Opening day SS, are you listening Harris/Illitch?

McGonigle went 2 for 2 today with a walk and two extra base hits. No idea if he can play SS at a major league level, but I hope the Tigers let us all find out to start the season.

LJ Cason to miss remainder of season with ACL tear umhoops.com/2026/02/28/l...

UCLA beats Illinois at home only to travel to Minnesota and lose? Cronin is just miserable.

The basketballs, they were good tonight. Now up to the Michigan women to keep this trend going tomorrow.

Man this Pistons game is dumb, let’s hope it ends up an amusing dumb and not a frustrating one.

Pistons offense sucks in OT without Cade, who would’ve thought.

Hooray, long reviews in OT. I guess I’ll be fine with it if it goes the Pistons way.

Well okay then, guess I’ll go from a dominating Michigan road win over a top ten team to an OT Pistons game, basketball night it is.

Daniss???

Ugh, that was terrible Pistons. Gotta get that rebound.

You’re outright Big Ten champs (with two games to go).

Hellooooooooooo Yax

Illinois does not seem to be in too much of a hurry on offense…..

Burning a lot of clock on O, but a bucket would be nice.

Was that Cadeau just finding his range now?

Real CB short term memory from McKinney. Airballing a three just to follow it up with two straight swishes. What airball?

McKinney has airballed a shocking number of threes this year.

MARA!!!!!!!!

Pistons are really going to lose to the shorthanded Cavs after beating the shorthanded Thunder aren’t they? I would have preferred the reverse.

I will ask the question people have been asking all year, how is Wagler so good?

Let’s hope that is not a game turning sequence there. Cason misses at the rim, comes up limping again and Illinois drills a three, uh oh.

Are we already getting reffing to the score? That is two straight uncalled push offs by Illinois on the offensive glass.

Up seven and I feel like Michigan made way too many unforced errors. Hopefully they can clean those up and keep up the defensive pressure. Aside from a few early hiccups I think the D has been really locked in. Also please keep up the strong D rebounding.

Not a huge fan of all the Rez threes, but when he is dominating on the glass like he is I guess you take the good with the bad.

I feel like the refs could have stopped play earlier there. The ball was out of bounds and LJ was clearly hurt.

Oh hey, the refs can call basket interference, only on Michigan though.

Good defensive play for Michigan followed up by a boneheaded back court foul by the senior, Michigan contains multitudes.

Not gonna lie, Rez going coast to coast had me a bit nervous there for a variety of reasons.

Jesus, stop throwing the ball away.

Man, Michigan plays so well, and then just gets so sloppy for multiple possessions in a row, frustrating because it seems mostly self inflicted.

Yax rebounding and getting downhill, much better.

Way too many bone headed decisions by Michigan so far today.

And Michigan already miscommunicates on a switch and gives up an open three to just a shooter, bad defense again.

Do not like Yax firing off that three in transition, get downhill and get to the paint.

Well that was a slog of a ten point win, but that is a share of the Big Ten right there. Now let’s roll into Illinois and just win the whole thing.

I’d love a random great tournament game from him like last year, but I was hoping for more from Gayle down the stretch this season.

Big Ten teams apparently love to airball “heat” check threes vs Michigan.

I’m getting increasingly annoyed with Dusty, Michigan seems fully committed to play the worst possible game they can and still win. The same mistakes just keep happening on both sides of the floor.

So much for coming strong out of the half. This is just bad and lazy defense by Michigan today.

I love Dusty but the team looks completely unprepared to deal with the obvious things Minnesota was going to do on O and D.

God, this game is so dumb. They are 100% reffing to keep Minnesota in this game. They are just letting mugging happen all over the court until they decide not to.

Yep, this Michigan game is exactly as annoying as I feared it would be. Minnesota only has six healthy players but man, their style of basketball is atrocious.

Holy cow, two first inning errors from Max Clark in LF, he is not enjoying the Florida sun today.

And Holland airballs a three, so maybe not a full take off offensively.

Ron Holland folks, back to back grown man and 1s, dang.

Man, how does a jump ball even work? Sometimes you grab it and you get a foul called, sometimes the other team just puts a hand on it, what is even going on.

Man, we gonna get another game of absolutely insanely variable referring for a Michigan basketball game aren’t we? Not specifically bad against Michigan, but just wildly inconsistent calls all over the court.

Oh well, beat Minnesota first, please don’t get trap gamed. But let’s close out the season with wins over Illinois and MSU and run away with the Big Ten.
