MBB Open Thread: Creighton @ Michigan, 6:30 Tip on FS1
Nunez starting for Michigan, no Damien Jefferson for Creighton so we'll see if he plays.
Obviously a big game for Michigan but for the B1G as well. The conference has struggled early in the non con and Iowa was blown out at home last night by DePaul.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
Let’s Go Blue!
November 12th, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
3 things I’m looking for:
1. Brooks solidifying the role of go-to scorer.
2. DDJ to make a shot. (I think he will make bunches of them if he can get just a few to fall here early in the season).
3. Simpson under control - he seems so desperate to earn his billing that he is forcing the issue.
Go Blue. Beat the ..... Creightionators.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
Long way to go but the bigten has looked awful so far
November 12th, 2019 at 6:30 PM ^
Yup. Only notable win is probably OSU over Cinci. Lost every other notable matchup plus a lot of buy game losses/almost losses. Very 2017-2018 B1G feel.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Wow they went straight up NBA on NBC theme song early 90s.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
WIN THE GAME!!!
November 12th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
Crowd looks sparse
November 12th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
I think there's still snow in the upper-level seats they didn't have time to remove
November 12th, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
In all seriousness, there is nobody there.
Still football season and out of conference, but that is somewhat disappointing. Then again I’m not there so I can’t really complain.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
Brooks just got clobbered.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
There we go Nunez
November 12th, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
Howard putting Z on Mitchell and Nunez on Ballock seems very dumb
November 12th, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
Nunez is such a defensive liability
November 12th, 2019 at 6:40 PM ^
I’m not loving our defense, in general.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
Once we get Franz in the lineup I don’t think will see him as much
November 12th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Is it too early to start a Fire Coach Howard thread?
/s in case you were wondering
November 12th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Is Z wearing the sweatband in support of Cassius Winston? If so, a classy gesture on his part.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
No. He has worn it all year. He has gotten irritated with it and took it off in both previous games.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
He’s had one since pre season so no.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Teske occasionally dropping too low on the pick and roll defensive coverage on both 3s by Creighton. Hopefully this improves as the season goes on.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
Teske get your strength up and grab those rebounds man, you're getting bullied.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
Teske can’t get a rebound. Quit shooting the 3 also Teske.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:46 PM ^
Yea only shoot them when they go in!
/fartnoise
November 12th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
Teske is no where near close to being an NBA player. Plays so soft it hurts sometimes.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:46 PM ^
Reminds me of you
November 12th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
c'mon teske. that's four straight offensive boards you gave up to that guy.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
Fucking go away Blue Jays
Z trey bomb!!!
November 12th, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
There we go Teske great pass
November 12th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
Livers with something in his teeth it appears...
November 12th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
Teske says ENOUGH OF YOU
November 12th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
THERE WE GO TESKE
November 12th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
Holy shit, hell of a block on Castleton.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
#13 for Creighton travels every time he touches the ball
November 12th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
Pretty decent ball movement by MICH
November 12th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
I like Nunez for floor spacing, but his defense has to improve in order for us to reach our peak
November 12th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
Going to be tough, I think it's a lack of lateral agility, can't teach that
November 12th, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Duncan Robinson disagrees
November 12th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
I'm impressed so far, at least offensively. The faster tempo is fun, and Howard seems to be encouraging guys to let it fly from 3.
Livers looks so dangerous - great to see.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
Damn CC finish that
November 12th, 2019 at 6:49 PM ^
knocking down 3s at a good clip so far. we need to dominate the boards more though.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:50 PM ^
DDJ REDEMPTION TIME
November 12th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
Refs really holding off on the whistles - plenty of little stutter steps not called, and allowing some bumping.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
3 guard lineup is on the floor right now.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:52 PM ^
Huge breaking news about MLB managers of the year.
Also, our defense is a layup line.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:52 PM ^
Livers looking smooth
November 12th, 2019 at 6:52 PM ^
5 buckets at the rim. clean up that help D.
November 12th, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
Here comes DDJ!
November 12th, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
DDJ looking smooth as well
November 12th, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
Uhh DDJ step back
And Zavier gets blown by.
This game is weird
