Game 9: Northwestern at Michigan Open Thread

No it’s not, but that was only slight “blemish” I saw…splitting hairs.

Well when you have 2 walk ons and Nunez in can’t expect the defense to be too good

If you told me we’d avg 13tos pee game the rest of the way, id take it and run hide. 11 is great for this bunch.

This is like the 3rd time that we emptied the bench and the opponent randomly kept their rotation players in during blowouts. I don’t blame the team that was in at all lol

Especially since 3-4 of them were committed in the first 2 minutes or so of the game.

Ben Brust sort of looks like a vampire.

If we’ve learned nothing else tonight, it’s that Northwestern’s first team is much, much better than Michigan’s third team.

They’d really better hope that the top eight or nine rotation guys don’t all foul out of a close game. :wink:

Yes, yes it was. :grin:

I was watching Ant Wright’s stream, and he responded to a question by saying (paraphrasing), “No, everyone can come back. The NCAA said this year doesn’t count for eligibility. Smith can come back, Livers can come back. Davis can come back. Wisconsin’s starting five can come back for year nine.”

Correct. I think that teams run into scholarship limits down the line, but that’s true for this season, for all fall / winter sports (and probably the spring sports too, but I’m not sure it’s been announced yet).

Next year is going to be freaking fascinating. This year is already a treat, but after years of seeing the ranks depleted by early defections, I think we’re going to be watching some dizzyingly high-level basketball in the B1G.

Unsung hero’s of this game is the coaching staff. The players were magnificent; the coaches sublime

We get Liam Robbins and Minnesota twice in 10 days. Looking forward to that matchup for Hunter.

Eli Brooks just named himself as highest jumper and Zeb Jackson as best dunker on the team.
