Don't you mean Clemson? Syracuse was last week.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
I think he's trying to change the results of the 'Cuse game, but I may be wrong.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:02 PM ^
*whistle*
November 30th, 2010 at 9:05 PM ^

Geaux_Blue might ask to have his own thread deleted. (And didn't we already have an ACC challenge open thread?)

November 30th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
at this point you're just whining. about a thread in which random guys lusted after ann hathaway no less
November 30th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
After you've spent the week "hating Michigan fans" and complaining about the value of every thread. But I'm glad you think your stupid celebrity references have more value than other ones.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:04 PM ^
was Conan that put it over the edge.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
This is my new Background :)
November 30th, 2010 at 9:04 PM ^
Let's go blue!
November 30th, 2010 at 9:09 PM ^
lets see what Michigan can do! Go Blue!
November 30th, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
novak to morgan
November 30th, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
THE Tim Hardaway Jr.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
13:19 remaining
November 30th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
I'm impressed with the way we're rebounding on the defensive end. This is the one stat (D rebound %) that I think will dictate wins/losses this year.
EDIT: Why did I say that?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
You're right they've been rebounding well... but that last possession... agh.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
It is almost like the timing is off on our rebounds. I think I just saw two rebounds roll off of Novack's hands in that one position.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
This rebounding problem.... think it's going to happen all year.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
So, this is the first time I've watched the team play, I like them. I know they are young, and are going to have growing pains, but they have the potential to be real good as they grow. It is weird too, we have big guys!
Lets go BLUE!
November 30th, 2010 at 9:25 PM ^
Gotta pad this lead. Clemson's not going to shoot 15% all game.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
i like the new adidas bball jerseys. when do they become available?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:34 PM ^
I agree. I was just looking for them but no luck yet.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
The blue uni's are very sharp looking. I think they are a definite improvement over past Adidas bball uniforms.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
"bailed out on a foul call"?
In what world was that not a foul?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
Impressive performance thus far. Gotta keep building on this lead because Clemson is missing some open looks.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
And I have to say that I kind of like what I'm seeing. I think they have some nice young pieces and players that could fit together pretty well. I like the backcourt with Hardaway Jr and Morris and Novak is certainly not spectacular but he doesnt kill you (kind of like a poor poor man's JJ Redik). Up front theyve been getting killed on the boards so they obviously need some size but I like Morgan, he actually looks like a power forward which it seems like it's been a while since Michigan has had that.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
but this team is a lot of fun to watch....definitely excited to watch these kids grow together. Go Blue.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
and playing tough on the road.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:36 PM ^
The performance thus far is even more impressive considering that Clemson is one of the most difficult road environments in the ACC.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
We are playing some great defense thus far!
EDIT: Metrics!!!
November 30th, 2010 at 9:38 PM ^
Smote does a beautiful George Gervin impression. Maybe this is our night.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:38 PM ^
Nice Evan. We are fired up or Clemson flat?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Smotrycz has been amazing so far in this game. Offensive rebounding, 3 point shooting, pump fake and drive to the basket. Very impressive.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Metrics = Gordon Hayward.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Is this a high school team we're playing?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
They are looking good right now! Im very surprised! They are going to surprise us a few times this year I'm thinking.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
Someone want to explain to me why were not excited to watch this team? I understand how young we are, but you can definitely see flashes of potential that bode well for the future. This team can make noise in the Big Ten within the next couple years.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
As they get older, they are going to be nasty. Im very excited.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
I didn't get to see the tourney this last weekend but did they play anything like this?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
In the first half against Syracuse, kind of. In the second half of that game and in the UTEP game, there was a lot less movement and a lot of bricks from downtown.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
This team plays with so much effort it's a lot of fun to watch. Definitely exceeding my preseason expectations.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
Favorite quote of the game so far:
"... and they love to do a lot of backdoor stuff, too."
November 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
The passing has greatly improved since last year. They're looking good.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
smotrycz had two shots in a row that made go WHAT? The first one was truly amazing. It was like a fake shot, fake pass, pump fake, then made the shot..... All in the air.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
jerai is a cool name.
