Not great Bob
November 11th, 2016 at 9:29 PM ^
The gamecast says Mark Donnal got a rebound. I never thought those things were that accurate.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:32 PM ^
Donnal not only got a rebound, the ball went back out and a basket was scored!
November 11th, 2016 at 9:32 PM ^
We have a small lead missing three pointers. Imagine last year and it is just like that. Also Howard is bad.

21-17 Michigan with about 5 minutes to go
November 11th, 2016 at 10:31 PM ^
Wow. I'm kind of glad I didn't watch. That's just ugly.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:37 PM ^
instill a rebounding attitude on the team, especially offensive rebounding.
You know, like following up your shot pretty please with a cherry on top....

Under 5 minutes 1st half.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:39 PM ^
We're shooting 8-21 against Howard
November 11th, 2016 at 9:39 PM ^
Well the good news is ill be getting a lot of stuff done around the house this winter, because this is certainly not a must watch basketball team
November 11th, 2016 at 9:42 PM ^
It's good that we'll have a ton of good recruiting news coming.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:44 PM ^
what this good news is?
November 11th, 2016 at 9:41 PM ^
23-19 M under 4 timeout. Looking very blah on offense, but expect that to change as the game goes on. Not good overall so far.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:42 PM ^
No aggression by this offense is the biggest problem. No one that wants to attack and force them to guard us. Some aimless passing, not the well-oiled machine we've seen in the past and may see later in the season but haven't in the first game and a half.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:42 PM ^
if this mediocrity continues? I feel like this season is pivotal for JB, I hope things improve but I'm getting super tired of this.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:44 PM ^
The bad news is the guy he hired at Uconn just lost to Wagner.

and has gotten worse every year. Jim Calhoun's players?

By that logic. Gene Chizik would be a great hire for any football team because he won a championship. Playing in an easy American conference, they went to the NIT and were a bubble team since the NC.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:54 PM ^
Chizik had a losing record before taking over at Auburn and his final team had a losing. In no way are the two comparable.

when you play Navy, South Florida, Tulane, East Carolina, UCF etc. the majority of the games its hard not to have a winning record.
November 11th, 2016 at 10:02 PM ^
Your argument is really bad.

So if he plays whoever is in front of him and those teams are weak then he should win more than other coaches at bigger schools. If he goes 20-15 and 25-11 in the AAC, he would be much worse in the big ten/ACC/Big 12. Uconn is a blue blood and he inherited a number of the players from the previous coach who was a legend.
November 11th, 2016 at 10:12 PM ^
Your post is full of assumptions that conveniently fit the argument you are trying to make.

I'll spell it out for you. If Michigan football played in the MAC, then they should go 8-0 every year in that conference because they have such a big advantage over the other teams in recruiting, money, prestige etc. Uconn is the big fish in the AAC besides Memphis and maybe SMU. He should only lose at most 9 games a year depending on how hard their out of conference schedule is.
November 12th, 2016 at 7:50 AM ^
By that definition UConn most certainly does not qualify. They have played basketball since 1901 but didn't make a final four until 1999. What they have done is finish in final games winning four titles since '99. Michigan could have done the same but unfortunately went 1-3.

pigeon holed into hiring him? Also, he did win a championship didn't he?
November 11th, 2016 at 9:46 PM ^
November 11th, 2016 at 9:44 PM ^
Gotta imagine Beilein would get this year and next to give the coaching changes some time to take effect. But I don't really see things getting a whole lot better, especially since recruiting still seems to be in a lull.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:50 PM ^
We have one top 100 recruit. That kind of recruiting just won't get it done in a day and age where teams are loading up on multiple 5 star players.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:52 PM ^
UM is not going to play the games necessary to land five star kids.

November 11th, 2016 at 9:54 PM ^
We can get 5 stars without playijng games. Look at 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s Michigan basketball.

Good enough for Michigan to squeak into the tournament as a last four team in, sure. Not every program that lands 5 star kids is dirty.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:51 PM ^
I've been following M BBall since the early '70's and even before that we always recruited the top notch players from all over the country till the late '90's.
We all know what happened since that time, this is a program that was always recruiting the best of the best, not the best of the average, shit needs to change.
November 11th, 2016 at 9:55 PM ^
November 11th, 2016 at 9:56 PM ^
No but we did actaully look like we knew how to play basketball and got to the final four a number of times.
