OT: Michigan

[All_Hoosiers 873]

Can't say they've been impressive lately: Lost by seven to Iowa State, barely beat Florida State after being down most of the game, and just lost to Charlotte. Nik Stauskas is carrying that team.

Never really understood why they were ranked so high to begin the season. I don't see them as a top 25 and think IU is a much better team.

[WilJos3390 284]

I think they'll lose a lot of ground once Big Ten play starts. I can see IU and Wisconsin finishing in front of Michigan

I'm surprised to see that someone hasn't gotten into Mitch McGary's head.

[mdn82 25,510]

I said before the season, and I will say it again, I think they were overrated due to McGary playing big in the tournament.  Robinson has a name, but was inconsistent at best last year.  McGary is solid, but not good enough to lead a team.  They do not scare me.  They may beat us, but they are not a top 10 team.  They miss Burke and Hardaway badly.  On top of that the time McGary missed due to his back was huge.

I've seen Wisconsin play a couple of times here at the beginning of the season. I hate to say it, but they look impressive. Good ball movement, pesky defense, and good perimeter scoring.

Without Stauskas, I think Michigan would've lost to Florida State too. I think they're overrated, and I expect Indiana to beat them this season.

Agree with this. Bo Ryan's got a good squad.

Agreed.  If I had to rank teams right now in the B1G, I would probably have them at 2 ahead of OSU.

I agree 100%. Michigan is inflated due to their run last season. They were playing good basketball at the right time last season. Wisconsin scares me in every sport, every time.

I can't wait to beat them at cameron in the challenge. But then again duke hasn't looked impressive either we barely won last night and had a close call against east Carolina. We can score with anyone but are struggling to play any type of d.

I couldn't stand to watch Michigan in the tournament last year because of McGary's 2 (TWO, people) good games and all of the hype that brought him. He's like a less-skilled, not nearly as good Psycho-T.

I HATE WISCONSIN

I STRONGLY DISLIKE UM

I DISLIKE ILLINOIS

PURDUE JUST SUCKS, PLUS THEY ARE ANNOYING SO I STRONGLY DISLIKE THEM

 

I can pull for any other team in the conference, and even UM or Illinois if they are playing the right non-con opponent... Although Minnesota is hard for me to pull for because their color scheme makes me sick...

And Frank Kaminsky will probably drop 41 on us. Tall white guy that hits three point shots at a good clip, seems like a perfect recipe against us, if recent history has taught us anything about IU-Wisconsin

[Feaskb01 130]

Michigan goes with Stauskas this year. If he averages 30 a game then they will be good. Thankfully, that will not happen. I can't wait for the Vonleh McGary matchup. I feel if Vonleh stays outs of foul trouble, we can be in any game with any team at any time. 

[chicagoHOOSIER 1,051]

Michigan = Overrated.

 

But that FSU win was a good win.

 

I only saw the part of the FSU game when Michigan looked good.  Glad I did not sit through the part when they flat out sucked for the first 30 minutes.

What is your assessment on Jabari Parker?

[BlueDevil 8,693]

[quote name="OliviaPope40" post="20336" timestamp="1385441471"] What is your assessment on Jabari Parker?[/quote] Honestly I think the kid is an NBA player playing for us right now he is that good. I knew he was gonna be special but he has exceeded my expectations by a lot. He is also very humble. He can really play any position on the floor and is a good shot blocker inside. He is carrying us right now along with Rodney Hood. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Jabari is unreal. I hate Duke (no offence) and I usually choose not to watch them play because I normally hate their players (no offence again). This year is the exception, though. I could watch Parker play literally every night and not get tired of it. And you're right, his humbleness really stands out. Especially considering he almost spurned college to go on a mission instead. Great kid. Great player. I hope he has nothing but success.

No offense taken my man im just glad people respect Jabari as much as Duke fans do. He is really a team player and looks to get others involved and sometimes I wish he would take more shots.
