Michigan MBB vs. ASU game thread

Howard needs Dug to be a hit because otherwise it's another year of year 1 at the most important position (in my opinion) in college basketball. Howard's made that work before, but it's not sustainable. I'm leery because Dug isn't much of a shooter and at his high that's going to be a big issue.

We don't actually recruit at their level though. They get actual future NBA stars, our 1 and done is a bench player for one of the worst in the NBA and the other is like the 14th man for the Clippers. He also seems to have issues keeping guards on the roster. We only 3.5 this year, and one is a 19 year old sophomore, a freshman and a 1st year up transfer.
I do think the team will be average, but I don't think they'll be a top 3 team in the conference, and I don't think the conference will be good. I expect maybe 5 bids from the conference this year, and I worry we'll be fighting to finish in the top 5 most of the year.

Like the compete so far from the deep bench. You can’t just let them out physical you and slap the floor and chat and not match the physical nature
November 17th, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
This is like a reverse baby seal game.

Hurley gonna leave Frankie in against our 3rd string...classy
November 17th, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
John Beilein had a myopic attention to detail. Juwan Howard recruits and gives his players more freedom but has worse rotations and nowhere near the identity or attention to detail. This is a fucking embarrassment.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:41 PM ^
He needs time
November 17th, 2022 at 11:47 PM ^
It's his 4th year, how much time do you need? These are all his players.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
This lineup looks like the island of misfit toys.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:29 PM ^
There are so many average starting PG's in America and we can't get one? It can't be that difficult to recruit 1 to Michigan can it? EMU,CMU and WMU have better starting point guard than we have.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:36 PM ^
We haven't had a scoring PG since Derrick Walton...Thats been maybe our main issue with our teams...X wasn't a scorer, none of our transfers were scores.
We need a scoring PG in today's game.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:49 PM ^
Zavier was a great PG, you don't need scoring at the 1 to be successful. You need a reliable decision maker and play maker.

Comical
November 17th, 2022 at 11:32 PM ^
Hurley carving up Michigan and Juwan again.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:32 PM ^
Hey look they finally called a goaltend.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:34 PM ^
Yay. Howard can hug all his friends. Because everyone knows him. But we still suck
November 17th, 2022 at 11:34 PM ^
Fuck Frankie. Seems like a little bitch. Seeing him get injured this year wouldn’t make me sad in the least, that’s for sure
But holy shit, this team is not good lol
November 17th, 2022 at 11:59 PM ^
Dude, what the fuck? It's not that serious! Take that fake tough guy shit outta here, and grow the fuck up!
November 18th, 2022 at 1:41 AM ^
Check it's/him/he/shims posting history. The basement is closing in!
November 17th, 2022 at 11:35 PM ^
lol that was a shitshow on so many levels
but I'm ok with the journey. Interesting to see how this team can gel. I like our young players very much. Learn. Move on.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:35 PM ^
Glad that's over

Wish the cameras caught the skirmish . Unreal. Juwan looked like he was done with it. Lol
November 17th, 2022 at 11:38 PM ^
Juwan is not JB. That's just a credit to how great JB was. Juwan will recruit better talent but I highly doubt he will develop to JBs level. Gonna be interesting when it is fully Juwans guys as he will certainly get all the time in the world. His development of the backcourt right now sans JB guys is atrocious right now.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:40 PM ^
I'm not sure he'll recruit better talent either. He'll recruit more highly ranked players, but JB dudes like Walton and Trey Burke were plenty talented.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:43 PM ^
You have it wrong, Juwan will recruit higher ranked players but Beilein recruited more talented players.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:47 PM ^
He doesn’t seem to recruit better talent. Beilein recruited a lot of NBA-caliber players.
November 18th, 2022 at 8:02 AM ^
He made them NBA-caliber players.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:51 PM ^
It is fully Juwan's guys already, Eli was the last of Beilein guys.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:40 PM ^
Hunter got too much NIL?
November 17th, 2022 at 11:40 PM ^
Only lost by 25 in the end. Way to close it out strong
/s
November 17th, 2022 at 11:40 PM ^
Wake me up mid Jan - its a team aside 2-3 all newbies and potential.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:42 PM ^
Really liked our mid-range game tonight. Wherever it was hiding. Nothing but three-balls and Hunter down low isn’t a recipe for success.
November 17th, 2022 at 11:46 PM ^
UM refuses to pay the big time players. Juwan recruiting guys in the 70s to 100s while Ishiba is lading guys in the top 20. Thats how it goes. UM is too cool to buy players.
November 18th, 2022 at 1:42 AM ^
Is this real?
November 18th, 2022 at 12:06 AM ^
Ring the bell when Juwan outbids Ishbia for a player. I was told EVERYONE will run for a NBA coach who can tell them how the pathway 3 years ago. Do you see all our top 10 players?? Can you imagine if Hunter left?
UM is luckily not transactional. Juwan keep recruiting #70-#150 which Matt smirks at. Coach B could develop those type. Juwan can't. Read the recruiting profile of Dugan - our insider was gritting his teeth. Trying to be kind.
Wish someone at UM cared about bball like Ishbia. Again look at this team with Hunter not getting $150K to sell iPhone plans and used cars.

Did Michigan have a game last night? I must have missed it, was it on late or something
