Michigan has a real challenge in their next game taking on, currently, #11 ranked, 5-1 K-State on December 4th.

[YoungWonda]

THIS JUST IN

PG #01, a key contribuator, has just been suspended for 2 games for undisclosed reasons. Our very reliable sources say it was because he refused to pay at a local restaurant because he was on the team. This should be a big blow considering they have K-State next.


On the brighter side, two recruits, have already accepted scholarships to the University of Michigan.
Andrew Chung- SF
Ty Coffee- SF

The third is PG Ali Hines who is more than likely going to commit to Michigan.

[YoungWonda]

Sorry guys, posted this all screwed up. You didn't miss anything though. I just accidently re-posted the start of the K-State game.

Game 8

Michigan Wolverines (6-1)

Michigan Starting Lineups:

PF- PF #30- 83 ovr (M. Beasley)
SF- SF #15- 80 ovr
SG- SG #05- 73 ovr
PG- PG #02- 74 ovr

This was a fantastic game. Michigan had slim margin with around three and a half to go in the game. But SF #24 and Zach Myers were nailing 3-balls and made it too little too late. Michael Beasley (PF #30) was held to only 7 points. Michigan comes up with another upset 65-61.
(Reminder: This is on the 2nd hardest skill level, All-Conference w/ 10 min. qtrs.)

PF- PF #34- 72 ovr

SG- Zach Myers- 76 ovr
PG- PG #11- 68 ovr

This again was a nail biter. Cal was up by 5 with :45 to play. Michigan had the ball and scored a lay-up. Then U of M played the Half Court Trap which has worked so well and got a steal. On the fast break SG #03 scored. Uh-oh. Cal only up by 1 with :20 to play. If you saw the trap coming AGAIN wouldn't you pass? Apparently not as the same guy fell into the same trap again. Michigan scored on the fast break and finished it off 61-58.


Michigan has their toughest battle of the season on Wednesday (Dec. 12) as they play #5, 7-0 Louisville.

This was a highly anticipated game. But didn't live up to expections. Louisville was the dominant one all game. They played Full Court Press and got a lot of steals. When Louisville got up, the lead never got smaller than 5. Louisville bullies Michigan 69-53.

Post-Game Show

"Michigan didn't look like the 8-1 team they were did they Dick?"
-Reece Davis
"I'll tell ya what, they sure didn't. They were in no rhythm what-so-ever. PG #01, after coming back from suspension, had 2 pts. and a lot of missed shots. I thought Michigan looked like a 1-8 team."
-Dick Vitale
"Well I don't totally agree. Michigan is not a top tier team. They went up against Louisville. Who, I may remind you, is 7-0 and ranked #7 in the country. Any team that isn't more than stellar will have this happen to them."
-Digger Phelps
"Well Michigan takes on 7-1 Colorado on Friday. (Dec. 14). Hopefully they'll have a better outcome."
-Reece Davis

[YoungWonda]

News: Ali Hines (PG) has accepted a scholarship to Michigan. Michigan has no more scholarships to give.

Pre-Game Breakdown:
Key Matchup- SG #13 VS. Zach Myers
Deciding Factor- Big Men Play
Prediction-
"Well if you look at Michigan, what do you see? You see good guards, a dominant center, and a senior leader at small forward. So talent wise, I'd say it's Michigan. But with Colorado playing how they have been, being 7-1, I'd say Michigan is on upset alert. Final Score: Colorado-70- Michigan- 65."
