Michigan Basketball to host CMU on November 13
First time since 2012-13 (which Michigan won 88-73).

My poor heart :(
My alma vs my favorite sporting team.
why the hell is Central your favorite sports team?

Pretty sure Michigan doesn't play Alma this year.
Brent Hibbitts' older brother Blake just graduated from CMU. We narrowly avoided a Hibbitts showdown.
...Such a hard Hibbits to break
Would have been bigger than the much hyped Clegane Bowl
Janeau Joubert, plays for CMU

RPI-wise these are the kinds of games we should be scheduling in the non-conference. 150-175ish RPI teams instead of 300+ ones.
Only bad things can come from playing the 300+ RPI type teams. Lose-Lose situation for M.
As a CMU alum I have mixed emotions...praying for a tie!
Yeah, felt slightly torn when they announced we are playing unc this year, first time in a major sport since I graduated from UNC. Definitely pulling for Michigan though.
Oops, meant in response to the two cmu grads
It's a win win situation for us though.
Double trouble
Fire up chips
and certainly remember the days of Chris Kaman, Dan Majerle - and even Melvin McGlaughlin and Ben Poquette - fondly. BUT with no Marcus Keene - this one is all Michigan!
Great that they are hosting CMU again.
Don't forget Chad Pleiness!
Dropped 29 against Creighton in 2003 NCAA tournament. Ran like he had no flexibility in his spine, literally straight as a board.
Also had Kaman.
That's the second time in the last week an alum from my high school (Mason County Central) has been mentioned on this board, after Maynard Keenan last week. Chad was first team all state in football, basketball, and baseball, and got drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays. Not too shabby.
To root for your alma in a situation like basketball, where a non-conference loss wouldn't be all that catastrophic. Compare that to football when I was at the Michigan v CMU game (had a lightning storm delay), a CMU victory for all intents and purposes ends the season outside of the conference.
Carnegie Mellon. Good school.
I am a CMU alum but will be rooting for UM 100%. As a AA native my first love is UM and will root for CMU when they are not playing Michigan.
Does it bug anybody else that it seems like we find out our schedule first from our opponents? Why does it take so long to get the OOC schedule up?
Back on the schedule.
Not Furman. That type of game just hurts RPI. CMU is a legit team, but should still be an easy W
