in the half. It doesn't take many shots to do that. I'm sure you saw the Stauskas 3 comments, the Trey Burke comments and the Caris Levert comments. That happened and boom, we're up going into halftime.

Lots of good and bad in that

Lots of good and bad in that first half.

The good outweighs the bad, of course.  It's awesome to have a team so athletic that the screw up an offensive possession and are able to come back on defense, make a play, and get a fast break/transition bucket.  The "talent" on this team is great.  It's putting that talent together and getting it to gel, day in and day out, possession after possession, and for a complete game come April and March; the talent alone will win some Big Ten games even if they play poorly.  But getting far in March will be a sight to see as this team will be clicking and playing on a different level than we're even seeing now.

Trey has showed some NBA shots thus far in the game (thankfully, as a few were during stretches noone else was doing anything).  Defense looks very good at times but getting caught with those backdoor/screens a few times has given WMU some easy points.  Jordan Morgan looks great.  The steal and fast break was a very athletic "chain of events".  THJ also looking very good.  Getting to the basket like a Boss; a few misses, yes, but he's not settling for lower efficiency shots.  Let's see that trend continue all season.

 

Go Blue.  (WMU is actually a decent looking team, all things considered).

A lot less bad than you think...

We just need to execute, if shots aren't falling...not the end of the world. We'll win. You can't shoot the lights out every game.

We're up by like 20, and he hasn't been on the court in forever. We may as well be complaining about Eso Akunne.

Let it go. It's clear you don't have a working knowledge of the game of basketball, roles or rotations. It's fine, there should be plenty more 3's and dunks left in this game to tickle your fancy.

We've turned it up defensively...

That's going to be the key for us this year...we have the talent on the offensive end. But if we can be a "B" or better team on the defensive end. This is a Final Four type team.

^THIS

Because he's been below average to awful for most of the year. I've really been impressed with his improvement tonight.

In previous games he was always a step behind and going one way when the offensive player was going the other. Luckily, that guy usually missed and it didn't really show. Also, while he was giving up a potential 2 --- he was raining 3's on the other end.

If he can be an average level defender, he's a legit All-Conference type player.

I agree.  He needs to be much more assertive.  Whenever he touches the ball, his first look is someone to pass to.  I'd like to see him attack the basket a little bit more.

He seemed to lose it a couple of games ago...

He wasn't shooting well and kind of lost it after that Pitt game. he got flat out abused by CJ Leslie if you watched close.

It's a great learning experience though, he'll grow...but I wouldn't be surprised to see McGary get more minutes as the 4.

He's not even 2 and done.

He's going to be very good, but it's going to take experience. He's just raw and unorthodox. Give him a couple years and lookout, he could carry this team in 2014-15.

I think he has a HUGE Junior year and leaves after that. I think GRIII has his big year next year and is forced with a big decision. The other guys stay all 4 years. Stauskas to be is a guy that is going to be a kid B1G teams hate ala Jon Diebler at OSU or JJ Reddick or Duke.

Yea, what?  No, he's not Shaq yet, but the kid is showing signs of greatness; and already.  Hes acclimating himself, yes, and again isn't "lighting it up" offensively, but we really don't need him to do that, yet.

Hardaway and Burke take too many shots, along with Stauskas. We don't need another guy on the floor to shoot. We need someone to hustle and get rebounds --- he's exactly what we need this year.

forced his man to rotate towards the baseline, right into help defense, easy stop and taking it the other way.  Just great maturity and basketball sense.

Probably tired...

He played what seemed like 105 minutes vs. Bradley because it was his hometown and his mom brought the team maize and blue ice cream (not a lie). I'm sure he'll get some run late in the game --- I'm happy with Horford getting back into the flow.

Somebody was asking for

foot on pedal earlier, well there you have it, great defense, rebounding, running in the open court, hustle, savvyness from so many including the freshmen.

What I really like about this team is that even though the freshmen are really talented, they still need just enough seasoning to not want to go to the NBA too soon and some will be aroud a few years, I love it.

McGary moves so much, he can easily play the 4...

Somewhat...

But he's also good friends with Burke's family so it's not out of spite. He just knows that we're not where we want to be and we have bigger aspirations.

I think he's also acknowledging that we've become more than a jump shooting team. It's a compliment.

Gonna be honest, this team is playing as good of basketball as I've ever seen a team play at Michigan.

Probably because this is the best team you've seen at Michigan.

I'm assuming you never saw the Fab 5 or were too young to remember. This is clearly the best team since those teams. We'll see if we can keep improving and win big games, but talent and chemistry wise. We haven't had a better team since those 5 were sophomores.

Actually, I did watch the Fab Five. I was young, 12, but I remember how good they were. This team's performance tonight is reminiscent of those games I saw.

They won a lot differently...

They won how Kentucky wins...not how this team wins. Both ways work, to me, this is the way to build a program and keep it there.

This is certainly the best team we've had since the Fab 5. Not at that level yet, but they're getting there --- they could absolutely reach that level but they've got to get tougher and better defensively. Also they just have to face some big time teams before we say they're going to be great.

With that said, they're doing what they're supposed to be doing.

I'm 31. I remember how awesome we were in the Fab Five era and just after. As I posted below, I just said this team is playing on that level. Even when we're not playing our best, we're killing teams.

No way..

Then again if Akunne had any say, he'd get you there. That guy shoots ALL the time. He's like that kid at the park that's alright, but a straight black hole when he gets the ball. It's funny to me.

Hah.  Well put.  A straight black hole when he gets the ball (I've never heard that before, that's a good one).  But it's true.  He tries to get his when he's out there.  You really can't blame the guy.  It's not as if they're terrible shots, though most haven't been great by any means either.  A few games ago when he was getting some PT in the middle of a game and he jacked up shots two (sub-par at best) straight possessions, that was not good basketball.

Looked awful for 6 minutes...

We flipped a switch midway through the first half and never looked back. We went from bad to dominant defensively. Sometimes it just takes a little time. In the end, this was one of the most complete games you'll ever see.

Ha, ha, ha.  Izzo has been trying to build a program in the tradition of Duke and North Carolina but I think it's Beilein who is going to accomplish that with his coaching smarts and rosters of talented, smart, good citizen kids.
