Top programs, well really college basketball programs would love if they could get a "5 star", have a decent season and hopefully recruit more down the line. The old college basketball wave is DEAD. These teams don't care about the tourney as much as they care about the notoriety. There is no such thing as the "blue boods" anymore like your UNC's, Dukes, UCLA's, etc.. Yeah those programs still exist but it's harder to stay at that level with the portals and one and done.

Michigan should recruit on the lower level and get guys who are not projected as lottery guys and build the programs, that's what Coach B did. Overwhelming that's the majority of college basketball but the one and done lottery guys get the headlines and its getting harder to have a cohesive team foundation now with the portal running rampant.
We are recruiting on a lower level. And we’re losing.

Everything Beilien built up in this program is gone :snoop: the basic fundamentals this teams lacks. Same thing happens every fukking game it's ridiculous at this point like what the hell is Juwan and Martelli teaching at practice? Defense is straight :trash: right now too. Unbelievable.

about to lose another game at the buzzer :francis:



Now Double OT :beli: this team really don't know how to close a game out :snoop:
I turned it off after Nimari's ill-advised 3.

That was probably the dumbest shot taken in basketball this year. What a complete lack of situational awareness. 7.9 seconds and you have a timeout. He wasn't shooting well all game, so why did he even think to shoot? Either attack the basket or call timeout. This isn't a pick up game.

Yeah that loss was horrible. Burnett’s three was a horrible boneheaded play, even the announcer was like you gotta drive that..

I’m a Fab 5 guy which made me a fan of the program and I’m a Juwan guy but these close losses are becoming way too habit forming and he’s in over his head.

In the second overtime the team ran out of gas. The biggest issue with the team now the lack of a bench that can produce...

Other than Cheddar off the bench who has heart who can’t defend on a D1 level and is streaky shooter is the only person doing something.

Trey Jackson is a huge disappointment and I will give Lewelian a pass because he is coming off a ACL but he can’t do anything on defense or offense and Juwan decided he should be the backup PG…

Because of the bench, the offense ran out of gas in the 2nd OT..

Every game is so disappointing…

Program is back to the Amaker era. Juwan has to be fired or forced to resigned after this season. I'm ready to blow everything up. Damn shame:francis:

Damn I'm usually all for giving a guy more time but I feel it's time to cut Juwan loose.

How old is Beilein now? shyt at whatever age he is now I'd gladly have him back.

Michigan's successful basketball program just defeated rival #17 Ohio State 69-60.





Most importantly Laila, who has been in a shooting slump all season, played well today (26 points). Hopefully it's a sign of things to come, we need our star to play like a star and not like one of the girls.
