MICHIGAN'S MEN'S BASKETBALL: 2015-2016

[The Oracle]

He's got roughly less than 3 weeks. We'll need him the 30th at Illinois.

[hack]

Yeah. Do you know how he hurt himself? I don't. Spike I understand -- genetic condition. LeVert I understand -- stress fracture. But it's exceptionally frustrating that we can't start the year with a healthy team.

[The Oracle]

Who Walton?

Doyle looking like Wilt fuckin Chamberlain against these scrubs. All is well with the bigs!!!!

[hack]

No, Irvin.

[The Oracle]

Don't think it's ever been disclosed, at least from what I've seen.

[Mike]

TAKE THAT, DELEWARE STATE!!

[The Oracle]

They legitly are most likely the worst team in D-1.

[lineygoblue]

TAKE THAT, DELEWARE STATE!!

Yeah that will teach them to schedule mighty Michigan.

Spike's presser:

He makes it sound like he played hurt all last year.

Sounds like the other injured guy is Wilson. That does suck because he needs to play and these next 4 teams would be a time to do that. I'm pretty much not counting on him at all this season.

I was wondering why he didn't play today.

At least Chatman showed some signs of life. Sure, it was against terrible competition but he can use any confidence boost available.

Irvin looked his most explosive today, throwing down two power-dunks. I hope that's a sign of things to come. His J still looks off.

I guess another notable thing from today's game is that Robinson started over Dawkins.

Three more games against losing teams to try and get everyone healthy and focused before B1G play starts. I guess it's also an opportunity for Dakich to get comfortable. I was thinking that this would be a year that we wouldn't see Dakich or Lonnegan play. I guess not.

[The Oracle]

Yup, was calling for Robinson to start, glad to see it.

In the "can you imagine" category, .. think of where Michigan would be right now if everyone they had, would have completed their eligibility.

This was mentioned on the broadcast. They'd be the favorite to win the NC.

[The Oracle]

You can go all across the country and make the same case. Culture of the game.

[lineygoblue]

I know.

But it would be nice if some sort of agreement could be reached with the NBA, where players would spend more time on college teams.

I know .. I know .. we've hashed this out in here before ...

I heard that, although they included Burke on the list and he would've been a senior last year.

Of course, if Kentucky didn't have early-departures, they'd have a really sweet 30-man roster.
