It feels like we haven’t practiced the zone at all
Whoo that looked like Moe against Louisville

Highly strategic move by Isaiah Livers to save all his made threes for the big dance. He’s always had such a high basketball IQ.

That was a GREAT offensive possession in the base scheme
Seems like the purpose of this zone is to let them shoot and miss

Feel like they’re deep enough into the half to get out of the zone to stop Dickinson from getting #3

Michigan is on a 25-6 run since I questioned their intensity. Someone must have gotten word to the bench.

I think part of zone is that Maryland was getting layups with blowbys on Eli/Mike. This keeps Hunter at the rim, shooters accounted for, and slows down the driving options. Protecting Hunter’s fouls and stamina are also factors I’m sure

This zone defense is really ugly. Wide open shot every time for them
The bench was terrible against MSU. I’m sure they got the message the past few days
Maryland going cold concurrent with our zone is going to each our coaches some bad lessons…
j/k
This was my thought. . . two more games coming in the next two days, and figuring we got this.
When Franz drives and makes these types of layups, it looks like he has a newborn in his hands and dropping it gently in the basket. It’s a beauty to watch

Tough to win games rolling with a 5-out squad and missing 6 practice threes in a row. I’m sure they’re tiring out a bit. They did play yesterday.
I have mixed feelings on it too, but assuming I trust the medical staff and Juwan, Eli needs to get back in the game and get back in the groove (look how many bad shots he had to take before he hit one in the first half)
Wonder how many open 3s that begin to drop Juwan is willing to live with? Rolling the dice and it’s working thus far.
