When Juwan took over, I 100% supported that hire. There was times even when his team was playing well that Michigan didn't have any scores on the court. Or how Juwan struggled to find any shooters his entire time in Ann Arbor.
Those days are over! Dusty has done a wonderful job finding good players in the portal. Each one can shoot and it seems each one can defend. They had over 50 points at the half last night and scored over 100 for the game in the first W of the season. I think they have 8 players that could go for 20+ any night.
This team is deep as well, they look to be maybe 10 deep with 2 guys out last night due to injury. The Wolverines do have some weaknesses and will need to be a better at getting rebounds. Keep an eye on the 7 foot transfer from Yale Danny Wolf, he has handles, can shoot the 3, and work the low the post. He played 24 minutes, shot 8-10 and finished with 19 points. LJ Cason is a true freshman and a future star.
I've said this before and will say it again, Support this team! Basketball is back in Ann Arbor!
What a great tweet below:
FWIW, here's the first and last home game of the Dusty May era at Florida Atlantic. https://t.co/8qhXdIek5T pic.twitter.com/2VNBOMS5vH
— Dylan Burkhardt (@umhoops) November 5, 2024- I really want to bang on the Big Ten for scheduling Michigan - Oregon and then Michigan - IU in back to back weeks. But nobody saw IU coming this year.
- Its funny how different fan bases want different start times. Michigan fans want every game at Noon. I guess the PSU fans boycotted the Fox Pre-game show because they were mad PSU-OSU was not a night game/White Out.
- I didn't watch the CFP Playoff ranking shows when Michigan was good, I won't be watching tonight for sure. Part of me wonders if Warde will fumble the TV interviews.
- Erik All has blown out his ACL and is out for the rest of his rookie season.
- It's a big and important day. Clearly its the NFL Trade Deadline Day! :-)
- Lions made a trade for the Browns Smith to try to band aide a pass rush while Hutch is out.
- MACtion tonight!

Bob, or any BHB member, where is a good spot to park for a UM basketball game? I'm always on the golf course for football, but that prob isn't open.
Some guys are always injured. Nothing you can do, it's in their DNA. ALL's buddy Cade is another one. I believe he is hurt again at Iowa.
Imagine a day when both basketball and football are good in the same season!
Vote early, vote often!
Dammit if we're not a basketball team again!!! That was entertaining. As hard a watch as Juwan's teams were the past few seasons, Dusty May's style of play is exciting. I get it was only Cleveland St but the frenetic pace of this team is going to be entertaining. They might not win all the time, but it was a really fun watch. Wolf is a DAWG and not sure who #24 is but he's a knock down 3 pt shooter that Juwan didn't have for a while.
He might be but he just straight up sucks. I watched the game where he was on the sideline in uniform and the back up was moving the team. I know the whole "those who live in glass houses...." bit but I dont' think we missed out on much when he left for Iowa. In fact, he had the same stewing look on his face when they would put JJ in the game for a play or 2. He looked pissed that he was on the sidelines and the other guy was moving the team. I'll say it "IMHO Cade McNamara is not a team guy. He's about himself and not the team"
Unfortunately I think we'll have to wait a while for that as I'm not sure Sherrone has the chops to turn this around on a dime!
How many injuries has All had in his football career? Look I get following your dream, but it comes to a point where you have to just admit that its not in the cards. Football ball is a great game, but being able to live a normal life and take you kids and hopefully grandkids for a walk one day is important too!
Lions needed to make that move. I'd like to see another pass rusher brought in as well. Take a flyer on a rental like Chase Young. My concern is Smith was playing opposite of Myles Garrett and that the Lions have no Myles Garrett to play opposite of him.
Chowman- I just checked Iowa's depth chart and Cade isn't even on it. Lol Rumor has it Cade refused to help J.J. when he was here. Not a good team mate.
Gotta love Dusty's style of play. Fun to watch indeed.
Dude, I've been telling that to all my coworkers! Get Young, Garrett, or Crosby, and if Brad is so worried about giving up picks, then you can trade them again after the season to get your picks back. Basically a one year rental. But I like the Smith trade.
The poor guy is made out of fine China. Brittle as F.
I'd be interested in any quality players available. Need insurance at all positions. Got to win this thing this year. Fuck future picks. Givem some 2027 and a 2028 picks. Time to win is now.
Agree with Brady. The dash to the finish is now. How will Hutch rehab?
Unfortunately no other moves were made. Not sure if it was a lack of availability or effort. I do wonder how Hutch will comeback. I hope and pray he makes a speedy and full recovery. It just always gives me pause when you have that type of injury that was not weight bearing.
