Michigan started the second half with a three guard look: Simpson, Brooks and DeJulius at the 1-2-3.
Quick 2 fouls and now Livers has 3. Also DDJ got the 2nd half start with Nunez having 3.
Nice to see we have some OOB plays instead of just throwing it to the backcourt.
Teske ongoing development thing to watch. Got 6ā on every defender tonight. Knew Juwan would encourage post play more. No brainer.

Livers could use a little better touch finishing at the rim. If he continues to attack all season itāll come.

DDJ moves like his body is stuck in quick sand. At times he doesnāt look agile with his mechanics.
Eli the man.

Man I just think this is so awesome for Eli. Iām just happy for the kid. After two rough years and his coach leaving, he could have decided to leave the team and it would have been totally justified. Now he gets an opportunity for a huge role to be the difference for this team - and heās killing it on opening night. We are extremely lucky to have him.

Thatās twice this half x and DDJ had communication issues getting back on D. I think on Forrest. Is x off him to avoid fouls or is DDJ on him to practice tougher D assignments (it seems like DDJ thinks he should be on their off guard)
He is going to get ALOT of minutes this season. ALOT.
