Michigan is making 52 percent of its field goal attempts with Goldin on pace to set the school record for single-season shooting accuracy, while Burnett has Coach May turning cartwheels.
It’s night and day different from last year’s team and I am encouraged by Coach May’s assertion that this team can get even better. This is a fun team to watch.
It’s fun to see the team play like a team and not 5 individuals on the court who don’t know (or care) what the others are doing. I can understand the plays, offensively and defensively, and I enjoy the athleticism of these guys. I just wish they would take care of the ball and shoot free throws the way John Beilein’s teams did, but you’ve heard me say that ad infinitum.
Their togetherness does draw us in, doesn't it? A very connected team, and they are fun! Free throws are improving (especially Vlad) and turnovers are going down, thank goodness.
What’s amazing to me is Michigan looked listless and a bit sloppy at times, which is understandable after the two emotional wins at USC and UCLA. Having said that, Michigan still scored 91 points and was able to negate Washington’s big man’s 23 points. If Michigan would please cut down on turnovers and allowing offensive rebounds, they could be a very, very dangerous team this season.

Absolutely, Brian! I am thinking about writing about how much fun this team is for its fans. What makes it a fun team to watch for you, personally?

Also, what year did you graduate from Michigan?
