In Maui that week for my honeymoon and the wife has given me permission to goā¦ so Iām going to try to make it happen 
I assume that first game.
LSU adding to the roster a bit hereā¦
Southern Utah transfer Randy Onwuasor and potentially WKU transfer Mitchell Robisnon
Robinson would have to try to get a waiver to play this yearā¦ No clue on the odds that it would be approved.
If anybody is going to Maui like me, tix are now on sale:

Conference schedule is also out
@ UNC, vs. Indiana, @ OSU, vs. UCLA, @ Texas all in 11 daysā¦ woof
Iām actually thinking itāll be an off year for all those teams lol. Ohio State has like 8 players and UCLA shouldnāt be close to
last year. Not sure about Indiana but UNC has very little post play right now.
Edit: Texas should be improved from last year.
Great chance to start the conference schedule 2-0. Weāll be getting Indiana and Ohio State while theyāre still going through growing pains and before their new coaches have had a chance to get their teams to gel.
Some dude on the mgoboard (Remind me never to talk basketball on there again) is trying to diss Beileinās recruiting, and while looking at the rankings I found this to be interesting:
Current UNC Roster Makeup:
One 5 star (Senior with little chance of making the NBA)
Six 4 stars
Five 3 stars
Current Michigan Roster Makeup:
Five 4 stars
Five 3 stars
Two transfers (Robinson and Simmons) who are outplaying their unranked status over their careers.
Not only that, but the four stars are ranked fairly similarly (87 on the composite for Michigan and 66 for UNC) and the 5 star outlier just got done with a 6 ppg junior year.
I think people unhappy with the players that Beilein brings in need to look at schools that arenāt Duke, Kentucky, and Arizona and realize that itās pretty damn rare for schools to be in the top 10 of the team rankings more than once every 4 or so years, and many of the ones who are have been caught or are suspected of recruiting violations.
Iām guessing itās Maizen? Thereās not a lot of technical basketball knowledge among MGobloggers, so it can definitely get frustrating going through comments there.
93 Grad is bad too. He posts here too though
Do we have any idea when game times are generally announced?
When the TV designations come out, typically. Release just says āat a later dateā.
Do you know if the week off before the NCAA tourney is just a one year thing or are we playing the B1G tourney at MSG for multiple years?
Just this year for the BTT. 2019 and 2021 in Chicago and 2020 and 2022 in Indy.
As a Michigan basketball and football season ticket holder, it really disappoints me that UM Basketball scheduled a home game on the same day as the Big Ten Championship. Should be teams like Maryland, Rutgers, Indiana, Northwestern playing games that day since they have no shot at a trip to Indy. I guess Iāll be getting rid of my basketball tickets if UM football has a good year.
Michigan didnāt schedule the game, the Big Ten did. And if the game is played early on Saturday (i.e., in the noon eastern slot), it might be very possible to get to Indy in time for a ādouble header.ā
Yea, I just saw the schedule this morning and was a bit upset. I donāt want to miss either game, but a BT Championship game in Indy would take precedence. Pretty ridiculous scheduling if you ask me.
I donāt understand why people are upset basketball didnāt schedule around a football game weāve never been to before?
