Michigan v. Villanova Basketball tonight 6:30 FS1
I think a PSA may be in order about this game. Never has a National Championship game rematch garnered less attention from a fan base than this one. I was kind of thinking there would be a preview today or something, a mention, a faint whisper, a fading memory, something, maybe?
Anyway, I get it, there is a lot of football still to be played. And frankly, if this year follows the same path as, like, every Beilein team except for that one we will lose this game in howling fashion. But it is a thing that is occurring so just a reminder to check in on it tonight. Revenge tour continues? Maybe? No?
Go Blue.

Charlie Matthews ??
November 14th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
Charles is playing his ASS off
November 14th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
Nova isn’t looking like it will repeat this year.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
This is a different style of hoops than we're used to from Coach B - but there's a lot of talent and athleticism on this team.
I'm super impressed by how the boys have played so far - keep it up!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Holy shit this is awesome
November 14th, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
Our defense is legit. Plus, we play so well off the ball on offense...crashing the boards
November 14th, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
This first half is IN SANE.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
POOLE WITH THE SHAKE 'N BAKE!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
????????
November 14th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
Well this has been enjoyable
November 14th, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
Villanova should come out in a zone in the 2nd half. We are getting good looks on every possession

I like this Z, Poole, Matthews, Iggy and Livers line up
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Seems like Iggy is the small ball center?
November 14th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Not sure, maybe Livers. I'm a moran when it comes to basketball stuff. If there isn't an obvious tall guy I have no idea who the 5 is.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
You can tell by looking at who is setting the ball screens on offense and/or who is guarding the opposing teams center.
With a small ball lineup, you're really going largely positionless and what they can do with Livers since he can guard every position and switch everything.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
Livers was in that general area that Teske is in so that is why I guessed him.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
JB likes to call it positionless basketball
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Mother of God....
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Sooo The Revenge Tour has been extended to basketball?
LOVE what I'm seeing, especially relative to other Beilein teams this early.
GO BLUE!!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Revenge Tour!!! Definitely extended.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
this is easily Beileins most athletic team at michigan
November 14th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
Stu Douglass just twitched
November 14th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
2012-2014 were pretty athletic
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Not quite too sure who this tall white guy with a skater cut is, but...Hell yeah!!!!! He can ball!!!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
I like it.
if only this was the first Monday in April
November 14th, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
Patience my friend.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Iggy is f-ing athletic!
Love the way he attacks the boards. He and Matthews are going to have a zillion offensive rebound dunks this year.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
First page of this thread hasn't aged well.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
Hilarious. As a late one to the thread it is funny how things changed when the game actually started.
November 14th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
Nope, bunch of Debbie downers looking to pile on...wrong again haters
November 14th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
Whole lot of basketball left to be played, and I know Villanova is the kind of team that can score fast, but wow. This is an insanely impressive start so far.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
It feels sooo good
November 14th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
We’re legit! Got guys at multiple positions that can take ppl off the bounce.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Add Villanova to the revenge tour!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
My friend and I drove down to Texas for the final four and what a pleasure it was to go cheer for Beilein who is a gem of a coach in all regards, I'm absolutely loving this game
November 14th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Started live streaming the game midst lecture, not expecting this type of blowout thus far. You can tell Beilein has had this game circled, these guys are cooking on both ends. Matthews and Livers have really looked good IMO.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
I can dig this Iggy at the 5 lineup for small stretches
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Our defense has absolutely confounded 'nova so far - keep up the pressure!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Wow. I was a lot more bullish on this team than many, but again, wow.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
the finger roll CM killing it!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Awesome defense. This is unbelievable. Keep it up.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Did not see this coming. We are dominating the paint. We look much more confident than Nova. Their stars look lost. KEEP IT GOING!
November 14th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
BOOM Matthews with 2 FTs.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:15 PM ^
Dang couldn't hit the next one.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Not sure how Iggy is supposed to guard that drive if they're not going to call traveling.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
traveling is now a showcase of agility
November 14th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
Villanova is not very good this year
November 14th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
Give credit where credit is due, maybe Michigan is really good?
