Agree, and he’s kind of the perfect complement to all those extremely Wisconsin dudes that are very solid yet unspectacular, then he can just make a play and get a bucket.
Athletes thrive in our system. We just typically don’t get them. He’s still raw in shot selection/playing under control but he’s learning quickly. Him and Blackwell are exactly what we were missing last year. Athletes to keep up with the opposition. We don’t have to play the Isaac Lindsey’s of the world. Still have to deal with Gilmore but that is what it is. And we haven’t gotten Essegian going yet either. It’s nice to have some depth finally.
Road win without your starting pg isn't bad. Still need work and guards but 2-0.
Juwan Howard is to Michigan as Bruce Weber was to Illinois.
Winning on the road without your best defender and ball handler…take it. Cupps is benefiting from the minutes and is on track
My guy, he’s also an iu fan.
Take a moment to realize your surroundings before shooting from the hip
Big win. Maybe this is the "light bulb" game for Gunn? He played well. Still A LOT to work on. But hey, winning on the road is tough. I'll take 2-0
Winning as conference road dogs no matter when and where is a positive.
This thread is a gentlemen’s club. There’s a reasonable limit to small state rivalry water cooler arguing.
It’s basically impossible for power conference teams with a pulse to fall past 150 and that’s the threshold for road quad 2 games.
Michigan isn’t good but they’ll win some conference games when they’re shooting better from three. As long as they win 7 or 8 conference games, they’ll have a top 150 NET ranking
Juwan being out with heart surgery is a definite factor but this is his program and the trajectory is clear as day. He needs to focus on getting healthy first but if he can’t do that and overhaul the staff to fix this mess in the offseason then he needs to resign for everyone’s best interest.
Love Martelli but the guy is not a good coach anymore.
True----Did not think of it this way. Schedule will make it impossible to drop to far---Unless of course they play Long Beach 3-4 more times.. RollLaugh
I respond to what people post, not who they may be.
Gunn moved better and his stroke was much better. Kept the legs in line. Quick enough to make some defensive plays but still reacts like he did in HS as the bigger better athlete.
Cupps is tracking well, guarded a superior athlete with a year's experience but made generally good choices and his defensive footwork was better which kept him connected. Still want to see us switch more there and rotate to help as he will rarely be the better athlete particularly when with X out.
Gallow need to find his shot wen we find him.. That was ugly.
All of them by a game, but then again Minnesota has the worst nonconference schedule in the history of man.
I remember the days when Michigan fans were upset if Juwan wasn’t put in the top tier of coaches. Now, looks like he’s going to fail to win 20 games for his 4th season out of 5.
Quite funny to watch the fan base that makes such a fuss that Ryan Day was born on 3rd base have to watch Juwan take a similar situation and tank it.

I've watched Blackwell in a few games and still trying to figure out why he was so under recruited. By far the best freshman on the floor last night.
We're pretty good at finding under the radar guys. We never seem to win the battles for the obvious ones. It'll be interesting to see if we can beat out you guys for Hannah in '25. Having Storr and Blackwell doing what they're doing can't hurt, especially Storr. Him and Hannah are pretty similar, imo.
Dylan Harper announcement is imminent. I’d be shocked if it’s not Rutgers.
Wild that they’ll have two top five freshmen next year

CJ benefited from getting "run" with the first team. Didn't have to be "the guy". When hes on the floor with Sparks, Banks, etc, etc...He's option 1 or 2----ANd hes not that guy, yet.
He never will be tthe guy IMO. It is nice though to see his stroke improving and defensive footwork improving. He struggled making quick decisions but hopefully than comes.
