U of M MEN'S BASKETBALL 2016-2017

[AlabamAlum]

Heh. I just think a basketball icon of a UNC player is funny on an M football uni. I'll get used to it, I'm sure.

And first class? Are the materials used by the Thai children to construct the "Jumpman" uni better than the materials they use to construct the "basic" Nike fare?

[hack]

Especially when the jersey gets a bit askew and the logo looks more like a gymnast doing the splits. But, right or wrong, nobody has yet asked me to define what's tasteful, even though it would be for the greater good.

I thnk M should put a silhouette of Lawrence Taylor on the basketball unis. Think of it as ironic mirroring.

Is that LT doing lines of coke before during and after games LT or the one with an under aged escort?

[AlabamAlum]

Either works.

Another pre-season prediction of 7th place in the B1G:

Looks like the Sporting News, ESPN and Lindy's are the most optimistic, picking Michigan to finish 5th.

[jaadam4]

I'll shoot more towards 7 until this suicide squad does something to deserve it.

I can't help but be optimistic. It could go wrong if Donlon isn't the defensive whiz he has been elsewhere, or if Beilein can't let Donlon do his thing or won't adjust enough. But if they can at least strike the right balance between O and D, and develop a Plan B when the shots aren't falling, it should be a solid tournament team.

I think your Harbaugh blinders are on. Are you talking about the NCAA tourney or Big 10? This is a NIT team to me

[The Oracle]

It's an NCAA team.

[jaadam4]

You guys are raging alcoholics.

[hack]

Still a pretty decent amount of seasoned talent.

[WM Wolverine]

They are fringe top 25.

[hack]

Alcohol is a depressant. Maybe it's you?

[Kstat]

They haven't had a healthy team since they went to the final 4. It's impossible to ever gauge how they're going to do.
