Not outright, but kindaā€¦

After the success he had with Mike Smith as a graduate transfer point guard last season, Juwan Howard went back to the portal in the offseason and landed Jones, the Sun Belt Player of the Year from Coastal Carolina. After establishing himself as one of the better two-way players in the country last season, Jones has struggled in Ann Arbor. Heā€™s averaging 6.8 points, 3.9 assists and shooting just 25.0% from 3-point range. He might be the key to whether Michigan can turn it around.

More covid cancellations. Feels like this is just the start. Imagine itā€™ll be a huge concern into January too.

Happening in the NBA too. Ran out and got my booster and flu shot yesterday.

Just in time for conference seasonā€¦ sigh

If weā€™re now facing a much more transmissible strain and no-play policy will be based on case counts, then this is definitely just the start.

Teams with too many ill players forfeit instead of the game being canceled.
Blaming people for getting sick is a healthy development in college basketball.

Anybody else who stayed on BTN after the Michigan game to watch Iowa / USUā€¦ the four (!) three point lines are killing me. The outermost line looks like an NBA line, maybe? So it could be NBA, mensā€™ college, womensā€™ college, and high school?

I noticed that. Itā€™s very disorienting.

SFA is down 3 at Kansas with 3:45 left in regulationā€¦ (ESPN+)

Oh well. Too good to last. But it helps add some perspective to tonightā€™s Michigan gameā€¦ SFA isnā€™t as good as SUU, whether on KenPom or just by rĆ©sumĆ© evaluationā€¦

Carr is the much bigger news, of course, but heā€™s the second this week.

Any idea why all this is happening to Texas?

Itā€™s like being a Lions fan they way players show up against us, have a career day, and then do not much else. Or at least thatā€™s what I remember most from back when I cared about the Lions. What a wretched year so far.

I was just going to say that about the career games that seem to happen against U of M. Even the womens team now ( ie Neb game).
