Tipoff at 9pm on ESPNU. Waiting for Temple vs Villanova to wrap up but is a great game so far. GO BLUE!

I think after 3 seasons, and the start of this season, Howard is just bad at rotations and line ups and always will be. It's like how Harbaugh is bad at time management, it's just a weird thing they can't figure out. He puts too many starters on the bench at once, instead of cycling people in and out more.

What I don’t understand is Howard plays his first team entirely for about 8 minutes and then does a total switch to all new people playing together. How about rotating some in there after 4-5 minutes that way there are experienced players out there all the time? His mass switch lineups aren’t going so well

I'm rooting for Bates. He made this game a lot more fun to watch. He has gone from #1 prospect to underdog. I liked his youthful enthusiasm and on-court personality.

This was actually a perfect game - competitive, good story lines, see-saw battle, high scoring, intense, and Michigan gets the win in the end.

Hope EMU goes on to have a great season.

I think the board consensus is that either Hunter or Jett needs to be on the floor every minute. To do that, Coach Howard will have to be more strategic with his rotations. Don't wait until the under 12 timeout to make a substitution.
