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.

The announcers have more impact on the game. He always seems out of place, and his d just seems so good because every aspect is that bad. And my god for a senior you'd think he'd have found his way to the weight room atleast a couple times.

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.

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.

I understand he is struggling, but don't single him out and bash the kid. He is playing bc Coach B knows he can help this team to win games. It's fine to criticize his play, but we don't need you to belittle one of our own.

we're going to need him to step up at some point this season. Vogrich is a senior who has put a lot of time in.
Freshmen are still freshmen and may not have the correct mindset early on in the big moments.

Those would be Christmas lights.

I am excited to win another big ten title this season.

Timmay is ice cold..starting to force shots a la last year.

That was a real good job by Horford.

I am being hypnotized by the Big Ten Network's' flickering half court camera. It does not matter which TV I watch on. It keeps following me.
I am getting sleepy . . . I am getting sleepy . . . Go Green . . . Go White . . .
December 4th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
nice give and go Timmy to JM
I feel bad for Vogrich, senior and all but he struggles and we have more talented guys
and this team just seems like they're still very early in the meshing stage, obviously, and it's going to be a beautiful thing when they really start to click
December 4th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
I was going to switch TVs, but I'm on MGoBlog and well, I don't care.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
Seems like Trey is forcing more dumb shots this year.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
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.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
hasn't made a 3 yet...

Foot. Please go on pedal. Please stay there for the rest of game.
Thanks.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
is a coach in the making it looks like
December 4th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
Caris!
December 4th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
Levert! And good job by Burke kicking it back to him.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
And that's exactly what I mean about shot selection...in the early games, Burke chucks up at 26 foot 3 for no reason.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
Yeah I was worried about him throwing up something there.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
December 4th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
Big shot! Anyone know why he wasn't playing early on? Injury?
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^

What the hell is that sound in the BTN feed? It's pulsing and is annoying as hell.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Wow Canadian Bacon!
December 4th, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
automatic for 3.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
lol there's stauskas
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Stauskas is absurdly good.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
He is, but he's still a freshman.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
And you thought he was going to miss WMU...silly you.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Pretty fly for a white guy, anyone said that yet?
December 4th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
December 4th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
He's plays at 110mph...it's a gift and a curse.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
Played everyone that we needed to play...took good shots, could've shot a little better, but not really worried about that. Just execute.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
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.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
...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.
December 4th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
welcome to Michigan. You also probably thought Brandon inge put on Matt Vogrichs jersey and threw the ball non-stop into the crowd saying 'Fuck the Tigers'.
