Keep it classy, Rage: As one of college basketball’s premiere student sections, it’s important that we refrain from swearing or using other slurs throughout the game. The University of Michigan is an institution of class, and as a collective representative, we need to uphold this standard.

To comply with the Big Ten sportsmanship code, the “Bum of the Game” has been replaced by the “Player to Watch”: Aaron Holiday

Doesn’t understand why girls wear so much makeup

You can’t spell his name without “orgy”

Strongly believes that men should not use rolling backpacks

Couldn’t walk at high school graduation because he got caught drunk in his school’s parking lot

Won his family’s annual Easter egg hunt this year

This is his first year at UCLA where he will not be coaching his son, Bryce

Good afternoon and welcome back to Crisler! After a taste of Big Ten play, we’re here today with Michigan’s marquee non-conference home game against the UCLA Bruins. If today’s game is anything like last year’s contest, we’re in for an explosive game, so hold on to your sunglasses, this is going to be a good one.

Odd Ball Out: Lonzo Ball may have left for the NBA, but the Ball family drama has contin-ued for UCLA this year, to say the least. Before the start of the season, UCLA made a trip to China to play an exhibition game against Georgia Tech. While there, LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill showed judgement as poor as Lonzo’s jumper, stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store and getting arrested. LiAngelo has since left the team, while Riley and Hill remain indefinitely suspended.

New Faces: UCLA has to replace a lot more than just Lonzo Ball this year. The Bruins lost their four leading scorers from last season: Ball, T.J. Leaf, Bryce Alford, and Isaac Hamilton, either to the draft or graduation. Ike Anigbogu, a former highly rated recruit, also got drafted, despite not playing much.

Famous Brothers: LiAngelo Ball isn’t the only Bruin with an interesting family. Aaron Holiday’s brothers Jrue and Justin both play in the NBA, Jrue for the Pelicans and Justin for the Bulls. Needless to say that the Holiday family has a little less baggage to deal with than the Ball family.

The Rest of the Bruins: Alex Olesinski (#0), Cody Riley (#2), Jaylen Hands (#4), Chris Smith (#5), Isaac Wulff (#10), LiAngelo Ball (#15), Alec Wulff (#21), Armani Dodson (#22), Jalen Hill (#24), Joseph Wallace (#30), Ikenna Okwarabizie (#34)

(7-3, 1-1 B1G) (7-1, 0-0 Pac-12)

The Alumni CornerRemember: A maize Michigan shirt, a Michiganbasketball jersey, or costume is required to sit in thebleachers.

Poole Party: In the Wolverines’ 69-55 win over Indiana, Jordan Poole led the team with 19 points, setting a career high in the process. Poole shot 7-12 from the field, including 5-10 from deep. Poole’s sharpshooting is a great sign and should earn him more minutes going forward.

Big Opportunity: After a disappointing result on Monday night, the Wolverines have the chance to bounce-back with a statement win over UCLA. The Bruins come in at 7-1 and represent an opportunity to add a nice win to the Wolverines‘ resume.

Well Rested: The Wolverines started the season by playing 10 games in a 24 day stretch. Due to the crammed schedule, the team comes into today’s game with the most rest that they’ve had all season. Look for the Wolverines to come out energized and ready to play.
