Is Michigan actually good, or are they playing a light schedule?
 
Is Michigan actually good, or are they playing a light schedule?
They've beaten two ranked teams, one in a blow out (then-#22 Xavier), and the other in a close one on the road (then-#11 Wisconsin). Iowa is decent-ish, but unranked. Was closer than I would've liked.

Other than our 2-pt loss @ Wake Forest back in early November, and the aforementioned Iowa and Wisconsin games, all our wins are comfortable.

We have two really good 7-footers on the team, giving us an immediate advantage over most of our opponents. As long as we can play clean basketball, without turning it over a lot, it's tough to see anyone outside of the absolute top teams in the NCAA really challenging us.

Our schedule hasn't been light... my $0.02. It only gets tougher as well. It doesn't look like we'll miss any of the currently good Big Ten teams, and we have to play both Purdue and MSU twice still.
 
I forgot John Calipari left Kentucky for Arkansas.
 
Will T ! Back to back threes ! Last 7 shoots in total !
 
Three times we have botched rebounds and let Arkansas snag the ball.
 
Needed that hoop. 36-21 lead was cut to 9.
39-27 with 4:50 left in the first.
 
That’s not a foul ref. Come on he is jumping into him.
 
Lead is down to 6 now. Lineup out there now isn’t very good on defense. Shooting lights out and the lead has been trimmed down.
 
Michigan let a nice 16 point lead get down to 4 at half. Michigan is shooting lights out too. I feel like they let them off the hook. When Pippen’s son and that group came in they played so sloppy and not much defense either. Michigan had only 5 turnovers, and shot 61.3% that half. Sadly let that lead slip away.
Michigan leads 49-45 at half.

3 turnovers on first four possessions. Getting out worked baldly.
Lead gone.
 
Getting out worked and out hustled. Better match Arkansas energy.
,May had to call timeout there.
 
Calipari is a good coach. His defense is pushing UM’s offense out so far. We better adjust or it may be curtains .
 
Arkansas on a 17-3 run to start the half. Michigan has issues rebound on the defense glass. Jessie pointed this out. We have issues boxing out.
