This looks like the Illinois game just with less talent on Maryland. Continually wasting time trying to feed the post instead of running an offense is killing them. Wagner getting dunked on and the team just coming out with zero energy doesn’t bode well moving forward.
Can we try BJJ at the 5 please?

Horrible decision by the staff to start Eli in this game. He was guaranteed to be off and it just risks further injury.
Davis our leading scorer and rebounder
Well given the horrid shooting to start and foul trouble what we thinking is a acceptable result to be at half…down 6?
Two horrible calls on Dickinson. One of them looked like a makeup call for a horrible call on the other end. Just really low level officiating today.

Yes, but the reason is that he’s bad on offense, not that he’s the best defender in the league.

yea but the sloppiness with the ball, passes to nobody, getting late in the shot clock seemingly every possession? that’s more than not hitting 3s.
Is that intensity though?
I think I’ll trust the medical staff man. Why people jump to these wild conclusions is beyond me

They do look a step slow on those zone rotations.
Maryland switching everything on screen action is throwing Michigan all out of sorts. Turning into 4 guys standing around the arc looking to see if they can get it inside to Davis. Multiple games in a row now the offense has looked like this
Rebounding almost 40% of misses? That’s intensity, right?
I just don’t think you can say “oh they aren’t making shots so they aren’t playing hard”

no, i agree. i didn’t say it was intensity. i said it’s not showing up to play. those are different to me.
Juwan’s loyalty to Austin probably ends up being this team’s downfall
It’s the basketball version of the classic football fan analysis: “Why don’t they just run the touchdown play?”

Michigan needs to go Johns at the 5. Allow for 5 out and let Wagner attack the rim.
Probably just that Michigan is looking ESPECIALLY bad on defense; and the Maryland switching has really been preventing penetration

That call on Dickinson was devastating. Ref was right there staring at it.
Yes, it is.
