Predictions for Mich/Saginaw Valley bball
Tonight is the final exhibition for Michigan as they host Saginaw Valley State at Crisler 7pm. Trey Burke will be back and very excited to see him on the floor with Hardaway and these freshman. This is going to be a very exciting season. I like Michigan big tonight.
Michigan 94
Saginaw 52

A thousand Thank Yous

to put us all on the fence about whether he should get a redshirt. He'll play really well, but still look like he carries my weight on a frame six-and-a-half inches taller.

are uncommon
November 5th, 2012 at 1:45 PM ^
I think we only have 3 players on our roster that had redshirts. Horford, Morgan and Bielfeldt.

Michigan 90 svsu 50

I just hope they're not looking past SVSU to the big Slippery Rock game on Friday night.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:30 AM ^
I see a lot of snarky comments about Slippery Rock, but that might be an interesting game. They beat Ed DeChellis's Div. 1 Navy team in an exhibition, and they have a lot of older players:
Slippery Rock was picked second in the NCAA Division II PSAC Conference, one of the top leagues in the country, and features a roster that consists of seven seniors and many players that ranged in ages from 23 to 27 years old.
"We obviously didn't play very well, but we I thought we got accustomed to the speed of the game in the second half and started to make some shots, but overall, we weren't happy with our performance," said Navy head coach Ed DeChellis. "Slippery Rock is a very, very good basketball team. They have very good, athletic players that can score and shoot the basketball. They are a very experienced, older team that have played a lot of basketball together. We wanted to play a team that would challenge us with their athleticism and physicalness and they exposed some things that we know we need to get cleaned up."

they won 3 games last year and two were against D1 schools. Don't make it out to be a big upset by Slippery Rock. Michigan should roll over them easily.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:54 AM ^
Slippery Rock isn't an exhibition game?
November 5th, 2012 at 8:56 AM ^
Nope.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
It's not an exhibition for Michigan, but it is for Slippery Rock.

Michigan will win 105-51
November 5th, 2012 at 9:32 AM ^
Looking forward to being there and enjoying the new arena with my 11 year old son! The transformation is unreal. Went to last week's game with my 8 year old daughter..."Daddy, it's like The Palace, but nicer."

This one is available via Big Ten Digital as well and will be streamed. According to MGoBlue, the first televised game for us is next Monday versus IUPUI on ESPNU.
As for a prediction, I will go with Michigan 85, Saginaw Valley 48. I went back through our history with them and adjusted the average score based on the performance against NMU, so it was totally scientific.

So can I watch this for free on the mgoblue website?
November 5th, 2012 at 12:45 PM ^
If you go to this page, it says "premium" for the game, which means you have to be an All Access subscriber.

If this was bowling, in which SVSU has won four national championships, the last in 2007, SVSU would have a chance. Tonight, they might as well be dribbling a bowling ball.

Bartelstein with the 3 at the buzzer. Teams combine to shoot 1-for-104
November 5th, 2012 at 11:32 AM ^
I grew up in the 'Naw and the first college hoops game I ever attended was Sagainaw Valley State College vs. Grand Valley State. So, I think it's neat that they get to play an exhibition game at Crisler.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
Slippery Rock has the next game penciled in as an exhibition game. They won't be keeeping score. Everyone wins, right folks.
November 5th, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
OMFG it's a pre-season game, people. Michigan will, of course, destroy their opponent. Just wait for the REGULAR season to commence.
November 5th, 2012 at 1:19 PM ^
91 to 57 Michigan big.
November 5th, 2012 at 1:27 PM ^
Michigan 88 SVSU 55. Burke and McGary with double doubles.
November 5th, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
I don't know about McGary, I think he needs a bit more work, he'll get their though.
November 5th, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
87-48 Michigan
Go Blue!
November 5th, 2012 at 3:28 PM ^
I predict that a bunch of people are going to show up with their Groupon tickets that say 7:30 pm and be pissed off that the game started at 7.
November 5th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
Any chance for another stream link?
November 5th, 2012 at 6:42 PM ^
I actually attend Saginaw Valley State. This game will not be close. SVSU is a bad team even in the GLIAC.
90-40 at best, imo.
