Freshman Livers and Brooks no longer exist. Both look ready to take a big step forward

Livers and Poole are noticeably improved, in my opinion. Poole is playing so much more within himself, despite having a poor shooting day.
If NSU starts bringing junk traps like that this might get out of hand quickly.
Really like how Livers has been playing.

Big time. Shows a maturity this team needs
Also… Michigan quite clearly has an eight-man rotation.
If he can continue to hit jumpers, Livers is going to be a huge plus.
I loved the Livers look out of the middle of the zone for the Brooks 3.
Brooks has no lack of confidence this year.
My three preseason predictions I felt super strongly about: MSU was very overrated, Michigan would struggle big time making threes, Eli Brooks would be a big contributor and could help with the 3P struggles. Feel pretty confident about all three after tonight, despite MSU’s 2H comeback.

The FT struggles may kill me this year with less margin for error given the likely offensive issues.

One of the most lackluster 20-point wins to open a season. You guys can pay for your subscriptions by hammering the under on Michigan games for the next few months

Oh yeah. And any Michigan spreads ~18+. This team attacks the rim so much that it’ll end up at the line a lot… which may not be very good.
Not a pretty Beilein offense like in years past, but at least there’s room to grow?
We might be Virginia this year and I don’t know how to feel about that
Biggest takeaway is that Livers and Brooks feel like starters. I almost wonder if we could somehow stagger Simpson and Matthews periodically with one of Livers/Brooks to get some more shooting on the floor.

There is a lot of talent on this team. They have room to grow and come together.
8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists for Livers tonite. I just feel better when he’s on the floor for some reason.
