Popular Post IUFLA Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) When: Saturday February 11th 6:00 pm EST Where: Crisler Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan TV: ESPN IU visits the currently 13-10 (7-5, tied for 4th in Big Ten) Michigan Wolverines. Michigan does have a game tonight at the Crisler Center with Nebraska. Juwan Howard is i his 4th season in Ann Arbor (74-42 overall and 42-27 in Big 10 play. Michigan has won 2 in a row...at Northwestern, and at home versus Ohio State. We all know preseason All Big 10 center Hiunter Dickinson. Skilled around the basket, and has developed a serviceable 3 point shot (37% on the year) he leads the team in scoring, rebounding, blocks and turnovers. Last year in the regular season game at IU, he scored 25 (3-4 from 3 point range) and had 9 rebounds. We did better against him in the rematch in the BTT holding him to 15 and 5. He's joined in the starting lineup by super freshman Jett Howard (Juwan's younger son) who is a pure scorer. When he's on, he's a tough matchup. Shoots an overall 50% from the field and 39% from 3 point range. Had an ankle sprain 3 games ago against Minnesota, but has come back with games of 21, 8, and 16 points in their last 3. Terrance Williams II (as opposed to Clarence Williams III "Mod Squad" fans...as Stephen Bardo would say, "Google it young people.") starts in the front court. Scores 8 PPG, but hitting just 27% of his 3 pointers. Pretty good defender...The backcourt consists of Freshman Dug McDaniel at the PG (7 PPG 4 APG) and Kobe Bufkin (12 PPG 30% from 3). Duke transfer Joey Baker (37% from 3), Freshman Tarris Reed (who I saw get outplayed by our own Malik Reneau in high school), Will Tschetter, and Juwan's oldesr son, Jace, see time off the bench. Michigan is a lot like Maryland, but with a better big man, and not as good defensively. Long and athletic, you can see they have a boatload of talent, with 7 RSCI Top 100 kids on their roster. The Wolverines are 8th in ORtg and 10th in DRtg in the Big 10. Poor FT shooting club (10th in the Big 10 at 70%). We gotta get it together on the road. In the BTT last year, Trayce clearly outplayed Dickinson scoring 24 points in the comeback win. Hopefully he can replicate that effort, and we can get some outside shots to fall...Tough game, but aren't they all in the Big 10?

5fouls Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) On the subject of Road wins, of which Indiana has 3 (Xavier, Illinois, Minnesota), among Big Ten teams, only Purdue with 7, and Northwestern with 5, have more.

FKIM01 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Lots of talent with a "meh" coach. He's not demonstrably bad like Penny Hardaway, but I've yet to see why he was expected to be an NBA coach. Good at getting and keeping talent, but I haven't seen him do much with it beyond the initial honeymoon phase. That being said, I expect to see Michigan jacked up about the opportunity to knock mighty IU down a peg or two. IU has had a nice run, but (outside of Zavier and Illinois) they've not shown much fortitude away from Bloomington so I am not going in expecting a great result. Michigan has enough talent to blow away very good teams. They've just been wildly inconsistent, probably due to their youth and the aforementioned coaching.

Between2Halls Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Michigan is one of the Big Ten teams I really don’t like. Oh wait. I don’t like any of them. 😂 That being said, I really want to see our guys continue their focused effort and play on the road. After the Maryland game, I’m cautiously optimistic at best. Road woes is the next key hurdle for our program I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Unofficial Depth/Injury WOLVERINES! WOLVERINES! Oh wait, this isn’t Red Dawn. Michigan is in the same spot last year in my opinion, they have had a up and down season sitting at 13-10 and 9-3 at home. Starting 5 consists of, 7’1 260 C Dickinson (18.1 PPG, we all know him), 6’8 215 G Jett Howard (Straight up scorer, 38.8% 3P), 6’4 195 Kobe Bufkin (Playing well recently), 5’11 160 G Dug McDaniel (replaced Llewelyn), and 6’7 215 F Terrance Williams (2nd best rebounder on Michigan). They replaced 4 starters from last year’s Sweet 16 team. From what I have seen, Michigan isn’t bad at staying away from fouls only averaging 9.9 fouls in Conference play. Michigan likes to play about 7-8 deep judging by the last previous games and minutes distributions. However, the starters do play pretty heavy minutes in games in marquee matchups. However, this game will not be a cakewalk, they have talent to compete. Add to it, they are super desperate right now, which might be interesting on Saturday. The names I usually see coming off the bench is 6’7 205 G Joey Baker (43% 3P), 6’10 230 F Tarris Reed Jr, and 6’8 240 F Will Teschetter. And sometimes 6’7 225 G Jace Howard. There has been a couple of times where Michigan only played 6 deep (In quality minutes). Injury report- F Will Teschetter is questionable for the Nebraska (as of now), as he has missed 3 straight games to an undisclosed illness G Jaelin Llewelyn- former starter is out for the season Edited February 8, 2023 by Hoosierfan1901 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kinda goofy... And his basketball shorts are in the Speedo range... He doesn’t do too much, had 17 minutes against Purdue and had a career high of 7 points against Iowa. Then again, he is a Freshman and is probably just used as an extra body for now. We will see if he plays or does anything tonight, seems like Michigan fans like him Edited February 8, 2023 by Hoosierfan1901 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played pretty poorly in the past two at Minny and MD. Hopefully we come out like we did in the other Assembly Hall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
