Lets hope we're not making all our 3's today because Poole, Simpson and Matthews are all hitting them. Matthews shot at every level, 3, FT and midrange has been money today.

Every time I look at Brazdeikis, I sit there and tell myself “wow, I didn’t know Jimmy Darmody could play basketball.”

Recovered really well from taking a bullet to the head.

Spatola is growing on me. He’s mentioned that not only are we a final 4 contender...but we also should be the favorites in the B1G. Then to top it off, acknowledged Beilein is a top 5 coach. All things this fan base has known, but rarely gets said by national analyst.

Here’s the scary part about this squad...we brought in a top 15 recruiting class, and really only 1 of them is contributing. Imagine if Johns or Dejulius get it going this season.

I hope other guys look at Matthews. He is making himself a lot of money for the future by coming back this year instead of trying to squeak himself into the NBA.

Yaklich is a wizard 

This team isn’t even shooting well... just imagine when they get their shooting groove, which happens EVERY year under Belein. Yikes

The young guys at the end of looked ROUGH. I think they only scored three points in the last 4 1/2 minutes. They were also unable to box out and get solid rebounds. Way too many second chances for GW. Good thing we have an excellent coaching staff.

Wow, it was a 38 point lead and only ended up winning by 23? That’s shitty, freshman need to be able to keep a lead.
