Game 1: Appalachian State at Michigan Open Thread

6 TO’s for X

This would be the time for Zavier Simpson to play like Zavier Simpson again

Simpson with 5 turnovers? Symptom of the new system and/or a bit sloppy here to start?

Welp, my stream is behind obviously, lol.

And that is with X on the floor, I believe. Despite that, he might have a double double if not for Autobench.

Bibby created the Kobe assist w the chuck 3.

We are losing the hustle plays that could put this game away and now it gets closer and closer. Give me some guys that want to go hard after the rebound and box out.

That’s all with Z on the floor for the 2nd half…the effort and focus this half has been lacking. Not a great game for Z.

Stratagem of running them off 3 point line needs to be coupled it’s less fouling

I think I might have jinxed us by tuning in late with a 20+ lead. I almost was like, nah–I’ll catch a replay. Sighs. I’ve literally only seen an ugly part of this game, lol.

Last 10 mins have been brutal

Plenty of game tape for the coaches to teach with.

Think of it this way, we’re getting an opportunity to weather a storm in a situation where we’ll still (almost definitely) win

This game is giving me PTSD to the early Stu and Novak games where we’d have like 10 min droughts on offense!

Eli finally reaching his potential, though?

Was super encouraged by first half. This half outside of the opening minutes has been just awful. Jarring to see X play like this

Yeah Eli and Teske have been the best players on the floor

I would’ve believed 1 of 2 of those sight unseen :wink: Simpson will work this out. Glad to see Eli trending up. Teske seems like he’s going to continue improving. And, seems like there will be plenty to evaluate after this game.

All of the assistants just look disgusted. I bet they can’t wait for film session.

Have we seen much of Castleton this half? He looked great in 1st half.
