		<description>The UCLA gave us a small taste of how exciting Michigan Basketball could be.  It has been a while since I remember that much electricity at Chrisler.

We're improving on some things for sure.  But still have some major issues on D.  One player in particular doesn't even pretend like he's trying on that end of the floor.  Even in the zone he was out of position numerous times.  JB wasn't very happy with that.

I think I noticed JB slipped into a 2-3 a couple of times.  I like that.  

Don't really understand the substitution pattern for that game.  Seemed excessive, especially with all the stoppages in play.  Wonder what the reasoning was behind that.  Didn't allow anyone to get into a rythem.  I love Udoh... don't understand why he can't get onto the floor for more than a couple minutes at a time.

On offense, it seems like the team has forgotten how to make crisp aggressive back door cuts.  Earlier in the year they were making much better cuts and even if it didn't result in a layup, it at least alleviated some pressure and promoted more movement in the offense.  Right now, even when they are making those cuts, they are not with the intention of potentially getting a basket (which pretty much makes them useless if the D doesn't have to honor them)

Is Grady in the doghouse right now?

Love is a beast down low.

Did you notice Sims had his shorts on backwards at the beginning of the game.  I think that is when he scored all of his points.

Almost the perfect UM basketball afternoon with the Maestro leading the band, Quick Change rockin the halftime show, and a near upset of a top ten team.  Despite our record right now, I am still excited to watch the rest of the season.</description>
