Last year's Central Michigan has one of the worst offensive shot charts I've ever seen, but the defense was good enough for Tony Barbee's first winning records in both overall and conference play. There was a lot of offseason turnover, today we check in on a new-look Chippewas team.

Central Michigan

Wes Matthews will be calling the game on FS1 Monday!!!

We will annihilate CMU.  But we must work out a few kinks before Maryland and Purdue.

Shaka can't beat Big Ten teams.  Just put down an "L" for both.  Billy Packer was right.

That's a defeatist attitude and unacceptable.  We must figure out what to do when Kam is hard doubled. We become dangerous if Jop drills the spot triple and Ben is active.  We also need Chase to settle down a bit and find his game.  Sometimes guys think they're Speedy Gonzales which is totally unnecessary.  There's only one Speedy, play your game.  That means moving the rock and ball reversals, a little change of pace off the dribble, angles, back-doors, floaters, lob dunks to our bigs,  and precision attacking in our h-c sets.  All 5 working as one, shredding dudes, and taking no prisoners.  This is doable and I fully expect us to elevate our play by Friday.

For the maryland game I think we have to kick and stomp some turtles for good luck. You in?

Turtle soup

I have printed out Muggsy's instructions and plan on getting to the UM arena very early so that I can tape it by the Marquette bench without getting run off by arena security.

Shaka: "Who used bad AI to generate these generic basketball thoughts?"

Ignominious comment.  Stop threatening Testudines.

Hey! Don't shoot the messenger Shaka.

You forget about Wisc. game, besides being in Big whatever, Gard owns Shaka. I have it as an L for sure.

"Hard doubled" sounds very offensive and speedy González reference feels very racist. I have both games as 100% Ls

Get up early.  Get the bench extensive run.  Stay healthy.   

That is all I want tonight.

I agree with this analysis.

I agree with all of the above analyses. They're fun.

Also, darkness.

I don't know what we would do without Muggsy. But I would love to find out.

You just wait for our first loss, flagellation will follow.

Can't wait to see Owens if today is the day he starts his career.

He is just that athlete that stands out from the rest of the bunch because of the unteachable abilities he has.

So springy, so fast.

I don't think he's playing today.
