Michigan is a 15-point KenPom and Vegas favorite. Let's keep up the good vibes. Go Blue!

I'm down!
I also dig Dug
November 17th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
I’m snug as a bug in a rug with Dug.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^

Onhockey has a good stream of the hockey game whole I have to resort to hoops on the radio
November 17th, 2023 at 8:02 PM ^
Onhockey fudged up my computer full of viruses last year during the Frozen Four
November 17th, 2023 at 7:10 PM ^
Man, this offense is potent.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:11 PM ^
I will grudgingly accept a 75% OREB rate. 😁
November 17th, 2023 at 7:10 PM ^
Hit a 24 footer, lol
November 17th, 2023 at 7:10 PM ^
I hear Michigan vs. Long Beach State and I think of the 1987 football season. We were supposed to play SMU but they got the death penalty for the 87 and 88 football seasons, leaving us to scramble and find a new opponent. Enter Long Beach State....

These announcers have yet to use the correct full pronunciation for a UM player's name. It's all "Dog McDuniel" and "Amari Barnett". Great job B1G+.
November 17th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
Are these B1G+ announcers from Ann Arbor Pioneer Radio?
November 17th, 2023 at 7:12 PM ^
This offense is something else.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:13 PM ^
A non-Iowa Big Ten trying to go this fast still feels weird.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
Ironic how Iowa is the fastest team in basketball and the slowest in football
November 17th, 2023 at 7:16 PM ^
At this rate we're scoring 200 points...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:17 PM ^
Michigan seems to shoot 24-footers better than free throws. That shouldn't be possible. 🤣
November 17th, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^
26-15, 10:45 left
November 17th, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
The ball is not moving as well as previous games. Up 32-32
November 17th, 2023 at 7:29 PM ^
LBSt hanging around
November 17th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
Up 34-29, 6:51 to go
November 17th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
34-29 Michigan at the under-8 timeout (6:53 left 1H). Michigan was up 16 early but has cooled off considerably.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
Tarris has to be stronger down low & where are his hands?!
November 17th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
They've gotten the ball to Tarris 3-4 times at the rim and he has been unable to finish...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:34 PM ^
I don't quite get how a guy jumping on your back isn't a foul but I'm not a basketball referee, apparently.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:35 PM ^
Long Beach State is long and big with some energy...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
That’s how my wife describes me
November 17th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
hey that's how your wife describes me too!
November 17th, 2023 at 7:37 PM ^
LB state with an interesting defensive adjustment playing Stroud on Dug on defense. Michigan has no other creators in this lineup and the ball is not being moved too effectively. The main flaw with Michigan's roster is not having a self-creating wing and it is rearing its head here.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
I think Nimari and Olivier have proven to be able to be decent shot creators, are they MAAR? No but they should be good enough for this team.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
It's so surprising how good the offense has been but also how bad the defense is. I would have thought this team would play much better defense.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
They're speeding us up and catching us in transition a lot. After getting it to 34-37, Michigan pushes it back up to 42-34...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
What the hell is Williams doing there? Makes the switch onto Issa and then just leaves him to park in the paint?
November 17th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
The rotations, and over helps/doubles have been a real issue on defense. They're not getting beat off the dribble that badly, but they're getting lost on ball screens, losing people on their rotations. It's a lot of mental mistakes.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Dugggggggg!
November 17th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Dug’s threes keeping us ahead. Otherwise, looking a little flat.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
Bound to happen one of these games...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:43 PM ^
Tsahonis is a bucket. Tschetter not even getting a hand up on him ...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:43 PM ^
Sahonis is on fire!
Or is it...Sabonis...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
Just no attitude/energy defensively.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:46 PM ^
48-41 at the 1:57 mark..
November 17th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
Oh no, we suck!!
November 17th, 2023 at 7:49 PM ^
Up 50-48 at the half.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
The half couldn't come fast enough LBST was coming on like gang busters. We need to make some good adjustments and come out with some fire in our bellies...
November 17th, 2023 at 7:49 PM ^
Yikes.
I am no basketball pro but it seems like teams are getting a lot of offensive rebounds on us (to my untrained eye).
November 17th, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
LBSU only has 4 offensive rebounds on 17 missed shots. They've converted those at a high clip, unfortunately, but the rebounding itself has been in Michigan's favor.
November 17th, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
That makes sense, I am at an event where I can only pay somewhat attention. I saw 3 of the 4 ORebs 🤦♂️
November 17th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
Their brains clearly turn off when they have to play defense.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
This game was 23-7 at about the 7 minute mark. LBSU has scored 41 points in the last 13 minutes of game time. That's... unbelievable.
November 17th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
A concerning amount of mental lapses defensively, Williams and Reed major culprits.
