Franz with the unnecessarily aggressive spike on that falling layup

Although the throw it into Hunter offense works well with that lineup…

Best half of basketball Michigan’s played so far this season right?

I think an overused phrase we’re going to hear from Big 10 announcers late in the conference schedule is, “It’s a different guy doing it every night for the Michigan Wolverines!”

Up 18 and it feels like they’re playing even better than that.

Dickinson’s feet when he gets the ball on offense are really really good for a giant man. And his hands are terrific.

I like his ability to face up, mature enough to repost, and knows how to use his body to secure interior leverage and a strong ability to finish.

After having a few big guys in recent years that had trouble catching the ball, it’s nice to have one that seems to catch everything!

If Michigan can get Smith to start hitting some shots and Wagner to be more consistent on the offensive side this team could be real good on offense. Will at best be average on defense though should be fun season in loaded Big Ten!!

Franz just completely lost Littleton. He’s been drifting to the paint all half off shooters

Maybe you could complain about big men passing…but hands? Teske was great on PnR. Wagner is in the NBA because of his offensive skill. McGary and Morgan were both good. I guess Ricky Doyle and Jon Horford?

Brooks and Jackson both scoreless this half. Easily a win of a trade for Michigan

I think he’s referencing guys like Donnal, Doyle, young-Horford, etc.

No first half minuets for Williams surprised did not play some like that 9 man rotation with him getting a few minuets each half.

Thank you. Yes. Didn’t mean Wagner or McGary, of course.

Williams was set to check in at one point, then Juwan pulled him back. Don’t remember if there was a foul and he needed a different lineup or what.

From what I see Toledo only got off 2 3 point shots in the last 7 minutes of the half compared to 14 in the first 13. Definitely a better job of guarding the 3 point arc later in the half.
