Michigan vs. UNLV basketball open thread

MOUSSA!

MOOSE

Holy shit Moussa. That was sick.

Diabate!!!!

Dunk of the year.

Diabate hell yah

Moussa knew what he was gonna do

Of course that goes in for them

Every shot UNLV is making is insane.

I'm getting dizzy

You might have to start reducing Houstan's minutes.

Houstan in over his head...for now anyway.  Not good for early season prognostications but...not totally shocking.

UNLv just throwing up bullshit and making it

Houstan just isn’t ready yet. 

Houstan is still too raw and I'm not sure we have better options.  

This team needs to improve in all phases quickly. It’s a very young team but something just feels off since the Buffalo game.

May have to be a little patient with Houstan. Defensively he's going to be limited this year. If he can get to "functional", that will be some pretty good progression for him. Looks like he is swimming a little bit on defense against the step up in competition. Offensively, he has all the tools, just needs to put it together and re-establish his confidence. He'll hit shots this year, he's just going through it as a freshman right now.

Moussa on the other hand.. cot' DAMN! That boy a freak.

It's his 4th game of his college career. Maybe it's not yet time to pull the plug. But that's just my .02.

No Michigan team in my memory gets rejected as much as this one 

Houstan cannot be on the floor.

Kobe wide open screaming for the ball and Houstan instead gets his shot punched. He's been underwhelming for a top 10 kid.

Hunter Diabate line up. Let’s give this lineup more time

Like Diabate's energy so far. Interesting to see that he does have a decent post up game. 

MOOSE ON FIRE

Diabate needs more minutes. If the offense doesn’t come from anyone besides Dickinson and Brooks I feel like it’s going to be a long season. 

Bufkin keeps getting wide open, I'm glad he's getting way more run.

holy fuck this game so far is FIRE

Can’t put my finger on it but we just look off. No chemistry or aggressiveness to want to score. Our offense better figure it out.  

That was a total bullshit call on Moussa. 

Not sure why this game wasn't first 

AZ and Wichita much closer than MI and they're losing the whole East Coast 

Refs how the hell is that a foul

It’s going to get rough in the Big Ten this year.

You don't need to gamble that much Jones.

Ok if Jones can do that at a 40% clip...that's a great sign.

Our guards get beat off the dribble WAY too often.

5 point swing on that bad take from Devante. Dish it to the two big men when you have numbers like that

What even is this game...

Sidenote.  Jones has a unique way of how he carries himself and shows/doesn't show emotion  I can't put my finger on a comparison.  It's just a....different persona.

Defense is just a mess in the half court 

Didn’t make it to the game in time (dinner ran late).

There is now an empty suite at T-Mobile

Angrily screaming alone in the Cosmopolitan Sportsbook now

Man, Jones is really struggling with the step up in competition.

I thought Jones was a plus defender, but he gambles a lot and he's experienced enough to know better.    Moussa looks like he will be a monster. 

I fear Caleb is another Brandon Johns 

This team is stressful to watch

Yo. this Moussa shit is insane. Can he please play every single minute? I just want to see what stuff he'll come up with. It's so fun to watch.
