An upvote for the Cameo reference
December 8th, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
You know what's great about the band Cameo? It's that they had only that one hit, meaning they had a "cameo appearance" with stardom.
December 8th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
I think they'd benefit from Beilein's coaching
December 8th, 2018 at 4:24 PM ^
“Is Cherry Coke!”
Am I doing that right?
December 8th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
Am I the only person that both remembers and likes Arsenio Hall’s alter ego, Chunky A, that sampled Cameo’s song Word up? The song was called “Owww!”
December 8th, 2018 at 3:33 PM ^
Good to get the win. Teachable moments for the team. Hope to develop a backup center by March.
Otherwise this team seems to continue to be developing. Very good start to the season obviously. They can still improve which is a scary thought.
December 8th, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Yeah, I hate to call out players who are trying their best, bust clear drop off when Austin Davis is in. Hoping Castleton can hurry up and enter the lineup soon.
December 8th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
Say it with me now:
”It’s Great to Be a Michigan Wolverine!”
December 8th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
Bang! Not our sharpest performance but a great team win nonetheless.
December 8th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
Everyone is getting jiggy with it!
December 8th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
Or getting Iggy with it:
December 8th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
Time to play Johns in the next couple games!
December 8th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Just as important to play Davis as they both need more development.
we should expect to get everyone’s best shot for the rest of the season.
December 8th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
Davis is a hot mess so far. There's a large drop off both on O and D when he replaces Teske.
December 8th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
But in between, he gets up and down the floor quickly.
(Glass half-full kind of guy)
December 8th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
It will happen when it happens.
December 8th, 2018 at 3:43 PM ^
Won comfortably on an off day against a team that played hard - excellent!
December 8th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Most exciting start to a season since the Fab 5
December 8th, 2018 at 3:48 PM ^
2013?
December 8th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
10-0 in football would be ten times as satisfying.
December 8th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
User name checks out - as would "Master of the Obvious"...
December 8th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
Well yeah I mean this is like football being 4-0.
December 8th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
Yes. Going undefeated for the vast majority of the season is better than going undefeated for the very start.
December 8th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
That feels like a huge insult to this basketball team.
December 8th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Exactly. I think other than our 16-0 start in 2012-2013 season, this may be our best start in program history. I could be off by a game or two... but we have better wins this year than the 2012 team had.
If people arent basketball fans, or just want to sit in their football misery for 9 months, then GTFO of these threads and let the rest of us basketball fans enjoy the season.
December 8th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Knowing that we would still lose to OSU would take any satisfaction out of a 10-0 start.
December 8th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
well we were 10-1...
December 8th, 2018 at 3:48 PM ^
Woot!
December 8th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Dis guy is da bomb - puttin em up and knockin em down...
December 8th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
Love the Poole party theme too
December 8th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
10-0!!!!! Go Blue!!!!!
December 8th, 2018 at 3:56 PM ^
Season high pts given up is a bit misleading
SC had 75 possessions and avg 1.08 ppp, which is decent defense.
Normal game yields about 60 possessions, so not too worried. SC game plan was pretty solid- attacking in isolation and forcing M to play 1on1 with not much help available.
December 8th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
December 8th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
Where do you see 75 possessions? KenPom has 71 possessions, which matches the box score. Even if you were correct, 1.08 ppp is not "decent defense" -- it's well below average defense, especially against a team that came in with a 104 ORtg. Heck, this is the first time this year Michigan has allowed over 1 ppp.
Also, Michigan hasn't played a game as slow as 60 possessions this season. The slowest was Northwestern, with 61. Their adjusted tempo is 66 on KenPom; 64-66 seems about right.
This was definitely the worst game Michigan has played defensively; no ifs, ands, or buts.
I'm not losing any sleep over it, but call it what it is.
December 8th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Agree that it was the worst game so far. A lot of turnovers on offense which led to easy buckets. The team dropped a spot on Kenpom because the game was a lot closer than expected, but it’s still nice to be 10-0.
December 9th, 2018 at 7:36 AM ^
16 turnovers, an uptick in tempo and shooting well = more possessions. And sometimes stats flat out lie...this game, from what I have seen, can be argued in any direction one wishes to take it.
December 8th, 2018 at 3:57 PM ^
Hail!
December 8th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
Well done!!!
December 8th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
We have one hell of a coach!
December 8th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
I’d be merely satisfied with 8-2 at this point with 1-2 against Nova, UNC and Purdue. But 10-0.... Hoooochie Mommma!!!!!
December 8th, 2018 at 4:07 PM ^
I predicted a win today. actually it was easy
December 8th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
Good dub and good experience playing vs that style!
