Michigan Friday: Iowa Steals Senior Night

The high off the MSU win didn't last long as Michigan dropped one against a hot Iowa team at Crisler last night.  The 3-1 record needed off 4 straight home games is now 2-2, with a trip to Columbus still on the board this weekend.  Michigan continues to ride the bubble as they struggle to find any consistency.   It's very frustrating when talent doesn't translate to having a good team on the floor night after night. 

BTW, my take is Michigan should decline a NIT invite if it comes to that.  Best to put this season in the rear-view mirror.  

  • Mgoblog points out that Michigan's depth on the DT and Oline is scary low this spring.  The team might have to go fishing in the Transfer Portal after Spring Ball. 
  • Jimmy has added John Morookian to his staff.  John seems like he is an offensive line guy. 
  • Nik Stauskas went off for 57 and 43 points in the G-League on back-to-back nights this week and earned a 2-year contract with the Celtics.

Bob - I disagree with your recommendation that they decline an NIT bid. You might be tired of watching this team play games, but they have a young team that cannot afford to decline a chance to play in a tournament.

I'm surprised to hear that the offensive line likes depth the last I heard and they had a lot of guys there, especially a tackle

This is a young and developing basketball team. Besides Hunter, Johns, Jones, and Brooks, the core of the team should return next year. This was never going to be a Championship squad. It always took Beilein's teams a good 2-3 years before making any runs. Let's just accept this as a work in progress and try to enjoy the ride.

Who is John Morookian? What does he do?

Morookian was at Indiana and Kansas, offensive analyst and coached offensive line. He looks like Jay Harbaugh.
