Some things never change, the ones that do call it progress

Michigan basketball is back. Damn it's been a hell of a long time to say that. Watching the Mich vs. Duke basketball game on TV brought excitement that was once reserved for Michigan football. Now the irony of it all is that Mich basketball is better than our football team. In my mind and I think in the mind of everyone else, if we didn't beat duke, then the victory over UCLA may have been a fluke. Yeah, I say this because our team was just alright. It was a team that could compete with the big time, but might not have a good enough season to make it to the dance. I mean, we had to come back against Savannah St. and beat them in OT with a buzzer beater, at home. Now with the win, it secures us that spot of being able to compete with the bigs and make it known that we shouldn't be taken lightly.

Looking at the schedule we can be 10-2 going into the Big Ten season opener against Wisconsin on the 31st. We only won 10 games last year!?! This is going to be a good season to watch. Lets see if Michigan can move back into the basketball elite. Sims and Harris are a legit scoring combo. People don't even know about Laval Lucas-Perry. He transferred from Arizona and retained his eligibility for this year, so I believe he can start playing with us soon or next semester. He's gonna be a good point guard for us, and him and Manny will be a legit backcourt tandem. The chemistry is there and the 1-3-1 is nasty. Beilein is doing his job. Come March 09' we might go dancin. Holla at that.
