[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1838960, member: 2886"] Oh, the late-evening schadenfreude. The MGoBlog Game Preview. lol: [I]Michigan has one more game against a dreg to not screw up before the Big Ten season begins in earnest. As nonconference sleepers go CMU is much closer to Jackson State and Eastern Michigan than Ohio and Lipscomb. Their point guard/offensive engine has been out since Thanksgiving, and since then they have two wins against non-DI teams and losses to Kenpom #235 Robert Morris, #224 Tulsa, #118 Missouri State, and #144 YSU. They still haven't said why, but we're guessing he's unavailable tonight as well. In his absence, every other guard and wing has moved up, drawing in a freshman PF/C who's just there for putbacks and blocking shots. Scattered injuries have sidelined six other regulars at times early this season, so the Chips have had a hard time figuring out their lineups. Their best move is to block shots, steal the ball, and get in transition. Even starting a tiny true freshman at PG, Michigan remains one of the stingiest teams in the country when it comes to either. This should be a slaughter, except letting bad teams hang around has been a theme all season.[/I] [/QUOTE]
