At least one recruit was at Thursday’s game:

We’ve got a 2pm tip-off vs. Wright State this afternoon. The game is only on B1G+ so I’ll be looking for highlights later today. Hopefully, this will be a game where Fope gets some extended court time due to us blowing out the opponent.

Sort of a dumb game obviously
Didn’t get to see it but good to see Loughridge knocked down some threes (maybe she can do this!) and Delfosse getting SEVEN stocks is fun

So given the excitement around the women’s team, I went to ESPN to check when our next big non-conference game is. We play Miami in a Feast Week tourney game, but the next true big one is against #14 Oklahoma on December 5th! The tip time on ESPN is listed at…2 AM.
Apparently this is a neutral site game played in Spain. The timing didn’t make sense, so I went and check the official schedule which was the tip time listed as 2 PM. So I’m defaulting to ESPN being wrong but hopefully someone can confirm here

Game is at 2 p.m… in Brooklyn. (Looks like ESPN had a data entry issues (Barclaycard Center vs Barclays Center)
MGoBlue usually your best bet for schedule:

Is there a reason why Michigan and then Duke a week later are playing at Columbia? I know Columbia is a solid women’s program recently but is there some other connection? Plus UM already plays in NY at Barclays.
Thrilled with the start but am I wrong to worry still that some dominant 5 would still give us a lot of problems?

Really guard dominated game this year
Kentucky has a big
Chloe Kitts
Audi Crooks, who is problematic defensively

Kentucky has THREE 6’5” starting bigs, all of whom are more than comfortable launching from downtown. One is Shaq’s daughter and another is a pro from Slovenia who was already drafted by a WNBA team in 2025. She hit 8 threes yesterday in the Wildcats impressive victory over NC State. Savvy Swords (Syla’s 6’2” freshman sis) is the first player off the bench, but plays starter’s minutes. Look for Kentucky in the Top Ten within a few short weeks.

Kitts is only 6’2" and isn’t a widebody so I don’t think she’d be trouble. UCLA has the younger Betts sister. And Texas Tech has a 7’1" freshman but I don’t know if she’s any good.

Stephanie Okechukwu is the name of the Texas Tech big. I guess she’s a sophomore but she didn’t play last year. She is starting and had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks tonight.
I don’t know how good the team is (2-0 this year but against cupcakes) so I don’t know if Michigan will have to deal with her anytime soon.
