Michigan Basketball, 2024/25 season

[Cody_Russell]

Almost the entire team is unrecognizable when compared to last season. Transfer portal contributors from numerous places. Yet it’s working do to competence at coaching. It makes the Juwan era so frustrating to think about because he had talented players… especially the 2022/2023 team (Dickinson’s last season). A country club culture and awful coaching led to disappointments. We were right about wanting Juwan gone.

Go Blue and Dusty May!

Hell yeah! I wanted to watch that one but don't currently subscribe to Peacock. That's a huge win and puts Michigan back on the map. Wisconsin was ranked #11 going in.

I'm not as invested in M's Basketball program as I am the football program. But, I made a halfway effort to shift focus to B-ball and hockey and away from the terribly disappointing, somewhat self inflicted, transition from Harbaugh to Moore. That was then. Now with the program's ascending recruiting that has brought (or should I say has bought) Bryce Underwood in and way the football team finished the regular season, mostly on the backs of a terrific defense and special teams, I'm back on board.

OTH, the basketball program may be similar to IU's ascendancy to the top 10 football programs that went 10-1 in the regular season with Dust May, like Cignetti formerly at James Madison, teleporting staff and players from FAU. May seems also to have skills in picking transfers that fit into the kind of basketball he wants to play. Anyway, nice win v. the 11th ranked Badgers.

Tough game with the Hawkeyes, but M hangs on for the win today at Crisler Center.

M is now 8-1 on the season (they had 8 wins ALL of last season) and they are still undefeated in conference play.

Next on the schedule is Arkansas on Tuesday.

Michigan is up to #14 in both polls!

Wow! Great job guys!

The team went 2-0 on its west coast swing, winning at both USC and UCLA.

Against USC, Danny Wolf went off and led the team in scoring, (21 points, 13 rebounds) then last night, Vlad Goldin scored 36.

The new twin towers?

And Michigan is still pretty much being ignored. Not getting a lot of ink.

They're only leading the Big Ten at 4-0.

[Mike]

Their 3 losses are by a combined total of 5 points, too. They could really have something going.

UCLA's HC went nuclear on his own team after the game. He called them 'soft'.
