Haven’t done a links post in a while so a couple of these are a little old.
- Bracketology
Michigan with a 9 seed and 7 teams from the Big Ten. Have to remember that it’s January and bracketology is relatively meaningless. - Rankings
Michigan falls out of both polls (26 AP, 28 Coaches), no surprise really but I’m not sure how Minnesota moved up in the coaches poll. Duke is at #2 and UCLA is at #7/#10. - Tempo Free Aerial
Through the early conference games Michigan is the worst defense and fourth best offense. - DeShawn Sims speaks up, steps up for Wolverines
Peedi steps up in the locker room at halftime. - Manny Harris, DeShawn Sims lead basketball revival at Michigan
“I heard of the Fab Five but didn’t understand the level of it till I got here,” Harris said. “I’ve met Jalen Rose and Jimmy King. They said, ‘Work hard to bring it back.’ “ - Beilein wary of Indiana ($)
Me too. - Ohio State Game Preview
MSU looks to continue their hot start in conference play against an OSU team that is on the verge of falling apart. - Know Your Enemy: Purdue Boilermakers
PSU looks to try to upset a Purdue team with an ailing star in Robbie Hummel. - U-M’s defense quickly emerges
“The defense only works as well as we are willing to work at it,” Novak said. “When you do a trap, you really have to commit. When you’re in man, you have to commit to being with your man no matter what.” - Mike Nadel: Big Ten hoops are big-time again
So much depth… - The New #1: Is Pitt It?
Big Ten Wonk takes a look at Pitt and the search for a new #1 now that UNC went down. - Crater to South Florida
Not a big deal, but anyone have any idea what happened to Scott Martin – one time Michigan recruit that went to Purdue? I don’t think he’s on their roster anymore…
I think he is at Notre Dame.
Just looked it up, after averaging 8.5 ppg as a Freshman at Purdue he transfered to Notre Dame and is sitting out this year.
Interesting – I guess I’m glad we don’t have to play him twice a year now. Thanks!
I realize that their roster is a bit short tonight, but Purdue really looks awful. I think the loss of Martin combined with lofty expectations and the “target on their backs” results in them taking a step back this year, maybe finishing 4th or 5th in the conference and getting a 9-seed in the tourney.
Purdue = Not Good
At this rate they’ll be lucky to finish in the top half of the B10.
Quick random question. I saw on some Hoosier Blog that we are 4-30 all-time at Assembly Hall. Is there a website where I can view all-time records for opponents for college basketball? I found one for college football but couldn’t find one for college basketball.
