OT: Michigan / St John's

[toby83]

Interesting to see how Michigan looks, and if their transfer big from TN can handle Soriano.

St Johns favored by 2.5

I just realized Tray Jackson from Seton Hall part of Wolverines rotation now

6:30 on FS1

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Was at Tennessee's NCAA games in Orlando. I really like that guy Michigan got. He is tough

 

[bac2therac]

some say Michigan will be down this year this is a great early season test to show otherwise. Big 10 has been pretty awful this year OOC so its a win we need

 

[RUPete]

Damn, I guess I have to root for Michigan tonight. Garden should be pumped.

 

[BillyC80]

If St. John’s wins or loses a close one, I’ll take that as a good sign for our season, considering our OT loss to them in the exhibition game.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Xavier and Purdue play the late game. Make or break day for the Big 10 today, two losses will have a lot of people writing off the conference.

Michigan has been great so far. Two blowouts over okay-ish mid majors and they also beat Marquette in a scrimmage.

Understandable, but probably premature.

Maybe it’s because Phil Martelli has been coaching the team . . .

 

[Mr_Twister]

Don’t forget Rider at Nebraska …

 

[MadRU]

Now this is fast paced

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Now this is fast paced

And the guards can shoot!!

 

[toby83]

Who the hell is that guy

 

[BillyC80]

Blew through the 16 minute timeout, almost down to 12 minutes before the ball went out of bounds. Those guys needed a break!

 

[BillyC80]

Both teams scoring at a 100 point pace. Has to slow down a bit.

 

[Corycord1]

Watching these teams always makes me wonder why we can’t play like this, not even speed wise but the spacing is always so good and no one ever passes up a good shot. Ever since I can remember during the Pike era we always seem hesitant too shoot pass up a good look for a contested one.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Why are we worried about Michigan ? They are leaving the big ten, right ??? 😀

 

[RutgersChow]

Surprised at the spread - would have thought Michigan -3 to -5.

What?

 

[toby83]

The little point guard on Michigan is playing great. Set up three wide open threes off the press break / penetration, they have just missed them in past five mins

I bet Michigan first half
Second half Johnnies get the whistles in MSG

 

[fatsam98]

Michigan looks pretty good. Rooting for them for NET purposes as painful as that is... B1G needs to get back on track in the non-con

 

[RutgersChow]

It has taken Pitino less than a year to be favored against Michigan. Say what you want about him, but the guy can recruit and he can coach. Love the tie and sport jacket on the sidelines too.

Xavier and Purdue play the late game. Make or break day for the Big 10 today, two losses will have a lot of people writing off the conference.

It might be hard to get 8 NCAA bids .

 

[BillyC80]

St. John’s looks good, but Michigan looks better.

 

[RUJMM78]

Michigan has terrific 3 point shooters and scored 48 points in the first half.They might be the surprise team in the B1G Ten scoring over 75 points per game.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

St. John’s looks good, but Michigan looks better.

Burnett is playing out of his mind . . .

 

[BillyC80]

SJU getting to the rim but barely missing lay-ins.

 

[RU848789]

Michigan's guard play has been superb. And of course we have to play them twice - our guards better improve a lot by then or else they'll spank us. We absolutely want them and Purdue and everyone else in the B1G to win OOC, though.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

If you are watching the game, you just saw Exhibit A of why you don’t press teams will good guards. Michigan is shredding St. John’s press and getting lay up after lay up.

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Michigan was supposed to be down this year. Sadly that won’t be the case.

 

[RU82]

I bet Michigan first half

Pitino probably promising the refs hookers after the game right now.

Spread was ridiculous. The talent differential is huge. Got home to late to bet it. Pitino is good, but Martelli is no slouch.

 

[RUPete]

Damn these two teams don’t like to play any D. And rebounding? My God these teams are lazy on the o boards.

 

[RUPete]

Classic early overreaction.

 

[RutgersChow]

We certainly could learn from Michigan how to break the press.

 

[BillyC80]

Tschetter should play for Wisconsin

 

[fatsam98]

Really surprised at how good Michigan looks.

Don't worry, Juwan will be back soon

 

[BillyC80]

Would love it if JMike could model his game after Dug McDaniel from UM.

People never learn you can’t go by a small sample size. I’d argue Michigan is better with Martelli as coach. Let’s see what Howard does with them.
