Nevada's kind of bullying that poor team around right now.

I mean, then he ended up fouling a 3-point shooter and missed a few open looks, but I'll take it.

They're kind of like MSU except their point guard can't make 3s so maybe not

They have two giant dudes in the post, but it really doesn't help when Michigan's defense is elite-level (lol I just typed that) and A&M is turnover-prone.

Michigan was also due to make shots. It's way loving early though.

I'm sure at some point Michigan is going to on a scoreless run when the threes stop falling so I might even be more pumped about the defense so far

No fouls on Wagner or Robinson and they're forcing turnovers constantly

A&M lost three guards in one week kinda late in the season, which probably doesn't help with being absolute poo poo about turnovers.

Then again they spent a quarter of the season losing to the absolute dregs of the SEC before that happened too so...

I have to say, the lovely freshman PG saying that he was "unstoppable" and "unguardable" yesterday going into a matchup with Zavier Simpson made me about 500x more confident about this game, and so far that's really holding up.

Dude is 1-6 with 0 assists and 5 turnovers

It's *very early* and Michigan blew a giant lead against Ohio State earlier in the year.

But there's a murder in progress.

It's kinda the other way around, A&M isn't even trying to play defense. All these shots are uncontested

who cares tho they ostensibly beat one of the best teams in the country literally last week with that squad. This isn't so much an A&M bad situation as a Michigan Way Better and also A&M refusing to play defense

It's both really. But they won't come back if they aren't even trying to stop Michigan. They'll get to 70 with like 12 mins left and it'll be out of reach

I mean if A&M played every game like they did last week they'd be a 2 seed themselves.
