Michigan Basketball vs. Central Open Thread

Levert. My man.

The decision to not redshirt LeVert looks better and better everyday. He'd be good enough to start on most Michigan teams.

Listening to a cmu feed. Announcers are bitching about lack of fouls on Michigan. This is painful to hear. These guys are horrible.

You can see LeVert getting confidence. It looks like we're getting a glimpse of what he's been showcasing in practices. On the negative side, I've followed Stauskus on defense a few times and he's looked very lackadaisical... probably why he just got yanked after that foul.

The way Levert is playing, just this freshman class could possibly make the tourney if they were the starters.

WOW.  That was quite the move by GRIII

Robinson just makes it look so easy. He makes himself available and finishes. Always where he needs to be.

Lavert, wait till he matures, man he's got some game

Lavert looking serious out here. I'm impressed with his attributes.

Is looking real good on those cuts and I think they've hit him almost every time.

must be so tough for him to not be able to play

I hadn't been paying attention to CMU this season either. For anyone interested, CMU is 7-5 with double digit losses to Iowa, Utah, Charlotte, Bradley and Nebraska. Most impressive win, if you can call it that, is a 92-80 win over Texas State.

No three-point attempts out of Stauskas in the first half is an interesting stat.  Guys look good tonight, LeVert obviously making a statement.  Trey has 17 points and that is something I would not have known if not keeping track i.e. a quiet 17!  Wish GRIII would hit more of those open 3-point looks he gets.

Enjoy Burke while he is here. A man amongst boys. Other than Akune being Akune and Staukas being sleepy, it's hard to find much to complain about in the first half. McGary got away with a foul or two, but still cant remember a UM team that didn't turn the ball over, or foul as little as this team does.

100 pts tonight, we'll at least get close

The more I watch this team, the more it reminds me of how much I missed us being a top ten team every year, or most years.

Wow, 4 dimes for Caris. Nice.

Obvious caveat that we're playing CMU..... but I watched Duke (#1) and Louisville (#3) today and I feel we're on a different level than those teams. They're both probably better defensively but overall they don't really compare. Am I a huge homer for thinking this?

there we go.  

Sweet

Morning Nik! Forcast.......Rain!

I'm ready for the Big Ten to start. Clubbing baby seals is getting a bit boring.

Canadian Bacon Baby!

And Stauskas with 3 treys to start the 2nd half. So many weapons

I love watching GRIII dunk

This team is special when they play unselfish.

GR3 has like 9 dunks.

That baseline drive play is sweet

When he says even though guys miss a shot, they still keep their defensive hat on and there were 2 examples recently.

Those are the things I love about a Beilein coached team

GR3 is bammin' on people today. Fresh legs after that week off apparently. Nik is warmed up. I wish the defensive intensity would get back up though. Hopefully McGary will spark it with this sub.
