I'm really stunned at how they look right now. They can play with anybody. It's still very early though, but I love what I have seen. GO BLUE!!! 1
Mark Vader Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Michigan escaped last night in Evanston, 62-60. Northwestern always gives the Wolverines fits, especially when the Wildcats are the home team. Brazdeikis stepped up and had a big game, and the Wolverines are 8-0 heading back to non-conference play.
Another Fan Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Very happy for Seton Hall right now. They just had a nice upset win over Kentucky in overtime!
Mark Vader Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Michigan had their hands full again, this time with South Carolina, but they got the win, 89-78. The Wolverines offense was the story today instead of their defense. They have been shooting more and more 3 pointers and are looking a lot like the type of offense that John Beilein uses. This was the start of a 6 game home stand for Michigan.

Not sure I trust anyone but Simpson at point.
Augie Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like a rough year for the Big East. Hoping they peak when March comes around.

And UK shouldn’t have even made it to overtime, really. That shot to beat the buzzer was ridiculous. How does Kentucky get beat by Seton Hall...at home?! Love college basketball!!

Yeah, they were a bit sloppy, and they are a better team when Simpson is out there. I do believe that they will get stronger as the season goes on, and they can be better whenever Simpson is on the bench. It would be great if Eli Brooks can be just as good. I am most impressed with how Jon Teske has stepped up.

row_33 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 It’s the first day off of two weeks, lots of college hoops to veg and unwind and gear up for family visits quintuple header today on the Big Ten Network to ease the pain last night—- no Bulls on TV, but Oakland’s power forward Xavier Hill-Mais put on a one-man show at East Lansing to give Sparty some fits, he should make some $$$ somewhere after this gig ends
Augie Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 WOW! Boston College just beats DePaul thanks to a knee jerk whistle. BC stole the ball (sloppy pass) and was going in for a dunk to take their first lead of the game. An amazing block from behind got the whistle, but I really don’t think he ever even TOUCHED the shooter. What a great play, and then.....the refs. Made the FT’s won, the game. They showed it several times, and even the commentators were all “no foul there”. To make it worse? They went to the replay to see if it was a flagrant (it happened pretty fast), then had to realize there was no contact at all. BUT - they had already blown the whistle. Basketball seems to be the most difficult sport to ref. It can suck at times.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 What happened to UNC?? I had them penciled into my final 4! Didn’t Kentucky just lose to Seton Hall at home last week? Man...bad loss for UNC at home. Bummer.
row_33 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 ACC opener, Irish showed up with 7 players and gave a decent Run at Va Tech for 33 miniutes Blackshear and Hill led the Hokies
row_33 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) ———— home Terps best ranked Nebraska in the last seconds. Big man Fernando could have gone pro, not quite at the level DeAndre Ayton showed last season. Edited January 3, 2019 by row_33
Mark Vader Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 After victories over Western Michigan, Air Force, Binghamton & Penn State...Michigan went to 15-0 on the season after beating Indiana yesterday. I'm still a bit surprised that the Wolverines are ranked #2 in the nation, they have played some sloppy ball at times on offense, it's just that they play so good on defense and they have beaten a lot of lesser teams lately. That being said, they have beaten every ranked opponent they have faced convincingly, and their teamwork is at such a high level. John Beilein has this team prepared and focused. They will have more big games in the future with Wisconsin, Iowa & Ohio State, but in a strange scheduling quirk they do not face Michigan State until the end of February.

Nevada got a reality check when they got beaten up by New Mexico. Despite that, I highly doubt the NCAA would give them a #1 or #2, no matter how good they finish.

They lost by nearly 30 to the Lobos. Florida State lost to Virginia and fell by the same amount of spots in the rankings. That's wrong.
