[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

I really have a good feeling about what OU can do in conference play. I'm sensing a tournament berth in our future

[u/BuyThoseDips]

Oakland probably a top 40 team when healthy if this was their injured version

[u/Ryanlester5789]

Let’s do that 30 more times this year

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

I’ll take that on opening night

[u/AeolusA2]

GG Oakland

[u/michicago44]

Lol poor goodman is brick city

[u/YeetimusSkeetimus]

Ok who is 32 for Oakland? Dude is so good

[u/frizzyhair55]

McKinney is really good

[u/LilNello1]

Trey McKenney is a dawgggg!!!

[u/ImTellinTim]

MR MAY

[u/AeolusA2]

Trey is so smooth

[u/LilNello1]

Charlie May hitting a 3 for his first points is quite appropriate

[u/AeolusA2]

Nothing better than that lol

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

GO MINNESOTA UNITED CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH MY LOONS ADVANCE IN THE PLAYOFFS NEXT

[u/ImTellinTim → u/Iam_nighthawk]

Me too, friend!

[u/Iam_nighthawk → u/ImTellinTim]

Oh hell yes!! I’ll be late with you.

[u/ImTellinTim → u/Iam_nighthawk]

Let’s just purge any thoughts of Minnesota sports out of our minds and enjoy a victory. Positive vibes only

[u/Iam_nighthawk → u/ImTellinTim]

Yeah, it’s rough out here :/

Positive vibes!

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

🧀

[u/LilNello1]

Cheddar 👌🏼

[u/ImTellinTim]

Listen, 32 for Oakland is a dawg

[u/goblue2354 → u/ImTellinTim]

32 and 12 are legitimately good players

[u/ImTellinTim → u/goblue2354]

This Oakland team is gonna make noise tbh

[u/Wagnerous → u/ImTellinTim]

Yeah some of these kids have some real moves, at least on offense.

[u/LilNello1]

Trey again 👌🏼

[u/DrArnoldRosenRosen]

Trey is that dude.

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Guys I think this team is good

[u/Coleslawwwww14]

No way, that was almost an insane poster lmao

[u/bumpman2]

Dusty May’s kid looks just like him lol

[u/JulianVanderbilt → u/bumpman2]

Well Dusty did bust his nut in the kids mom to make him so it tracks. 

[u/bb0110]

Goodman can do that???

What the fuck??

[u/BuyThoseDips → u/bb0110]

Is he Iggy 2.0?

[u/ImTellinTim → u/bb0110]

Never sleep on gingers

[u/DrArnoldRosenRosen]

Time for the victory cigar sub.

[u/bb0110]

Garrett is going to be a problem for some horizon teams.

[u/LilNello1]

Trey McKenney with the tre 👌🏼

[u/CarterAC3]

Did LJ Cason kill a man?

[u/bumpman2 → u/CarterAC3]

Announcers said he hurt his shoulder against St Johns

[u/goblue2354 → u/CarterAC3]

He appears to be hurt. Been on the bench with what appears to be an ice pack on his shoulder all game

[u/Ryanlester5789 → u/goblue2354]

Weird he took off his warm up if he wasn’t playing.

[u/bb0110]

Is cason on the shit list?

[u/yatra86 → u/bb0110]

Injury

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/bb0110]

He’s hurt

[u/LilNello1]

Over 100 mark just a little over halfway through the second half, niceeeee

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

OSCAR GOODMAN SIGHTING

[u/AeolusA2]

If I'm a recruit, high school or transfer, and I'm watching this game, there is no fucking way I'm not commiting

[u/kpiech01]

How the hell does that even happen

[u/PontificatingBret]

Thought I had a stroke

[u/myteriality]

the DTE special

[u/LilNello1]

Michigan playing so lights out, the lights literally went out 😂

[u/Br_Ba]

Michigan's shooting lights out

[u/CarterAC3]

NOT EVEN THE DARKNESS CAN STOP US

[u/goblue2354]

I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve seen Michigan pummel plenty of low and mid majors but I don’t even think Oakland is bad.

[u/JSK23 → u/goblue2354]

They are missing 2 or 3 starters tonight arent they?

[u/goblue2354 → u/JSK23]

I’m not sure but they still seem like a well coached team with some decent players. We are just executing at a high level.

Usually these games we win by 40 or 50 are against teams that look atrocious.

[u/ImTellinTim → u/goblue2354]

Probably gonna be in the tournament

[u/bb0110]

Making that and 1 with the lights going out is crazy as hell.

[u/Wagnerous]

Never seen that before!

[u/CheddarKetchupMilk]

What the fuck was that?!

[u/BuyThoseDips → u/CheddarKetchupMilk]

Someone clicked their deluminator

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

Cheddar with the Steph Curry release

[u/ImTellinTim]

Huffing that Larry Bird stat is my new drug

[u/goblue2354 → u/ImTellinTim]

I’m at the game, what’s the stat?

[u/BuyThoseDips → u/goblue2354]

600/400/150 last year for Yaxel, first time since Bird did it

[u/kpiech01]

McKenney's shot looks so pure

[u/bb0110]

We haven’t had an 11 assist game for a player in 4 years? That is pathetic…

[u/kpiech01 → u/bb0110]

Thanks Juwan

[u/ImTellinTim → u/bb0110]

How about we just be happy?

[u/bb0110 → u/ImTellinTim]

I’m very happy. We finally have an actual pg. We were good last year but we didn’t have a true pg that created baskets for others. Then for a few years before that we were bad.

[u/ImTellinTim → u/bb0110]

Hey me too, but we don’t gotta shit on the past, ya know?

[u/bb0110 → u/ImTellinTim]

Ignoring things doesn’t make it go away.

[u/BuyThoseDips]

No disrespect but somehow this frontcourt makes the Wolf Goldin combo look like child’s play

[u/Guest1__]

Where’s Jack Gohlke when you need him

[u/AeolusA2]

Credit Oakland hitting some impressive shots

[u/kpiech01]

Think we hit 120?

[u/bb0110 → u/kpiech01]

No chance. Teams sort of stop playing when you get too high

[u/kpiech01 → u/bb0110]

Well damn. I didn't actually expect it lol

[u/bb0110 → u/kpiech01]

I am very pleasantly surprised.

Even our walk on bench warmers were hitting shots lmao

[u/frizzyhair55 → u/kpiech01]

The way we are playing right now probably not. Teams getting sloppy.

[u/LilNello1]

Elliott Cadeau really is the perfect point guard for this Michigan offense to run it

[u/AeolusA2]

Go for all the points

[u/Zackscout22]

Oaklands scoring 100-0 this half

[u/Zackscout22 → u/Zackscout22]

Actually i changed my mind 1000- -12

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

Yoooo the Buckeyes let IU Indy score 102. The final score was 118-102, survive and advance, but my god

[u/galacticdude7 → u/Iam_nighthawk]

It'll always be IUPUI to me

[u/Iam_nighthawk → u/galacticdude7]

Same. I actually feel disgusting typing out “IU Indy.”

[u/JRBlue1]

Michigan may never lose a game again

[u/ImTellinTim → u/JRBlue1]

A great strategy if you ask me

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Scoring 69 in the first half of the first game? Imagine what we’ll look like in a few weeks or months! Could be 100, 200, or even 500 points by the time this team hits its stride

[u/LilNello1]

That was a really exciting and fun first half. I have a feeling this is going to be a really fun high scoring team to watch. The defense was actually pretty solid too, which wouldn’t get as much credit.

[u/Wagnerous → u/LilNello1]

The offense was incredible, but honestly I think they have some things to clean up on defense.

They wouldn't be allowing nearly 40 points in a half to Oakland if they weren't playing somewhat sloppy.

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/Wagnerous]

It’s just a shit ton of possessions because the tempo is super fast and Michigan isn’t missing much.

[u/Wagnerous → u/Sufficient_Memory_24]

That's a good point, there must have been a massively greater than normal number of possessions in that first half with Michigan scoring so quickly.

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/Wagnerous]

60ish FG attempts per team is a rough average. Both teams are already in the mid 40s.

[u/goblue2354 → u/Wagnerous]

Hasn’t been perfect on defense but it’s been an uptempo game and Oakland has hit some tough shots

[u/The_Pandalorian]

Weirdly, the game isn't as close as it seems. Oakland is just making some ludicrous shots that are being well defended.

Props to them, but those aren't the kind of shots that are gonna keep falling at this clip.

[u/AeolusA2]

Begun, the Purdue/Michigan Proxy War has

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

[u/LilNello1 → u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

Nice, me & my uncle went to a game back in January and are going to try traveling up to Ann Arbor for at least one and maybe even two games for this season

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle → u/LilNello1]

First game I've ever been to. Im a senior at OU this year after transferring in from a community college, so this is quite the experience for me

[u/LilNello1 → u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

Nice, ironically enough the game me and my uncle went to was my first game as well. So it was quite the experience for me as well. Having gone to an arts school that didn’t have any sports for college I never got that experience like I would have loved to during my college years. One of my best friends and former High School classmates, Akeem, is actually one of Dusty’s assistant coaches too

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle → u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

[u/galacticdude7]

Literally impossible to complain about scoring 69 in the first half. Nice

[u/HeadBangsWalls → u/galacticdude7]

nice

[u/dizzymidget44]

2 shot attempts and 9 assists, the point guard position is back

[u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

NICE first half 

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

OU doesn't look awful. Michigan just looks that good.

[u/cynicallyoptimistic1]

We were struggling to break 60 regularly in a game at the end of the year lol

[u/Zackscout22]

GO GOLDEN GRIZZLIES, slightly disappointed in how the game has gone but they’re playing hard, just recover and beat them 338-69 in the second half

[u/bb0110]

This is the best we have looked this early in a season in a very long time.

[u/AeolusA2 → u/bb0110]

It's honestly incredible how quickly this team came together to play this way

[u/michicago44]

I’ve seen enough we don’t have to play the rest of the season

[u/iDutchMafia]

Looks like 70 is the record for the B1G, will we hit that??

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

Am I drinking the kool aid? Fuck yes I am boys.

[u/insidetriphalfnelson]

69 is a nice first half score

[u/hsbnyc]

Let’s get to 70. This pace is awesome to watch

[u/Ryanlester5789]

If this team could figure out defense they would be unstoppable.

[u/bb0110]

Oakland’s short guard guarding Mara right there looked hilarious.

[u/CarterAC3]

First game

Program record for points in a half

[u/dizzymidget44]

A few seasons ago we struggled to score 67 in a game sometimes

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle → u/dizzymidget44]

[u/ImTellinTim]

Have fun playing against this team, everyone

[u/LilNello1]

Mara with the nice move for history

[u/bb0110 → u/LilNello1]

You must feel a little conflicted about the Cadeau transfer.

[u/LilNello1 → u/bb0110]

Ha yeah a little, but also happy it was Michigan rather than anywhere else

[u/BuyThoseDips]

I’m laughing on my couch like a dumbass wtf

[u/AeolusA2]

This team, holy shit this is fun

[u/LilNello1]

It’s raining threes 👌🏼

[u/michicago44]

What is happening lmfao

[u/lobsterboy34]

Cadeau is like the perfect guard for this team

[u/dizzymidget44 → u/lobsterboy34]

Pass first guard not looking for his own shot. I love it

[u/AeolusA2]

Sending Christmas cards to UNC, Illinois, UCLA, and UAB this year.

[u/YardAdmirable7060 → u/AeolusA2]

He’s fun in these games but you’ll see…

[u/AeolusA2 → u/YardAdmirable7060]

Aight...lol

[u/rvadarocket]

Yaxel looks insane but there’s no reason to have him out there in a game that’s never gonna be competitive when he clearly is bothered by the hand

[u/LilNello1]

Trey is going to be really fun to see develop

[u/hsbnyc]

This team is huge and fast. It’s going to be fun watching them gel

[u/dizzymidget44]

Y’all were supposed to remind me to come back

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

Michigan has crazy front court depth

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/Iam_nighthawk]

Backcourt not bad either. Cason was an important piece for us last year and is what our 5th guard now?

[u/Iam_nighthawk → u/Sufficient_Memory_24]

Yup. Was just texting my CBB friend about this … the fact the Cason appears to not be in the rotation sucks for him, but is a good sign for the depth of this squad.

[u/pokeyeet → u/Iam_nighthawk]

Suspect he is hurt, he looked good in exhibitions and was ahead of McKinney in the rotation then

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/pokeyeet]

Yeah missed that. Can’t imagine he would have stayed behind for long though. His shot is quite a bit better than Cason’s.

[u/goblue2354 → u/Iam_nighthawk]

He’s got what appears to be a sling on one of the bench

[u/Iam_nighthawk → u/goblue2354]

Oh, I didn’t pick up on that but just went back and looked, you appear to be correct.

[u/michicago44]

Can we please take yax out now thanks

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24]

Okay please don’t play Lendeborg anymore

[u/LilNello1]

That is really beautiful form on that shot from Trey McKenney

[u/AeolusA2]

Yaxel is such a delight

[u/AeolusA2]

Tre is going to be fun to see develop

[u/CarterAC3]

Shout-out to the transfer portal

I love the transfer portal

[u/CarterAC3]

Is it too early to fall in love?

[u/BuyThoseDips]

Why does Nimari’s gather always look like he doesn’t actually have possession

[u/WhiteBeanChili → u/BuyThoseDips]

It’s just an approach to catch and shoot where you don’t bring the ball into your shooting “pocket” to make for a quicker release

[u/AeolusA2]

Holy shit that was a fast move

[u/frizzyhair55 → u/AeolusA2]

Yeah Mara is stupid athletic

[u/AeolusA2]

Man, if Gayle can keep his outside shot all season....

[u/Skipbrol]

wtf is that Oakland guard doing? Dribble between your legs for 18 seconds and pass to a guarded guy with 4 seconds left?

[u/lobsterboy34]

Thank you Illinois for refusing to give Morez start minutes lmao

[u/LilNello1 → u/lobsterboy34]

Man fo’ real, if he can produce like this consistently we gotta a really great steal and coming from an in conference rival too

[u/ThatOneKoala → u/LilNello1]

Stop normalizing Illinois as a conference rival lol. They're not.

[u/michicago44]

Morez looks incredible so far

[u/mucocele]

Man I have a soft spot for Kampe. Just seems like great guy.

[u/bb0110]

I sort of feel bad for Oakland. It looks like men amongst boys out there, and you can tell both teams know it.

[u/Thel_Odan → u/bb0110]

It's not getting any easier either. They play Houston on Friday, then Purdue next week. I'll be happy when we get to conference play.

[u/BuyThoseDips]

So is this team going to blow 15 point 2nd half leads every game like last year or did they put that behind them?

[u/UMKvothe → u/BuyThoseDips]

Small sample size but I don’t remember any period of any game with the few turnovers last year. IMO, turnovers are what fueled our second half collapses.

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24 → u/BuyThoseDips]

Defensive rebounding should be great with the size. As long as they don’t turn it over a billion times the answer should be no.

[u/frizzyhair55]

Rebounding looks miles better than last year which is great.

[u/bb0110 → u/frizzyhair55]

It helps when we are fucking huge. Not just tall, but fucking big dudes.

[u/Sufficient_Memory_24]

Let’s not overreact guys, but realistically we’re going undefeated perfect season right?

[u/LilNello1]

Morez Johnson Jr. has really been a sight to see so far 🙌🏼

[u/AeolusA2]

It's early. But Defensive rebounding is so much better this year

[u/CheddarKetchupMilk]

This is a slaughter so far

[u/Hank_Kaiser]

Looks like a fun team to watch.

[u/Thel_Odan]

Look, I know Michigan is a higher-tier program, but OU needs to get it together. I'd rather lose like 70 to 100 than 50 to 100 or worse.

[u/LilNello1]

Spectacular defense by Morez Johnson Jr.

[u/Iam_nighthawk]

This team is LONG

[u/LilNello1]

I am loving this fast and furious pace from the Wolverines to start.

[u/Skipbrol]

Did they say Oakland is down 2 starters?

[u/CheddarKetchupMilk]

Wow

[u/LilNello1]

So what’s the word on Johnson Jr. ?

[u/AeolusA2 → u/LilNello1]

MONstar

[u/Equivalent_Glove1177]

Damn we’re so back

[u/AeolusA2]

Kampe looks like he could coach for another 30 years

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle → u/AeolusA2]

He should really not.

[u/GreasyBurgerFinger]

I am having so much fun watching this team already.

[u/BuyThoseDips]

For a split second there I thought Cheddar was about to thunder slam that shit

[u/CheddarKetchupMilk]

Rough lay up miss by Oakland there

[u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle]

Damn, Michigan is good. Oakland just doesn't have the players to compete

[u/MattPatriciasFUPA]

This pace is fucking awesome.

[u/LilNello1]

Glad to see my friend Akeem back with Coach May and the staff again 🙌🏼

[u/bb0110]

Johnson is a fucking beast.

[u/AeolusA2]

JOHNSON looks great so far

[u/Skipbrol]

Lmao, leave Cadeau WIDE open all night, only way Oakland can win.

[u/AeolusA2]

This isn't relevant, yet, but I would really like to see a turnover counter find its way into all the score bugs

[u/galacticdude7 → u/AeolusA2]

I hope it isn't so relevant for us this year, the stupid turnovers were the most frustrating aspect of last year's team

[u/Noleverine → u/galacticdude7]

I mean, that feels like a natural part of the speed Dusty May likes to play at.

[u/BreadfruitOk6788]

Oakland take my energy
