UM has been without Caris LeVert (17.6 ppg; 5.4 rpg; 5.2 apg) since the start of January, although he is potentially close to returning to action.In his absence, the Wolverines have been a balanced club with five players averaging at least 9.5 points per game, including four in double figures. Michigan is an efficient offensive team that is shooting 45 percent from the field in Big Ten play, including over 40 percent from 3-point range. Junior Zak Irvin leads UM with 13.8 ppg in Big Ten play while shooting 46 percent from 3-point range. Derrick Walton Jr. adds 12.8 ppg and 6.7 rpg, while Mark Donnal is averaging 11.7 ppg and 7.0 rpg in conference action. 1 Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Posted a thread on the Classifieds page but looking for 2-4 tickets for the game today still. PM me as to not derail the thread. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Definitely a tough match up with all of their 3 point options, but IF we defend the 3 as well as we are capable (not like the outing vs Sparty), I like our shot in this game. A confident, maturing team with a jacked up crowd all work in our favor. But we cannot afford one of our patented 5-7 minute scoring droughts. GBR Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Any updates on the team's health? Heard a bug was going through the locker room and Watson was a little under the weather. Quote Link to comment

pigskin barnyard mcgiggles Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We are playing some outstanding defense this game. Top notch. On a pace to give up 88 points. That will not get it done. Quote Link to comment

pigskin barnyard mcgiggles Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Quit shooting 3"s. We suck at them. 1-10. When you are 119th in 3's, you shoot them when needed. Smh. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 if they can get into halftime down 5 or less they're in a good spot. played a horrible first half and no bounce has gone their way as evidenced by that loose ball resulting in a michigan 3 Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah, take that Michigan, you fu#*$. Quote Link to comment
