Michigan vs Hillsdale Open Thread
November 15th, 2014 at 1:47 PM ^
Spike and Levert just announced as this season's captains. Good for them! Can't wait to see them step up and lead the team this year.
November 15th, 2014 at 1:49 PM ^
Anyone know the ESPN 3 channel for XFinity? I hate watching on my computer.
November 15th, 2014 at 1:50 PM ^
Can anyone explain why this is okay and playing MAC schools in football is not?

it's not listed on firstrow, is it?
November 15th, 2014 at 2:25 PM ^
Yeah I thought it would be.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
The ESPN stream is free
November 15th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
Just learned that if you have Directv, I can't stream it on my phone/Ipad
November 15th, 2014 at 2:21 PM ^
November 15th, 2014 at 2:12 PM ^
I don't even pay for cable, but I can watch this one on line.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
Don't you have to login with your cable provider info? Because it keeps asking me for it, and I have DirecTV, which isn't an option.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
It isn't asking me to login in... don't know what's up on your end
November 15th, 2014 at 2:24 PM ^
Who is your ISP? ESPN3 isn't free, it's "free" if your ISP pays a per-subscriber fee to ESPN (and then of course those fees get passed on to the subscribers). Those ISPs then get directly into ESPN3. Some cable companies also pay the fees, so if your ISP doesn't pay you can use your cable login to get access. DirecTV doesn't pay that, but IIRC Comast does.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:29 PM ^
and my internet is via Verizon (my phone company). I can't watch the ESPN varieties that are on cable, but ESPN3 is free.
Of course, Michigan's games are usually on the ones you have to pay for.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
Verizon FiOS is listed on the login page, so that's probably the reason you don't have to log in.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:39 PM ^
I've got cheapie Verizon on cheapie computer. Not for TV at all. I've got (gasp) HD antenna!
Strange that sometimes it's an advantage.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:25 PM ^
But today I did have to try twice to get to the ESPN3 streaming menu. When going to www.espn3.com it takes you to Espn.go.com, and when I clicked for MBBall I got a gametracker with audio. But the second time I got ESPN3's menu.
Don't know if it'll work directly, but here's the URL showing on the streaming window:

Works on my PC, just not through the app on a device, if you have Directv

If dude ever cools off for Hillsdale, we'll be fine.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:12 PM ^
is have a "Spike" start.

Too many straight line drives.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:26 PM ^
Hillsdale seems unable to miss right now.
Dawkins looking good right now.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
Agreed. Dawkins looks super athletic, extremely quick and can jump. Going to be a big time player by his second year
November 15th, 2014 at 2:26 PM ^
Hillsdale's offense is actually quite impressive for a D-II team. Michigan D hasn't been very good though.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:26 PM ^
working stream if espn3 is not working
November 15th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
Seems like some growing pains. Not surprising, just hope we can work through them
November 15th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
I'd assume Hillsdale will cool off at some point, but we have to close out on these shooters. They're executing their offense pretty well. Gotta disrupt a little more.

I know redshirting in basketball has some complex rules, and I don't know them. But I am thinking chatman, dawkins, wilson, and doyle will not be redshirted .
Chatman had a paraticularly impressive play so far (steal + coast to coast and 1)
November 15th, 2014 at 2:34 PM ^
Especially if you area team like Michigan that seems to have a rash of draftees, you can't think about redshirting high-end recruits. In a perfect world Michigan would have a couple of those guys sit out a year, but given the depth and the lack of options, it probably won't happen.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:31 PM ^
November 15th, 2014 at 2:32 PM ^
As a counter to the concerns out there, Hillsdale seems to be a decent little team, and UM typically doesn't blow even these early-season teams out.
They're learning out there, but the effort is fine and the defense is picking it up a bit.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:36 PM ^
Well, if the opponent is taking care of the basketball, sharing it well and hitting the open shots when they're there, they're going to stay in the game even when the athletes can't match up. The one burst we've had came when Hillsdale started getting sloppy with the passes. But anyone that shoots well is going to stick around with any team.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:34 PM ^
If you guys were wondering, Michigan still has shooters
November 15th, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
Nice to see the D turn up the pressure up top, because Hillsdale still seems to be hitting everything that is remotely open.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
Pretty typical November game. The underdog comes out with a ton of fire and hangs around awhile while the favorite sleepwalks a bit but then gets it in gear.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:36 PM ^
Is Michigan again the youngest team in the B1G? And where do we rank in the country?
November 15th, 2014 at 2:37 PM ^
This announcer just said that fabulous five won the national championship.
Not quite buddy, not quite.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:39 PM ^
Seems like Hillsdale has some guys that can shoot. The defense is definitely a work in progress. They are showing they have the athletic and talent advantage.
November 15th, 2014 at 2:42 PM ^
This team can score in bunches.... should be near 50 at halftime despite being disjointed at the start offensively.
