Would a guy who has already redshirted really want to lose another year with a transfer? I don’t know. I agree that he probably won’t see much playing time from here on out, though.

We’re talking about him transferring. He could be a freshman, junior, whatever. The point is that he probably won’t see meaningful minutes ever again, as we continue to get deeper. He will either have to fade into Michigan obscurity or transfer. He seems like the type that values his minutes, especially after starting the season as a starter. I don’t want to see him go, but it would open up another valuable scholarship.

As for the game, how awesome was it to see Stu and LLP go off in those spurts. We are becoming quite the talented team from behind the arc. There isn’t really one player that gets minutes who I’m not confident in hitting an open three. How about Merritt. That boy is always good for a couple. I bet is percentage is one of the highest on the team.

UMDC – Wright’s a redshirt sophomore, so I imagine he’ll still be around next year.

The Big Ten definitely looks good. I’m sitting here watching Syracuse/Memphis and Dick Vitale just admitted that most analysts (himself included) had no idea pre-seasons just how strong the Big Ten would be this season. He ran through a list of impressive B10 teams and basically listed the whole conference. Awesome…

Jimmy, I agree, the Big Ten looks to be really strong this year. The TV talking heads had no clue once again preseason. I’d say the Big Ten is the second toughest conference top to bottom, after the Big East.

Bluebufoon, good question regarding Wright. It’s amazing how far he has fallen, from starting to no PT at all. I think one thing is clear, he will not be back next year.

Zach Gibson had a big game as a complimentary player. I believe his numbers were 6 pts 4 rebounds and three assists and three blocks. I know I’ve been tough on Gibson but he’s been productive the last couple of games.

Question becomes what does Anthony Wright decided to do now and in the future ? Obviously he didn’t play today with LLP in the line-up and next year its only going to get worse with Darius Morris and Matt Vogrich coming on board– does Wright stick it out on the bench or does he transfer to a smaller school to get some playing time ?

Not on the topic of our game specifically, but is it too early to say that the Big Ten is UP this year??

Minnesota (10-0) upsets #9 Louisville today
#17 Ohio State (8-0)
#13 Purdue (9-2) handles Davidson easily.
#19 Michigan State (8-2) upsets #5 Texas todat
I don’t think I need to talk about Michigan (8-2) here.
Illinois (9-1). Penn State (9-2), Wisconsin (8-2), and even Northwestern (7-1) are playing well.

All said, the league looks very strong this year but I think it’ll shake out something like this:
1. Michigan State
2. Purdue
3-6 Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State
7. Illinois
8. Penn State
9. Northwestern
10. Iowa
11. Indiana

Top SIX teams get in this year. 3-6 will be a battle, but Lighty’s injury hurts OSU. Go Blue.

Stuck in traffic at the palace. Manny had 13 dimes and 0 to. As a team we only had 5 again.
