5fouls Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I've not watched a lot of Michigan this year. So, my opinion is based more on what I've seen from us than I do from them. In my wildest fantasies I don't see us winning this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 When: Saturday, February 27th 12 noon EST Fox Where: Simon-Skjodt Assembly Hall, Bloomington, IN Very experienced group...Their normal rotation goes 8 deep... The Dickinson kid can play...Played both ends pretty well against Garza last night. He's the kind of big we have trouble with. Isaiah Livers is a player too. He's their "guy" when they need a basket...Great on both ends. Wagner is probably the top NBA prospect on the roster...Multi talented...Can shoot the 3 as well as drive the ball...Eli Brooks might be the best on the ball defender in the B1G... And Mike Smith (Columbia transfer) is their point...They have smaller guards, so we might match up well there... Off the bench, Chaundee Brown (Wake transfer) can light it up in a hurry if he's on...And Austin Davis is the Wolverines version of Joey Brunk...A dependable senior off the bench who's tricky on the inside and can body up any big in the B1G...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Thanks, IUFLA. I really appreciate the date, time and channel right at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Dickinson’s frame reminds me of Brook Lopez. Brook went in the top ten in the draft so maybe we can get rid of Dickinson right away. Brook didn’t become a shooter until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livers, Brown, and Smith all shoot north of 42% from 3...Wagner and Brooks are 37-38%...They're a very good offensive club...11th in Offensive Rating...And no slouch on defense...66th (out of 347) Defensive rating...they'll get after you...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Exactly. I really like watching Livers play. Plays hard and tough, with an edge that I really like. He’s a competitive kid. Last night, we had a thread about Hunter and how he was sent to the locker room. I have no idea what he did wrong so I can’t comment on that. But I will say this. Not everyone needs to be a choir boy. Hunter has been edgy lately out there, and I......kinda like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippopotamo Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I would be stunned if we lose by less than 15. Might be the first game I decide to sit out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I just don't see this one being close very long. Hope I am wrong but I see a 85-58 kind of game unfortunately. Too much talent all around. Does anyone know what school has the most McDonald's AA committed for next year? If you said Michigan you are correct. Not only will they beat us on Saturday the Wolverines will break the BIg streak and cut down the nets in Indy as the national champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 First game in a while I might not get to watch live due to having Little Keet's birthday party on Saturday. We've had some big hills to climb at times this year, but this one feels like a mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I would love to see us win Saturday but just can't see it. Only thing to hope for is that UM is tired from playing Thursday night and having to play at noon Saturday after traveling. They are in a middle of playing 4 games in 8 days and we are between them playing Iowa and I think UI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I wonder what the word is on Armaan? I know it's one of those "excuses" that some people don't like to hear, but having your second leading scorer, your best 3 point option, and an emerging star hobbled/lost for half the season has made a difference...

It seems like he keeps turning that ankle all the time and probably won't get better until after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great day celebrating with him and lots less stress than tuning in and much much much more enjoyable as you already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him playing will not make any difference. Michigan is a terrible match up for us and throw in all five positions can score from anywhere. We have no one to guard Livers and Wagner and their center is a nightmare be for TJD. I just hope we are competitive and we keep the loss under 20.

My wife has some great ideas for that. He will probably want to turn it on, as will I, but I dread having it on with other people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
