    Why in the world has Beilein kept his starters on the floor this late into the game?

    If the kids on the bench don't like it, they need to step the heck up in practice. Who knows, I always hear that a coach has to "shorten up" his bench in the tournament. Maybe he's working on that now. He knows what he's doing. Just hope somebody doesnt' get hurt doing it.

    I'm just saying that it was a blowout. IMO, no players other than undeveloped ones should be playing late into the game. Especially with a grueling B1G season coming up, I would be resting players for the last 6-8 minutes of blowouts, unless the coach is trying to accomplish specific things. I just can't think of what those things would be for UM, with them playing so well at this point.

    Michigan's next game is on the 29th. If anything they couldn't get enough PT.

    Especially when looking at the top freshmen in the nation according to ESPN.

    http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=70539

    10. Nik Stauskas, Michigan -- 13.2 PPG, 54.7 3-pt FG pct

    "The least heralded recruit on this list, Stauskas was ranked 76th in the ESPN 100 coming out of St. Mark’s in Southborough, Mass. But the Canadian has been just the deep threat that John Beilein needed at Michigan, shooting 54.7 percent from 3-point range. That puts him on pace to break Jay Edwards’ 25-year-old record for 3-point percentage by a freshman (53.6)."

    Bump. Just another ho-hum 16 point game on the back of 5-8 from the three point line for Stauskus.

    McGary had a double-double in 18 minutes of work. Burke being Burke with 8 assists and only 1 turnover.

    I like the sportsmanship Beilein coaches with, dribble out the clock with the game in hand on the last possession and not jacking up a three.

    It's a fun team to watch. I'm looking forward to B10 play.

    Same here. I already made it clear to the wife that I would like to get away for a couple of hours and watch the game @NW on the 3rd. She said that it shouldn't be a problem, but we will see what she thinks once the time comes. (Getting away is going to the sports bar on a Disney Cruise lol)

    NW lost Crawford for the season following the Gonzaga game, so it might be an easier game than originally expected. I'm sort of looking forward to the Iowa game in AA as the first real test. They have a very good FR center in Woodbury as well as some solid returners (e.g. White, McCabe) from a team that upset us last year in Iowa City. And then we play both OSU and Minny on the road the following week. We should know a lot about how good we are (or aren't) after those three games.

    The road schedule for Michigan is sick following the NW game.
    @tOSU
    @Minnesota
    @Illinois
    @Indiana
    @Wisconsin
    @MSU

    All teams are currently ranked, and Wisconsin was at one time. All those games happen within a month period, Jan. 13th to Feb. 12th.

    Yep. Part of the deal with the ban is if we mention "the incident", the thread gets locked. I can live with that. You guys should ban him too.

    For MSU take Illini out since the don't play them on the road this year (remember how you said that was a bad thing for MSU ;)) and then switch the MSU game with Michigan, how do they do? Who ends up with a better record out of those 5 games, Michigan or MSU?

    MSU =
    @tOSU
    @Minnesota
    @Wisconssin
    @Indiana

    I don't think he likes me either. I have had posts talking about his "past" deleted on several occasions. He is the only one that gets downvotes from me. I like it when he comments in his threads so that I can dish out all 4 or 5 of them. It is my way of sticking it to the man. lol

    Our board is psycho protective of BN writers for some reason. If you criticize them too much, you get warned and threatened with a ban. And the thread almost always ends up locked. If they don't want to be mocked, they shouldn't write such obviously slanted garbage.

    Jesus I don't know sh** about basketball but watching Michigan and Indiana those two teams don't look like they will lose 4 games.

    It's tough on the road I know and that RCMB piece that tracked fouls called home and away was interesting. But they won't have 4 losses barring injury.

    Yea, frustrating at times. That most recent thread on trending coaches article, shouldn't have been locked.

    Idk. I would love to agree with you, but I think it will be a lot like last year. The season is a long grind and you don't always play your best every game. Road games are particularly tough. I doubt any B10 team will have less than three conference losses and easily can see four or five being enough to win a share of the title.

    Totally agree. The comments in the thread were appropriate and fair. The article was a piece of crap.
