Stauskas to start today. Reports are that Beileis said LeVert will play today.

Playing sloppy today.

You hope so, potential "trap" games like this against good midmajors show if the team has really "arrived" as a really good team.

Horford and Vogrich haven't played yet.

Yeah can't seem to put the pedal down on people

Not real happy with this game, this team struggles to keep control over games against decent teams, too much bad decision-making both in shot selection and on defense. It's a learning curve to be fair, let's hope they improve on that front as the season progresses.

To many turn overs especially by veteran players.

Thats exactly who I was talking about. But lets get it out now and fix it so it doesnt happen any more.

Yeah, he and Burke were over penetrating too many times. Team was just off today(case in point, even though Stauskas had 20 points I didn't think he played particularly well), rebounding was the difference(Who would have thought that a year ago) that is the biggest difference between this team and any other Beilein team. People can talk about influx talent and rightfully so, but the commitment to getting on the glass is the most improved aspect of this program.

Stauskas played great today

Ehh, forced alot of shots in the first half and didn't d up all that well(though that side of the ball is a work in progress for all our freshman really). Stauskas is capable of playing much better and that is what is scary. Really love this freshman class, im hoping Levert continues to get minutes although Vogrich hasn't played particuarly bad he has not done anything to warrant minutes... I hope they continue to give levert more time and continue to faze out Vogrich as they have done lately. Nothing against the kid, he just is what he is.

Yep, and you could honestly say the same thing about the team as a whole as well. This team isn't jacking up 3's like they did in the past or taking bad shots in general, we only took I believe 15 3's tonight and very few bad shots like we had been in previous years under Beilein. I am excited too see how this team continue to progress as they continue to gel as a team.
