Game 1: Appalachian State at Michigan Open Thread

There it is

Some good, some bad, some ugly tonight. Hats off to Eli Brooks, both mentally and for his overall steady performance and consistency.

Looks like the M.O. of this team will be struggling to finish games.

This team has basically 4 players it can count on. Everyone after that is either not ready or never will be.

I mean it’s 1 game

I think it can count on Castleton right now too. Just not sure how much he can play alongside Teske. But I would have felt 100 times better with him on the floor at the 4 down the stretch than the 3 guard lineup.

Livers and Simpson with 11 TOs and 7 fouls. Ouch.

Teams are going to challenge us on the perimeter unless someone shows they can break down their man and put the ball on the floor.

You’ll fit right in with the general run of Michigan fandom, alas.

Both were handling the ball very lazily. Hope it’s shores up in practice. I imagine it’ll be pretty obvious during film sessions

Way to make it interesting. Shook all the rust off nothing but perfection here on out

Keep in mind that Franz is out. We’ve got to stay afloat during his absence.

Anyone think it weird Howard didn’t call timeout at opportune times?

Michigan looked really really good for 22 minutes. I’m going to focus on that.

I don’t think X will have another game like this knowing his bulldog mentality. Nice to see him swish the last 2 fts though.

Incredibly savvy move by Coach Howard to intentionally let App State go on a 29-3 run to ensure this team doesn’t get too high on themselves and to keep them focused before Creighton next week. I for one applaud it.

I, for one, will never give up on X, or Teske. FTs be damned!

So Dylan: if you’re going to the presser, ask Juwan what the thinking was with DDJ in there to end the game.
