BTT 2021: Michigan vs. Maryland Open Thread

It is when the team is smaller and more mobile, tears you to swiss cheese with cuts & passes then bombs 3’s

Mike Smith, while being guarded by the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, is on fire.

He’s up to 11 points and 9 assists.

I assume the zone is to ensure Hunter doesn’t pick up his third for awhile.

So they make every step back 3 in the first half, then get constant open 3s against the zone and can’t make anything now. Makes sense

Can we pleeeeeease get out of the zone!

They missed and they were always going to revert to the mean but we are giving up great looks :grimacing:

Zone has allowed several wide open threes and a couple back cuts. Good thing Maryland’s shooting is reverting back to the mean.

Meanwhile Mike Smith says, “I have no mean!”

Didn’t you listen to Turgeon? Michigan came back because Morsell was on the bench! :rofl:

instead Maryland will have so many great 3 point looks? Which they knocked down in the 1st half.

It’s a gamble, Turgs getting quality looks on every possession against the zone

Wonder if they are just trying to keep Hunter from getting another foul with that porous zone.

I’m guessing they’re going more zone to save legs maybe? Otherwise I’m not liking the looks we’re giving up.

I got $1,400 dollars coming soon, so I hear. Happy to pool resources and put it towards a good cause!
