MICHIGAN MEN'S BASKETBALL- '23 -'24 Season.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Iffen you can't beat UNL in C-Bus...you ain't touching The Penguin...

[Mike]

Her twisted voodoo was no match for Michigan.

[lineygoblue]

Michigan gets in, but in a very shaky position. I think they might be able to handle CSU, but I don't think they'll get past the Vals.

The tournament is set up well for Gonzaga.

[WM Wolverine]

Vols a strong #3 seed (#7 in Kenpom), unlike Wisconsin who is 1-spot below M in Kenpom.

[hack]

Vols coached by Rick Barnes, one of the game's more reliable postseason underperformers. But we'll see. They haven't won two games in a row since forever. See about that win vs the Rams and then let's get to figuring out next year's roster anyways.

[Cody_Russell]

Yep. Rick Barnes is known for underachieving in the tourney. The Grant Williams led Tennessee team a few years ago was scarier and Purdue knocked them out.

Jones is out for M today due to being in concussion protocol. It probably hurts because Jones has been better lately. Time to see what the talented Frankie Collins can do. Go Blue! Time to dominate in the paint!

[Mike]

Oh, shit. Jones was really playing well down the stretch. I was worried about those knocks he took on the head. If it's a result from the play near the end of the OSU game, it's kind of strange that he has a concussion but wasn't evaluated at the time of the injury. He went right back in after a couple minutes.

[Mike]

Michigan is clearly the superior team athletically but if they can't make anything from deep, I don't see them advancing. CSU has no answer for Dickinson but he can't win the game by himself.

[Cody_Russell]

M playing like shit to start this game. The turnovers… John Beilein would be in agony watching this reckless play.

[Mike]

A very disappointing season will end today. This is just awful.

[Cody_Russell]

Down by 7 at half is a huge win all things considered. Still can win.

Dickinson is getting ABUSED on defense on the perimeter. Are we sure he won’t return next season? NBA might not like that defense.

The one good thing about potentially losing today is never having to see Brandon Johns play basketball again. Good person, but geez. He lost all confidence. It’s hard to watch Johns now…

[Mike]

Collins asserting himself. 5-5 from the floor with our only triple and 12 points.

[Mike]

CSU outrebounding us 8-3 on the offensive glass. Strange game. Michigan is 9-10 from the line and the Rams haven't even attempted a free-throw yet. CSU is 9-21 from deep and Michigan is 1-8. CSH has attempted 14 more FGs than Michigan because of the offensive rebounds and Michigan turnovers but it's only a 3 point game. CSU getting into foul trouble. One starter just picked up his 3rd and another pair of starters has 2 each. Fouls are 11-4 CSU/UM.

[Mike]

Ha! Michigan was down 15 and wins going away by 12.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Nice win. Well, great second half anyways.
