MBB Exhibition
Michigan in control early against SVSU...Nine of 10 players who have gotten playing time have scored. I know expectations are low, but I believe Beilein will have this team steadily improving throughout the year. Looking forward to watching metrics and little crossover progress as the season wears on.

Is this game on TV at all?
November 5th, 2010 at 10:55 PM ^
can i get a starting lineup?
November 5th, 2010 at 7:45 PM ^
Sounds like a pretty erratic half of basketball
November 5th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
Requires payment - otherwise, it will be replayed on BTN sometime Sunday. I think I heard 10 AM. Not confirmed
November 5th, 2010 at 7:58 PM ^
MSU beat SVSU 84-44 so...I'm hoping we can at least win by 20.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:03 PM ^
especially their first pre-season game. I'm really hoping this team is going to learn quickly and be tough following Novak's lead. They're gonna get beat bad by some good teams, but I have a feeling they're going to end up playing like a real Beilein team.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
This is now a roster completely full of Beilein players. Should be interesting to see how the offense works without Manny and Deshawn.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
I hear ya..but SVSU is not even a good Divsion II team. A loss to them and I'd be advocating shutting down the program.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:28 PM ^
MSU lost to GVSU. Should MSU have shut down the program?
November 5th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
First of all Captain Literal..yes, I was being COMPLETELY serious, no exaggeration or sarcasm at all. Second, GVSU was loaded and had barely lost to MSU the previous year. This SVSU team just lost by 40 to MSU. Needless to say, a loss to a team MSU beat by 40 would not bode well for our prospects.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
MSU still shouldn't have lost to GVSU. Simple as that.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
It would have made me much happier today if they had.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:28 PM ^
with 8:47 to play
November 5th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Nice. I'll take it.
One thing I'll say. I think this year is going to be rough. But moving forward I'm pretty excited. 3 freshmen in the starting lineup, no seniors, only 2 juniors. With Brundidge and Burke coming, I think we'll be a really good team in a couple years.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
At least our 3-point shooting has improved: 15% this game!
November 5th, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
November 5th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
+1 to you but:
If our 3 point shooting was taught by GERG, wouldn't we score everytime??? :) I don't think he could prevent anything from scoring...
November 6th, 2010 at 2:19 AM ^
Maybe I need to get Gerg as my wingman.....
November 5th, 2010 at 11:40 PM ^
jajaja23
November 6th, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
maybe not
November 5th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
3-21 from 3 pt land with less than 2 minutes to go. Imagine what it's going to look like when a Big Ten team is playing defense.
November 5th, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
Closer than I would have liked. Not a great start. 3-21 from behind the arc w/ 58 seconds to go. Nice to see 8 points and 14 boards from Morgan. Smotrycz and Hardaway combined to go 2-13 from three. Hopefully that will improve.
November 5th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
MSU beats SVSU by 44.
UM beats SVSU by 9.
That is very representative of the upcoming season.
November 5th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
Poor shooting, but a few highlights include:
* Morgan hitting the boards - rebounding was non-existant last year. Also, Metrics filling the stat sheet in his first game in a Michigan uniform.
I think this team will shoot the ball well- good to get the exhibition in and out of the way
November 5th, 2010 at 9:06 PM ^
This is like deja vu. We spent 20+ games expecting the three point shooting to improve; alas, it never did. If it's similar this year you've got to wonder what's going on, that is a staple of Beilein's team.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
Not sure why you were negged for this. I totally agree...Except, I was already wondering what was going on!
November 5th, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
first game shooting jitters...will get better
November 5th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
Well, its a start.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:55 PM ^
I celebrate any and all forms of win from Michigan teams...
November 5th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
Looking forward to seeing this team for the first time
November 5th, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
FIRE.... someone?
November 5th, 2010 at 11:54 PM ^
Just caught the stats breakdown on mgoblue. Looks like the shooters couldn't get into a rhythm, but Morgan nearly had a double-double and Morris got to the line a lot. I like what Hardaway Jr brings to the table, but it looks like he struggled a bit today with his shot. Still, a win is a win, and I'm excited that bball is back on the menu.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:09 AM ^
We get it - the team is going to be bad this year. This will be like the 2008 football season, only for basketball.
Take your pick on who Manny and Peedi are from our 2007 football team: Henne, Hart, Long, Manningham, Arrington, etc.... It's going to be like that.
