Michigan vs. Wayne State (exhibition) OPEN Thread
November 4th, 2013 at 8:32 PM ^
Wow really? you have a team thats mostly sophmores playing their first two games after losing two first round picks and the national player of the year at point gaurd, I think you sort of have to expect a few bumps, like playing sloppy in an exhibition game because you know you are more talented.
Also how did you fix the vlc player link to stop closing every 2 minutes, please and thank you.

I said it wasn't the jolt of excitement I was hoping for. After Saturday, another 70-point beatdown with tons of preposterous dunks would have been a nice pick-me-up.
What you said stands. They played sloppy against a team they knew they could beat.
That said: wasn't thrilled with the big men. Morgan was fine, but Horford's hands are questionable and Bielfeldt doesn't look like he should be playing unless it's an emergency.

YAAAY, another underwhelming performance by a UM team. Just what the doctor ordered after this weekend.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
might as well work on plays like it's a practice I suppose
What level is Wayne St in? Are they as good as it seems here?
November 4th, 2013 at 8:30 PM ^
November 4th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
Don't give that man the baseline
November 4th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
So many negative Nancys now.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
Are you guys serious? They are coasting to a 20+ win in an exhibition game. Exhibitions are about two things: Trying out different playing combinations and not getting anyone hurt.
You really think this game is indicative of anything that will happen during the season?
November 4th, 2013 at 8:32 PM ^
They could still win this game by 30+, lol
November 4th, 2013 at 8:30 PM ^
It's an exhibition game. It means nothing. Don't compare this to Michigan State, on Saturday, lol.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
We just got muscled on the boards.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
is playing tenacious
November 4th, 2013 at 8:35 PM ^
November 4th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
Yea, this front court is down right bad without Mitch. On the possitive side, that's really no different from last year. We all saw those results.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:33 PM ^
I miss McGary.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:33 PM ^
/s
November 4th, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
We better make sure Mitch is 100%(!!!) before he comes back. He's gonna have to play some major minutes if they want to have any sort of inside presence (offensive and defensive).
November 4th, 2013 at 8:35 PM ^
McGary does not drop that pass - I promise.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^
Morgan does either. But yeah tonight has shown that we will really miss McGary if he misses significant time.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^
It sucks Horford really hasn't improved the last couple years. I really thought he would end up being a beast by the time he left.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
his rebounding has been great in both games this year and really improved throughout last season. I think that will be big for us.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
Really? Thats actually my biggest criticism with him. He doesn't really box out. It seems like he tries to just out jump the defenders, and it's not like hes a high flyer.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^

November 4th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
65-48
November 4th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
His shot is inconsistent...he never goes up and comes down the same, you can almost call when he's going to make it just by his release.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
saw the same thing. But when his shot looks pretty, it looks mighty pretty.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
1 play per half, lol...both for dunk/layups
November 4th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
November 4th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
"Get that salami outta here!"
November 4th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
lol, what was also funny was the 15 second pause afterwards.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
God, you're right. You know he was practicing that for days in his dorm room.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
SLOOOOPPPPYYYY
November 4th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
November 4th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
November 4th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
It's times like this I think you have to put Spike and Morgan in the game. They're the two guys you can rely on for smart/consistent play.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
at the basket better boys
November 4th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
The back court appears to be pretty good.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:44 PM ^
Fuck Luke Hancock.

2 minutes left
November 4th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
Gets owned on the boards and then gives up a foul...
November 4th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
For the person in the Concordia thread that wanted to argue with me.
It's going to happen. They actually played together more vs. Concordia.
November 4th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
I think it's really important that we win by at least 20!
November 4th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
OK, just kidding.
