Michigan Basketball

Figured I would just go ahead and start a new thread for this season, there are enough Michigan fans on here to do so.


The basketball program continues to keep shooting up. Here a couple pieces of good news for the program.

I was thinking about going down to the Old Spice classic. $120 bucks for what should be 12 quality games is pretty damned good and the hotels down there are dirt cheap. But in the end i'm too lazy.

Sucks we dont play in Chambana this year.

Could make some noise in the Old Spice Classic. Tough 1st round match-up with Creighton though. Would love to see the Big Ten tittle be up for grabs come March 6th at Michigan State.

I'll take 2 out of 4 here, but would love 3 out of 4:
Home - BC and UCONN
Away - Utah and Kansas

Can`t wait for Saturday night at 7 UM opens on the Big Ten Network.

I can`t remember the last time I have been this excited about a basketball season. If this team stays healthy and Morris can run the show then I think this team can make a nice run come Tournament time. Should have a little more depth this year, which will be nice. The Big 10 will be pretty good this season.



Mods: Can you put this in the Team thread please.

Less than 4 hours until the season tips-off, I can`t wait.

Good first game. Nice to just jump out early and cruise instead of letting NM hang around. Looking forward to game #2.

Even if it is Northern Michigan it was nice to see them blow them out. Manny with a tripple double and Vogrich had a nice debut by going 5 of 5 from outside.
