Michigan Men's Basketball: AKA the Michigan revenue sport that doesn't have an uber jaded fanbase waiting in the dark for failure.

Wake took 22 more shots than Michigan even though Michigan had more rebounds.   Really weird stat.

they needed that one.  losing to wake at home would not have been good.

try shooting better than 15% from 3 next time.

Each year its a new mess of players.  its not how you build interest in a sport.  I guess I'll care about these guys by March.  That structural problem obviously not limited to Michigan.

This michigan team has a long way to go to be good.  they look bad right now.

except for mara.  he looks like a future first round nba draft pick.

That is not a catch.

i know the season just started, and it pains me to say this, but how is michigan a top 10 team and michigan state isnt?  state actually beat a good team.  michigan survived two bad teams and looked like crap doing it.

I  heard Izzo has the #1 ranked recruiting class coming in next season. Of course whether that will hold till next season or even for another 2 wks is an open question.

Michigan's two teams under Dusty have the combined issue of turnovers.   That's so far.   I have a hard time following them given all the roster turnover.  At some point a little roster continuity in the program would be nice.

if youre looking for roster continuity, you might as well follow another sport.  nothing will change on that front until they change the rules.

Its the reason I have only watched a few minutes of the team the past two seasons.   Its basically as you describe.  Not worth the attention points when I have other things to worry about than someone's brief audition for the NBA.
