I thought Petino and the Papa John's guy were both fired

2-4 Michigan Louiville.

Louisville looks really good.

Awful, lazy pass by Simpson.  Turnover and that allowed Louisville to score, because Michigan has nothing on offense.

Wagner?  Livers has missed about 5 shots.  Eli cannot even get one off.  Simpson, are you kidding me?

Number 1 and 20,000 fans, it is defensive intensity that will not let up.

Michigan is going to Teske because he is the best and only option.  There is much more to come.  I don't know where it came from so far this season or when it might reappear.  I have no idea who Louisville is post-Petino, but they look big, quick, and great defensively.

It is now 5-18.

Franz just, someone barreled into him in the lane and he just stuck out his chest and backpeddled.  He is very inexperienced.

There is no one to blame, though.  I do not think the team has the scoring.  I'll stay in touch with this game, but I think rosy introductory period is going to come to an abrupt end.

Now it is 7-21, but the truth is if not for Teske it would be 0-21.

Yes, I would have put DeJulius in too because the quickness and fast break is not there.  And Franz is out but Brandon Johns is a bricklayer.

Interesting observation:  if Teske is playing in the post he cannot be setting top of the key screens.

I feel badly for Zavier.  I have written this before, if Michigan had a stronger overall roster he would be playing less.

And we're back.

Looks like the score is closer.  Wagner is terrible.  First he steps on the end line.  Then he turned it over again with another dumb play.  Geez Louise, Franz.  If you thought you were going to come over here and it was going to be easy, you are bad and dumb.  He looks estranged and very out of sync with the rest of the team.  He also looks like he does not care much.

Now he missed two 3's in a row.  Everyone else has to make up for him.

He is foreign and a freshman.  Give him a break for sure.  All the talk about him going pro was fiction.  He was smart to get an education (free) in basketball and more.

The rest of the team is trying and playing as if it means a whole lot more.  Probably they do the same in practice.  How bad is Nunez?  Worse.

Now both Simpson and DeJulius are in.  Livers is still ice cold.  But again, Franz is the weak link.  Now they are going right by him when he is on defense.  Sloooow.

Yes they shot the ball terribly.  Sure Juwan is relaxed and cool.  The grace period in the Bahamas is over. 

You think you can just stand there, shoot the ball, and be a star?  Five star or high 4-star?  My ass.  That is a general statement directed at no one in particular.

Nearing the end Johns, Jr. is in.  There just isn't much there, on the roster.
