your 80-65 prediction has flaws. Roche is good for at least 40 tonight.
b0mberMan {l Wrote}:This will be my first look at the team tonight.
Interested to see:
- Biko and Reggie running point
- Reggie in general (I know I'm not the only person who thinks this, but he's going to be/is emerging as a playmaker big time)
- Defense. All the players said they worked really hard at it this offseason and it was going to be our identity this year. But so
far, early reports are that it's been atrocious. Not a good sign.
-Elmore/Ravenel. Do they contribute this year?
A win over Michigan forces my Midwestern family to eat some crow, too. So that's always nice.
BCMcG {l Wrote}:What's with all the doom and gloom? Sure, BC hasn't played well thus far, but neither has Michigan. In fact, Michigan has been pretty terrible so far. If they aren't hitting from outside, they aren't going to win and, over the past few games, they haven't been shooting well at all. It is a problem that BC is undermanned. Aside from that, there would be no reason not to be confident heading into this game.
I understand that this season is not off to a good start and there are a lot of criticisms being thrown around. That's fine. I do have a problem, though, with criticisms that are misplaced. Examples:
- People like to complain about the flex and identify it as a shortcoming on offense, while it has been incredibly efficient at producing points (for several years now).
- I read how BC has struggled against Beilein-coached teams. I took a quick glance and it looks like Skinner is 4-2 head-to-head against Beilein.
- Southern, and BC's interior defense in general, is soft. You don't know how soft big men can be until you witness Michigan basketball under John Beilein.
BC's problems are simple. The defense is terrible and, to a lesser extent, they need to do a better job of taking care of the ball. It is too often overlooked, but basketball is a game of possessions. When they don't turn the ball over, BC does a remarkable job of producing points on their possessions. On defense, though, they allow their opponents to score way, way, way too frequently.
I'm heading off to Crisler shortly and hopefully there will be a BC win to celebrate afterward. Go Eagles!

Again we all know how it works. 2 wtf wins each season, 2 wtf losses each season. We have St. Joe's as the loss and Michigan as the win.

Despite the oddsmakers and even without Sanders I wouldn't count this as a WTF win. UM had lost their last 2 and last night they looked like they had just met each other 10 minutes before gametime. They have no inside game so unless the 3's are falling they're totally beatable.
I really like what I saw from BC. Great ball movement now that Rice is gone and I hope people noticed that Al seems to have designed a reasonably good inbounds play.
