I would gladly take an ass-whippin' from Duke tonight for a Michigan victory over tUoOS tomorrow. But in any event, the Michigan B-ball team looked really good from what I saw last night (admittedly I did not see any of the first half) as the defense was outstanding. I don't recall the Bruins getting many easy looks when it mattered.

Well Duke looked pretty pathetic in the first half of their game against So. Illinois. I think they had 14 turnovers in the first half alone, plus none of their top scorers had even scored. I'm guessing Coach K chewed their asses out at half time because the second half looked more like typical Duke. The game tonight should be fun. That Duke-Michigan 1992 final is still one of my favorite games. I remember being so sick of hearing about the Fab 5.

Ole Miss coach arrested

 

http://www.local12.com/content/breaking_ne...-QU6Qd1wdw.cspx

 

A former University of Cincinnati coach is charged with assaulting a man overnight.

 

Cincinnati Police say 40 year old Andy Kennedy punched 25 year old cab driver Jiddou Mohammed Ould in the face with a closed fist while shouting racial slurs. The assault happened in the 500 block of Walnut Street in Downtown Cincinnati at 1 a.m. The police report states that there was an unrelated witness who saw the incident.

 

Kennedy is charged with misdemeanor assault. He has a court appearance set for 12:30 today but he will not have to appear if an attorney makes an appearance and enters a written plea on his behalf.

 

Kennedy was an assistant coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team from 2001-2005. During the 2005-06 season when he was named interim head coach after Bob Huggins resigned. He lead the Bearcats to a 21-13 record and an NIT appearance that year.

 

Kennedy is now the head men's basketball coach for the Ole Miss Rebels. The Rebels play the Bearcats tonight here in Cincinnati.

Eh. I just posted those because this thread's been dead. We all know polls mean nothing right now other than publicity.

They mean a bit more than that. In Ann Arbor, for example, a slot in the top 25 helps take our minds off of the 2008 football debacle.

 

It's been far too long since the Wolverines had a decent basketball program. I'm hopeful that this year's team will enable Beilein to lure some top recruits who might otherwise have looked toward East Lansing or Columbus or beyond. A berth in the NCAA tournament would also help.
