College Hoops Thread
Figured I would try to start a thread about a sport where our favorite team actually has a chance to succeed this year.
Kentucky was beaten today by the Richmond Spiders. I love how Juwan is getting surefire one and done players but also dipping into the 2-3 year top 100 talent as well. UK replaces their roster every year and it shows.
Ohio State was taken to the last 3 minutes today as well. I didnt think they looked that good to be honest.
Villanova lost last night to Virginia Tech.
I think its gonna be a wide open year this year. The lack of crowds at home arenas makes a lot of difference and eliminates the home environment advantage. The NCAA tournament will be interesting of they play in one city and no fans.
Any thoughts on these topics, today's starting lineup or anything else that doesn't involve another redundant hot take about Michigan football would be appreciated.

Come on! Oakland has looked like a dumpster fire their first three games. Stop looking so competitive against us.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:40 PM ^
Austin Davis has bricks for hands today.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
Need to create their own energy.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:42 PM ^
HOLY FUCK. SOMEBODY GRAB THE FUCKING BALL
November 29th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
They're trying. Shit happens with the ball. Oakland wants it too
November 29th, 2020 at 6:42 PM ^
This team trailed Xavier at the half 53-12 and Toledo 43-20. What the fuck?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
Xavier beat these guys by 50. We are struggling with them. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers, killing us.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
So many turnovers on O....it's a good thing Oakland can't shoot
Gonna struggle against anyone with 10 TOs in 15 minutes
November 29th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
10 turnovers in the first 15 minutes of the game against one of the worst teams in basketball is pathetic.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
Jesus. We are not good tonight. I think we have 2 points in the past 7 minutes
November 29th, 2020 at 6:44 PM ^
Little sloppy on both sides.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:45 PM ^
A bad team suddenly looks good against Michigan?! You don’t say?!!!
November 29th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Really sloppy today. I would take a timeout.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:48 PM ^
yep, started pretty sharp, but way too careless with the ball in this stretch to close out the half. Good coaching moment for sure.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Football: We’re the biggest embarrassment to the university.
Hockey: Hold our skates.
Basketball: Hold our sneakers.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
take it easy ham-bone
November 29th, 2020 at 7:01 PM ^
You were saying?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:47 PM ^
Why is Smith not playing more? Brooks is awful at passing, he is not a PG.
Team is way too careless with the ball, I miss that about Beilein, I hope Juwan puts an emphasis on it.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:47 PM ^
Is this our football team trying to play basketball? They just keep throwing terrible passes that turn into turnovers.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:48 PM ^
We look absolutely terrible. Austin Davis has been bad on the boards and on defense. Hopefully Smith settles them down on offense, but it's crazy that Xavier bombed these guys away and we can't figure out how to pass around the zone. Franz has been very disappointing too.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
This is not a top-25 team.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
We fucking suck. Holy shit. This team has barely practiced together and are embarrassing us
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Did Livers say “Don’t try me coach”
November 29th, 2020 at 7:02 PM ^
Kids these days.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Outhustled, Outworked.
Somewhat embarrassing considering how bad Oakland has been drummed.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Get Austin Davis out.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Again, this team trailed Xavier 53-12 at halftime and Toledo 43-20. They lost to Xavier by OVER 50! They have barely practiced. AND THEY ARE TIED WITH MICHIGAN. What the absolute fuck.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Grab the GD ball!
November 29th, 2020 at 6:51 PM ^
Oakland getting all the loose balls. That tells you who wants it more.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:58 PM ^
Oh stop. The balls are called 50-50 for a reason. They're just bouncing oddly and Oakland is getting the better hand on some of them.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:51 PM ^
May want to pump the brakes on Juwan. Team looks like shit. Is this loss worse than the NJIT loss?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
Pearson too. What exactly has either done so far besides recruit?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:51 PM ^
pressing a little bit too much to close out the half here. Just slow the kids down a little bit and get back to crisp ball movement and find the open shot.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Just like in football, our opponent looks like complete crap against EVERYONE else but then get their act together when playing us. I’m so tired of this rerun.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Oakland is so bad. Draw your own conclusions about the team tied with them
November 29th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
Oakland is a well-coached team that makes up for lack of talent in some respects.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
Yeah this is a weird year for them to be thris bad but talent/coaching ratio is polar opposite of UM. Don't care what the detroit papers say, Juwan is nothing special.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
As smooth as we looked at times last game, it looks like we are forcing everything and can't catch the ball at all.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
4 points in 8 minutes.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Why does every 0-3 team play their best against us?
Livers needs to STFU and listen to his coach.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
After yesterday, and this evening, how are we feeling about Michigan athletics?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
I was looking forward to this game. Now I’m ready to switch it to a nfl game.frustrating
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
This is 2 games worth of TOs on a Beilein team.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
One thing that is confusing to me - man to man but no help side d - no steering just straight up
Normally there are a couple of principles in play for help side and I’m not seeing any.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
This is just so embarrassing
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
Are we going to turn the ball over 30x to Oakland?
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
15 turnovers in a single half of ball against this shit team. What a joke.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
Wagner is a huge disappointment
November 29th, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
Wagner has gone backwards in his game. Is the scheme? Does he not focus hard enough? Idk. He looks lost at times.
November 29th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
Franz is not great in half court sets - he’s a transition guy and a slasher of sorts.
Gets a lot of points getting to rim, picking up garbage, etc. IMO
