No turnovers in the box score though **Apparently didn't track TOs, steals, blocks.

Yep. Was told they were lost in translation…
Some of the Ricky redshirt talk was in regards to the level of competition he’s faced. It appears he can run the floor well and is in very good shape. I’m happy he looks ready to make the jump into B1G play.
outside of Irvin, horrible day shooting from outside.
MAAR looks like he might set the record for FTA in a career.
Really wishing we could have seen DJ in action on this trip…bummer.
Doyle’s performance is the most encouraging so far. Any idea if the quality of competition will improve on the trip? It seems like the Belgium trip was a lot tougher test.
Each of the remaining two games represents a step up in competition, so it does ramp from here.
I think we are all most interested in the 5s - it really impacts the season forecast to a large extent because we more or less know what we’re getting from the other 4 spots.
Game three about to get underway… Michigan going with the same starters as the first three games.
Sounds like Donnal is performing better today so far. Couple of rebounds and putbacks.
Sounds like Zak is doing his work today inside the arc, which (without any other context) sounds like a positive development.
LeVert knocking rust off
A cutting @CarisLeVert scores on an acrobatic lay-up. #ForzaBlu

U-M runs its set, runs into trouble, @CarisLeVert is there - THREE! U-M doubles up the score 42-21. #ForzaBlu

U-M taking care of rebounding and taking control of the game. @CarisLeVert grabs another drives down and is fouled #ForzaBlu

WOW! @CarisLeVert takes the ball, cuts left, right, left, fake pass reverse lay-up. WOW. #ForzaBlu

Michigan destroys Petrarca 116-52
Dawkins finally went off.
Was hoping for an Austin Hatch bucket.
Love the extra practice time and camaraderie building, but these games are meaningless up to now. An intra squad scrimmage would be 10 times more competitive. I wonder how Hillsdale College would have fared against these “all stars?”
Yes, I don’t even think the staff thought these teams were going to be this bad. In one of the press conferences, JB stated something about how beneficial it would be for this team to lose this early in the year when it didn’t mean anything.
I also would have liked to see teams that they would have a very tough time beating with some ex-college stars that were 2nd round draft prospects.
Reps running sets, schemes, systems are always valuable.

Agreed. But running them against the JV limits the quality and the value. It would have been nice to see some defensive resistance from the opponents. All of these offensive “stats” are so skewed and irrelevant.
My understanding is that this opponent was not an all star team but a lower division pro team.

No way…I’m running with the notion that we’re going UNDEFEATED, BABY. WOOOO!
In more seriousness, today’s game was supposed to be against a higher quality opponent, but instead it was the easiest result. Hopefully that is a small sign of progress for the team.
