Hoops vs Illinois

[thewolverines24]

That is my point. Michigan needs do recruit better at power forward and center and get some guys with some Athletic strength, and rebounding capabilities. I am hoping Howard will correct this area of weakness.

5-star Isaiah Todd.

He has said he really wants to go to college and he has a great relationship with Juwan. He says he feels like Juwan is his uncle and that they clicked on a different level than him and other coaches. Loves his NBA experience as a player and coach as well.

He's still committed to Michigan, so I'm not overly concerned about the hypothetical of overseas right now.

The sky is always falling with this one

I had zero expectations for the Michigan basketball team this year. They've already provided us with some quality experience. Losing @ Illinois doesn't change that. They weren't dominated or anything. Yes, a fan can pick one stat that Michigan didn't measure up. Good job. It was a closely contested road loss in the Big 10. I'm not going to change my zero expectations either way.

Michigan shot 3-18 from 3 point range. Howard needs to recruit some players that know how to shoot from 3 or teach the ones on the team how to do it. Howard can't win on the road. Owned by Illinois. Damn it!!

agree

plus UI is decent this year. sagarin has them as a top 50 team.

if home teams are 10-0 so far in conference play, yeah, this was not a bad loss.

Team went from unranked to #4, to #5 and now has a second loss with the entire BigTen still ahead. This isn't football and the team will have its ups and downs.

This isn't lacrosse either. People keep forgetting that and asking why Howard hasn't recruited a goalie.

Not upset by the loss at all. Tough to win on the road as it is. Was feeling game was a toss-up even before it started.

That?s what I said in #77!

And I have a bold prediction...this will not be the only road loss in conference this season.

M lacrosse - Men's anyways - is year's away from being #5 in the nation but then again, only 11 NCAA programs have ever won the Nat Title and of those 11, three programs won just once.
