Glenn Robinson III does something that makes everyone's jaw drop.
Stauskas shows flashes of his shooting ability but misses a few because of first game jitters.
McGary doesn't dominate because of his leg thing and people freak out unnecessarily.

Makes everyone forget about RG3 and scores 15, of which one bucket is a monster dunk showing off his athletic ability.
November 1st, 2012 at 7:20 AM ^
will this preseson game be on B1G Network? Hope so - I'm overseas and want to stream it. Crazy as its only a preseason game, but I am so excited for UM bball season to begin, and I'm very interesting/curious to see how the new boys play.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:30 AM ^
UMHoops lists BTN.com as the "TV" provider. It's defnitely not on regular BTN, at least according to my TV guide.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:33 AM ^
is BTN.com free?
November 1st, 2012 at 11:00 AM ^
The game is listed in the live events tab at BTN.com, but a subscription to their network is $14.95 per month or $119.95 per year, but there are student discounts for member institutions, of course ($9.99 per month or $79.95 per year, if memory serves).
As others have mentioned, all signs point to the game being streamed on MGoBlue.com, so that's definitely the better bet, but if BTN is the provider, I wonder if you have to sign up for it.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:09 AM ^
My OSU friend has a subscription but still could not get the OSU game to play two nights ago despite much effort from both of us. To make a long story short, I was thoroughly unimpressed with both the BTN site and their customer service...Also, remember that signing up for BTN.com means that you have an ongoing subscription, i.e., you will be charged every month until you cancel.
November 1st, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
They replayed the OSU exhibition game yesterday during the day (I want to say around three or so?) on regular BTN, so it could still end up on the air, just not live.
November 1st, 2012 at 6:29 PM ^
There will be a replay Monday at 4 p.m. on BTN (the actual TV channel).
November 1st, 2012 at 12:25 PM ^
check with your cable provider. Mine does not offer BTN, but does allow access (for free) through the cable company's website.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:59 AM ^
Looks like MGoBlue.com will be streaming it for free.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:43 AM ^
Why do you say this? I'm looking at it and it's listed as a premium link so I'm pretty sure you have to sign up for the $9.95 monthly access to view it.

Gibbons with 6 FGs
November 1st, 2012 at 7:53 AM ^
Coach Beilein will find a way.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:13 AM ^
Spike Albrecht will have more successful attempts and fewer turnovers tonight than Russell Bellomy has in his current Michigan career.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:20 AM ^
November 1st, 2012 at 9:15 AM ^
will get a triple double.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:15 AM ^
Is there really going to be a live feed online to watch this?
http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-baskbl/sched/mich-m-baskbl-sched.html
put your cursor over the game on the schedule and it says "Coverage Gametracker live video". Should I count on this being exactly what it sounds like?
Go Blue!!
November 1st, 2012 at 8:18 AM ^
Is tonight's game on TV?
November 1st, 2012 at 8:29 AM ^
I don't believe it's on TV and I don't even see anything on BTN2go about the game, but MGoBlue.com allaccess seems to imply they'll have a live stream of it. If you are in Michigan, you can still pick up tickets for $5 though.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:25 AM ^
I think something like 98-48. We'll see the starters play some solid minutes in the first half but by the 2nd half the bench will be seeing the rest of the time out there.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:32 AM ^
Michigan gets their first 100-point game since 2007-08 against oakland.
Michigan 108 northern 67
November 1st, 2012 at 9:25 AM ^
I thought they scored 100 last time they played Northern in I believe 2009
November 1st, 2012 at 9:42 AM ^
Negative - only scored 97 against NMU in 2009.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:32 AM ^
November 1st, 2012 at 8:34 AM ^
Trey Burke doesn't play.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:35 AM ^
In an effort just to be helpful, game is on BTN.com and is being done by BigTenStudentU. I didn't say on MGoBlue, so I figured I'd share that, since I'd heard some confusion.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:38 AM ^
Trey Burke for the game due to suspension for an unspecified violation of team rules, and get to see how Spike, Timmay, and even Nik Stauskus perform at the point. Should be darned interesting.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
Michigan wins easily. Does anyone else find it odd that college basketball gets an exhibition game when the regular season doesn't matter so much but college football doesn't get anything when their regular season means everything. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same?
November 1st, 2012 at 12:27 PM ^
Kinda sorta. The only thing is that with football the season means everything so you don't want to risk any injuries in an exhibition. Plus you can schedule a weak school and basically get an exhibition anyway....of course sometimes that backfires.
November 1st, 2012 at 12:48 PM ^
I've wondered if the exhibition games aren't more for the benefit of the opponents. Traveling squads like Athletes in Action and small schools get some exposure. It's not hard to schedule creampuffs.with almost 350 teams in Division 1.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:10 AM ^
With Spike in I am setting the over/under at 5 oops.

I don't like seeing anyone suspended for a game, but that is the way things are done at Michigan. When JB looks into the eyes of a parent and tells them he will help develop their sons into young men, they know he is telling the truth.
This is especially impressive when one considers that, 65 miles or so away, the two players who took part in the Wonders Hall Coverup are starting. JB is to be commended for making personal development more important than a basketball game.
On the floor, the great part about this is that Spike is going to get a chance to be "the man" at PG against a real, live opponent. This playing time should help him develop, and should help jump start his career in the Maize and Blue. The sooner he becomes a dependable substitute, the better the team is.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:55 AM ^
Not only that, but Burke's absence may force Hardaway into more of a ball handling capacity, and he needs to work toward being a reliable secondary ball handler. I am also interested to see Burke's disposition as I am assuming he is going to be on the bench. I know I am in the minority but I have my concerns regarding Burke considering the NBA flirtations and the "it is my life" tweets, etc. The suspension has done nothing to ease my concerns and I hope to see him as the number 1 cheerleader on the bench tonight.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
Spike don't play with girls.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:28 AM ^
Trey Burke scores 75 points in a 75-20 blowout. /s
It's an exhibition game. As long as we get the W I don't care what the score is. I just hope there is a way to watch the game somewhere, I can't wait to see what this team can do.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:51 AM ^
According to NMU 's website:
The NMU men’s basketball team opens the 2012-13 season with an exhibition game at the University of Michigan on Thursday. Doug Lewis enters his third season as the head coach. The Wildcats finished 9-17 last season and 5-14 in the GLIAC. The game can be viewed onBTN.com | Season Preview | Michigan Game Notes
I saw a video link (like others have said) on MGoBlue.com, so i'd check there first, if not, then maybe BTN is streaming it.

76- 52 Michigan wins... WOOOOOOO.. Borges is going to be there inline for food you will see him.. He is working on his food calling not his play calling. He runs this power food offense where he shoves his face full of food when he is calling plays
November 1st, 2012 at 10:44 AM ^
If an exhibition game is played against a team I didn't even know existed and it is not televised and our starting PG doesn't play, does it really happen?
November 1st, 2012 at 10:48 AM ^
anything really ever happen Neo?
