Game Thread: Michigan v. Minnesota

Oh how I hate Ohio State…they must have a lucky horseshoe up there asses to get a game winner while having stepped out of bounds. Poor Rutgers. 

I’d like to see Hunter go back down low this half, not sure why he started coming out so far when we struggle with the hard hedge. The ball movement is better when he’s down lower and we spread it out. 

I liked Juwan going deep on the bench, they gave us some really good minutes. If this team is going to make a run Baker is going to need to contribute and would love to see Khayat get some minutes, got a good stroke and he plays hard.

So Dug has hit more shots than expected and he has good rhythm and rotation and more importantly no fear, My issue with Llewelyn was the tentative nature of his game. Bufkin last year was very tentative, but getting better this year. I’m hoping Dug can bring out the confidence in Kobe and others despite his current limitations . We will see as scouting catches up

So Dug decided to become Trae Young - I’m down with it

Nice split by Kobe!

DUG MCDANIEL!?!? 

He fast.

2nd half starting like the first half. Solid shooting and stifling defense.

After the TWill foul, this has been a stellar start for Michigan and Dug. 

Ugh why do we keep recruiting PGs who can’t shoot??

Has Llewellyn hit 3 threes in a game this year?  

Dug “the Answer” McDaniel

So...  we have a point guard?

Williams has some ugly misses. Dug looks great though.

Perimeter defense has been a lot better tonight.

Dug does remind me a little of A.I. (I know, I know) and a little of Earl Boykins.

I think a lot of fans will be surprised by his hops if he Ever gets a chance. I've seen him throw down some really nice dunks during warm-ups at home games. Kids an athlete.

Hunter is a cheat code 

I don’t see how Williams plays so many more minutes than Baker. 

Jett’s defense is not good 

My memory isn’t as good as it used to be but I think Bufkin reminds me a bit of Lester Abrams, a guy who I thought was very underrated.  Both lefties with some length.  Good hands on defense.

Just keep matching them bucket for bucket!

Who said Dug was too small to be an effective B1G guard? 🤔

Keep that ball movin!

I've been a high school basketball coach for over a decade, and I can't explain all the reasons but my eyes tell me that I LOVE DUG running this team. There are many intangibles about his play. I feel so confident in the consistency of his pace of play, his awareness of spacing, his desire/ability to get others involved, and of course his defensive quickness. He adds a dimension that Jaelin just didn't show. I have the feeling that Jaelin would have found his rhythm with this team if he hadn't gotten inured, but Dug already has it.

True, this is his best game easily, but I think this kid has what it takes. 

Damn, that was kind of impressive, Dug!

Coming out party for Dug.

Dug is FIRST TEAM ALL B1G I don't even care

Nasir McDaniel…DONT DO ‘EM LIKE THAT!!!!!!

Damn Dug!!!

Oh my god he split the ball screen hedge. This kid is playing legit 

Jett has so much more to his game but he’s becoming a chucker 

Hated to see JLew get hurt, but it seems like Dugs upside is just so much better. Same with Frankie and Jones last year. I just don’t get it. We will see how the season plays out though.

Dug creates assists, he doesn't just find the open man - he makes that man open

He also has 3 steals tonight lol LFG

Big Will comes into the game and the fouls just seem to find him. LOL

People love fouling Jett on threes

First start for Dug *could not have gone better*

MVP of the game and it wasn't close
