Sure but Duke having a generationally bad off gane after a 2 week break; im not sold on Michigan until they beat Duke head to head

Maybe they’re having an off game because they’re not elite. Having 2 weeks off ain’t no excuse to be down the entire first half to a 6-4 cupcake dawg

They’ve got a crazy resume? They’re not elite now bc they don’t win an off game by enough points for you😭

Not what I said. you ain’t elite if you get down by 10 points to “lipscomb” in your own gym and that’s facts

I said nothing about how much they win by. I said having a two week break ain’t an excuse to get down by ten points to a cupcake in your own gym and not have the lead till the second half. Elite teams blow everyone out from the start

Says fuckin who? teams go on runs in first or second half who cares about anything other than the win?? This mf wanna throw out net rankings bc he didn’t like a score 5 minutes in lmfao

Where did I talk about net rankings you just arguing with yourself. Elite teams have the game over by half time against cupcakes and they definitely don’t get down by double digits

Net rankings are based on quad wins which is how most people judge eliteness. You just don’t know ball. Let it go and hope Michigan can pull through in February 🙏

Never once did I mention metrics or quad wins. By the eye test they don’t look like an elite team. Michigan sure as hell does though and ain’t getting down by 10 to “lipscomb” as does Arizona because they put belt to ass to EVERYBODY

Now it’s the eye test 😭 I watched the wake game too. you cooking yourself just let it go brother

You’re defending the alleged #3 team in the country getting down by 10 to a nobody team at home and being down almost the entire first half 😭 it always was the eye test because I never talked about metrics once you just making up things to argue about

You literally using your “eye test” instead of metrics to say Michigan is leagues ahead 😭😭 Thats how arguments work lmfao you lowkey on my side if you think Michigan is still elite after the wake and TCU games

The metrics AND eye test support Michigan, can’t say the same for Duke

Anonymous OP 1w

They were down by 6 to TCU with 10 minutes left and 7 to wake at home with 5 minutes left. You talking something about blow outs from the start, that makes Michigan some genuine ass with your eye test. Lucky for you the metrics say Michigan is elite! What a genius holy

Michigan’s best player was injured those two games once he got healthy and established chemistry with their wildly deep team they quite literally have been blowing everyone out, by the eye test and by the analytics

Anonymous OP 1w

Nah you right a horrible injury that holds the whole team back explains 2 awful games Michigan barely pulled through on (he played 33 and 29 minutes), but a 25 point win after a 2 week break isn’t good enough because they were losing in the first half. You just coping at this point; we good over here ✌️

A poor performance like this two months into the season against a nobody is simply different than the first few games of a season against power 5 opponents with a completely new team and the star of the team injured, I hope you can recognize that. If you’re so unbothered why you still responding

1

Anonymous OP 1w

The point is both need slack for awful games. If your standard is blowouts at home, Duke won by 25 and Michigan 1. If your standard is winning through the whole game, Michigan was down with 5 minutes left. If you think Michigan is a new team after a month, they were losing to Maryland by 5 in the second. I’m not sold on one being better until Feb or a bad loss. But if you don’t want me to respond don’t say something ridiculous because you got a Michigan jersey on 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a Michigan fan I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous to claim Michigan isn’t elite when nobody else has been doing what they have the last month and then saying you won’t believe it until Duke plays them? Then saying metrics are important and then calling Michigan not elite when they are #1 on the two big metric sites. Maryland is also a power conference team with actual talent and that was an AWAY game, like that’s not comparable to being down 10 to a mid major 6-4 cupcake at HOME

Anonymous #1 1w

Michigan also had the fifth most difficult nonconference schedule in the country, so to imply they haven’t been tested is pretty ridiculous (Duke’s is 100th)

Anonymous OP 1w

Michigans fucking elite. The point of your post is Duke isn’t because of a single half in a game they won by 25. Which you justified using logic that makes Michigan also not elite. Don’t try to move the goalposts like we’re arguing about Michigans metrics 😭and Maryland is 6-5?? No way youre arguing that they’re good rn

Because Michigan losing by 5 to a big 10 team AWAY is not at all comparable to being down by 10 to a midmajor bad team with way less talent AT HOME. Why can’t you acknowledge that? Duke is a great team but they are not on the same level as Michigan and Arizona because those teams are absolutely elite, which for some reason you don’t agree with

Don’t use Kenpom for SOS that’s averaging efficiencies Duke at 7 and Michigan at 5 from my list

And I’m not arguing the Maryland game was bad. You just talking about blowing out from the beginning which they clearly didn’t. The bad ones were TCU and Wake. Point is they might still be the same team they were in November 😱

Anonymous #1 1w

I was talking about blowing out midmajor/buy games from the beginning is what elite teams, it just so happens that Michigan has also been doing it to power 5 opponents, and they’ve been doing it at home to literally everybody this seasons. You honestly think Michigan is playing the same way they were in November?? 😂 Don’t use the most accessible SOS metric okay buddy just trust your “list”

Maryland game looked like wake up to middle of second half, yah. I would say that. And you not gonna act like games a month ago are just irrelevant 😭it’s not even 2026 yet man

Michigan shot 50% from the field and 60% from 3 in the first half of that game dawg 😭😭😭 it’s just that Maryland was also uncharacteristically hot as well. Michigan’s issue in the wake game was turnovers they had 17 in that game and 9 total against Maryland so no I would not say they looked like the same team

They also shot 16% from 3 against wake and 63% against Maryland and you’re sitting here telling me that’s the same team

One players talent is why Michigan is losing in the 2nd half, ok. Delusion is a hard argument to beat

Anonymous #1 1w

They had 7 incoming 4 star freshmen on their team…. And I said CATALYST, David Coit’s career game also played a role, but there are plenty of players on that team that can get hot especially at home. And again the issues that were present in the wake game were not present in the Maryland game and haven’t been present since TCU so I’m not really sure how you’re saying they’re the same team they were then!

Because they’re beatable. They’re still losing to mid teams down the stretch. Youre the one who wants blowouts and your defense right now is that Maryland is a good basketball team 😢 fr tho if you so convinced why you still arguing, just take the offer to ping me in feb and I’ll agree Maryland is a just a great team

Anonymous #1 1w

OBVIOUSLY they’re beatable Michigan beat them by 18😭😭 I NEVER said Maryland was a good basketball team I said they have talent on their team that can get hot especially in their own gym, that is objectively true. The roster has talent but that doesn’t make a team good, look at Kentucky. But still, every power 5 D1 starter can get hot on a random night, especially when the #2 team comes to town. Like you’re just making up your own points to argue against.

And despite Maryland shooting over 50% from 3 in that game Michigan won by 18 points. And you’re telling me that’s the same team from early November 😭😭 most teams lose games when their opponent shoots that well

Michigan is beatable you dumbass. Use your brain holy shit I bet it does seem like youre winning every argument 😭🙏I can admit Michigan is a better team now without saying both awful games means nothin to the team a month later. I can admit Duke had a terrible first half in a blowout win that doesn’t detract from their resume. You can admit Michigan isn’t basketball Jesus and might very well lose to actually talented teams like Duke and Purdue if they don’t play defense for an entire half.

Duke’s poor performance literally did detract from their resume, they went down 2 or 3 spots in Kenpom after LMFAO😭😭 every elite team is “beatable” but the fact that a team can shoot 50% from 3 against them and then still almost lose by 20 shows how good that team is, and yet you want to compare that game to Duke shitting the bed for 30 minutes against LIPSCOMB at home 😭 yeah dawg would you not say a team shooting 50% from 3 in a game when they’ve shot 30% on the season is them getting hot?
