Very impressed with Michigan. And they have a 5 star coming in next year and Howard will get more studs. Very well respected guy with the young kids.
 
Acc in basketball is as over rated as sec in football. Great stuff but always gets the benefit if the doubt.
 
No love here for Michigan but I REALLY hate the University of No Classes.
 
They had a nice interview with Juwan Howard after the win. This guy is going to do very well there. I believe he already pulled in a 5 star and he has connections up the wazoo and a ton of charisma.

Does Michigan play a different style with the new coach that teams haven’t prepared for properly?
 
Count me among those that underestimated Juwan Howard. They are impressive. Originally I was happy we play them twice. Now not feeling too good about it.

not a huge difference in style. Still a ton of high ball screens. The primary difference this season is better outside shooting. Michigan struggled last year with the 3 shooting only 34% as a team. Some of that was because Zavier Simpson and Jon Teske are not great shooters at the 1 and 5, but also played Charles Matthews a ton of minutes at the 3 which left only 2 good shooters on the court at a time. This year Simpson is knocking down a few more and Michigan has good shooters at the 2/3/4 spots at almost all times. Simpson is impossible to keep out of the lane so you end up putting the defense into help rotations and eventually a good shooter is going to be left open.
 
DeJulius and Brooks are shooting 27/55 from three... That's 49%. The question was who could step up besides Simpson, Teske, and Livers and, well, there you go. Livers is also over 50%.
