Coach Borseth warns Wolverines fans twice.
First he says they might lose some big nonconference games: Texas A&M and Vandy visit Ann Arbor before Thanksgiving, and they're top 25 teams. UM... isn't.
Second, he notes that UM doesn't have the one-on-one athletes to even begin to stop top-25 teams in open-court, unstructured play: the best opponents are "faster and quicker than we are, so we just have to use our entire group."
If you followed coach Borseth's Green Bay squads, you'll know that there, too, he used teamwork and set plays to construct a squad that won a lot of games, though they couldn't quite beat, for example, UConn.
You'll know, too, that he's been a pessimist for a while, and that his players at Green Bay didn't mind. If he can get the same attitude out of his Big Ten recruits, the Wolverines will be pretty good, pretty soon.
