Same starters. Crowd is pretty bad tonight but let's hope they come out with good energy. Hope Irvin can get his shot back tonight. GO BLUE!!!

Face it- the crowd at Crisler will never be great. During the 2012-2013 season, the crowds were quite dull except for big games. Same with 2013-2014. We'll never be Duke in terms of how their basketball fans show up to EVERY game even if they're playing Southern Drake Atlantic Penitentiary Compound University. It's the opposite for football though.

Never is a long time.  It takes sustained success over a long enough period of time that you can build a generation of kids that grow up perceiving Michigan as a basketball power.  Kids root for winners, and adults tend to like the team they grew up liking.  It's really as simple as that.

Well, the formula is simple.  Winning at a high level for the decade or two necessary, not as easy.

You pull a player who's off his game, why can't you pull a uniform that's an embarrassment?  I feel so bad for the guys having to wear them. 

At least the player can improve and helped to get his confidence back. But the only way these uniforms can improve is to put them in a big vat of dark blue dye.

Don't take this the wrong way but... Am I the only one that thinks we are kinda soft? Even if we win this game by 50+ I just don't see an intensity out of this team on the defensive end that I've seen out of our best from the last few years.
