this is looking good so far. Happy to see the effort is high after the last game. All the young kids stepping up. Will this team end up as the best defense of Beilein era? Feels that way to me

Wasn't there some talk of scheduling some Horizon league or similar teams for OOC games for that week? I assume they would do it if the B1G schools paid them enough.

Would NCAA rules allow B1G teams to play exhibitions/scrimmage/combined practices? I assume it would be better than sitting for a week and a half.

If they can make some improvements defensively, I think this team could be really good. I don't know if its rational but I wish Donlan was still here.

Great first half by two true freshman. I didn’t expect Brooks and Poole to develop this quickly. Teske also did well. Encouraging.

Should of never tried to develop any other aspect of his game. Should of just focused on coming off the bench and being a sniper. He’s regressed since he’s been here.

They gave the #1 team all they could handle last game. And after a slow start they have been solid scoring down low. Really encouraged because we're getting really good shots in the flow of the offense. Once Robinson finds his stroke this offense will really flow.

Z and Ibi need to get way better before they get significant time, right now the rotation needs to be:

- PG Brooks and very little Z and Simmons with Rahk playing some PG with Poole at SG

- SG needs to be Rahk with a lot of Poole time

- SF Matthews with Poole spelling him

- PF  DRob with a significant amount of time for Livers 

- C MO with a good amount of time for Nasty Teske

That's a solid rotation of 8 guys with 2 or 3 other guys getting some minutes depending on how they're playing in any particular game.

Duncan continuing to struggle and Livers has missed open shots and turned it over on offense. The 4 is a huge weak spot on this team right now.
