Scrimmage vs. Michigan

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Lol. Let the overreactions in here commence

[wisblue]

Al McGuire never lost to Michigan

In fact he did, at least once.  In the final game of the 1977 regular season.

I'll have to verify that

I'll have to verify that

It is a pretty famous loss.

They found out they made the tourney mid game and then just tanked the 2nd half.

Rico's bait always catches at least one.

Sometimes it is like fishing for Asian carp.

That Michigan team was rated number 1 for much of the season, and lost in the regional final to UNCC which, of course, went on to play MU in the Final Four.

National runner-up the year before to perhaps the greatest NCAA team.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Going to hurt our seeding.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

I imagine Shaka's seat is getting pretty warm.

[tower912]

This is Beasley the worst scrimmage news in years.

Won't stop us from being ranked #1 after Maui.

Did Wojo?

[GoldenEagles03]

I want that matchup with Kansas. We owe them a beating after the last few times we've played them.

[wisblue]

Did Wojo?

Yep.

The 76 Michigan team came the closest of anyone to knock off that Indiana team.

In Bloomington they had a 2 point lead with under 10 seconds left and Steve Grote missed a FT. IU got the rebound, came down to score to tie the game, and went on to win in OT.

In the NCAA Final they led at halftime but got blown out in the second half.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

115 to 111 ?

That in and of itself is ridiculous?

Was it a " defense free " scrimmage?

They played 4 12 minute quarters. For comparison that would be a 95.8-92.5 result in a 40 minute game. Still very high scoring but not as crazy.

I also wouldn't put much stock in the score. Secret scrimmages are often not true scrimmages and have additional conditons or rules to work on specific things

Yep, first and foremost, these are practice sessions withe conditions you mention along with getting everyone some PT. No way for all of us to judge  realistically 3rd or 4th hand.

[NCMUFan]

Is this your schtick or are you actually throwing in the towel off a scrimmage?

That's his schtick.  Contrarian.  Get used to it.  We will be seeing it all season.

[MUbiz]

Sounds like there was a better chance that Connor Stallions was at the scrimmage than defense actually played.

Not worried. I heard that the starters didn't play more than 10-15 minutes and Shaka was testing out lineups with freshman and sophomores.

Remember, Illinois beat Kansas in a scrimmage last year. I put zero stock in a "secret" scrimmage. I bet you Shaka is using this as a teaching tool anyway.

I heard Asian carp find you.

[mugrad_89]

Yep.

Whew - wanted to make sure we didn't keep the wrong coach.

[GoFastAndWin]

If we ever play CAL(sagChannel) or ARMY (Corps of Engineers) at FiServ, the atmosphere surprisingly, but most certainly, will be electrified. 🐟 ⚡️

Everyone needs to settle down.  Now, it is true that being the hunted and our early schedule will be a significant challenge.  In the end, assuming we are healthy, we will be just fine.

They won't.  Think they come crashing back down to earth this year and are a bubble team come March.  #pray

The actual news in this thread is MU fans can be trolled.
